Celaya Youth Retreat - Mexico

Celaya Youth

The  morning started off about 70 degrees with beautiful sun and hopes of a glorious February Saturday.  It was the type of day that any normal teen would be making plans to play football or go to the mall.  Interestingly, a handful of teens arrived at church where they would be encouraged to walk with Jesus.

Why would a teen spend a beautiful Saturday in class learning about God rather than relaxing with friends?  The only reason is the regenerative power of the Gospel.  They’ve heard about their sins, trusted in the mercy of Christ to forgive them and now the Holy Spirit is living inside of them motivating them to thankfully live for God.

This is what world missions is all about.  It’s happening one person at a time, in one location at a time all over the world. 

Please show your thankfulness to God by joining others going, giving and praying for the Gospel to change lives.
