What we've been up to...

Aldo has been discipling his friend and co-worker, Emilio:
Meet Emilio:  Emilio's father left his mother, when Emilio was very young, to pursue other women.  This greatly impacted Emilio's childhood and adolescence and left him feeling lonely and rejected.  He tried to fill that empty void with many things: alcohol, media, girls, etc, but he still felt an emptiness in his heart.  Emilio was invited to Vida Joven camp where he meet the Lord, and is now one of our strongest student leaders.  
Emilio's brother was killed last September and now his family is trying to deal with the loss as life goes on.  The Lord has given Emilio strength to be a great support for his family as they all deal with the loss.  He is radiating Jesus to them during this tough time.  Please pray with us for Emilio and his family for strength and comfort in Jesus.

We both recently finished our yearly training camp event:
Aldo did an excellent job on organizing and putting together our annual training camp.  We had 157 leaders attend who are all passionate about developing relationships with youth and sharing Christ's love with them.  Praise Jesus for an excellent Spirit-led weekend!  Check out the video from Training camp under our photos and videos page

Katie has been practicing her superhero skills by night:
This picture is from our WyldLife Superhero club!  While our numbers have been low this past semester, we have been blessed to be able to pour deeply into a few students. Please continue to pray for the WyldLife ministry, as Katie disciples Rosi and Kasandra that went to camp in February.  Pray that they will continue to love the Lord and seek Him during the summer months when they are on summer vacation. 
And in our free time: 
We've been teaching our friends how to play Just Dance 2!

 Thanks for your continual investment in the lives of youth in the Dominican Republic!
