The retreat was this past weekend, we worked hard but we also had a lot of fun. We ended up with six young guys coming out of the eight that were invited, the only people that did not come were the ladies that we had invited. I think I have mentioned before that we struggle to get young women interested in the programs here. It seems to be true for the younger discipleship groups here too.
Throughout the weekend we played team building games, spent time studying the Bible together, and taught them about specific topics. The theme was “Committed to God, Committed to each other.” The guys really responded to the teachings that David gave but it still seems like they are not ready to make lasting commitments. Please continue to pray for this group of young people, God has great plans for this community!

We have an exciting weekend coming up. We are hosting the Hope Club weekend retreat on the YWAM base this weekend! The theme for is: “Committed to God, Committed to each other.” In the past few months we have really concentrated on building a sense of community amongst the Hope Club members. David has focused on the early church in Acts, and has drawn many examples and lessons from the first few chapters. We are expecting eight young adults who have been consistently part of the program. We hope to establish a core group among them who will further grow the ministry in Katutura. Pray for us and them this weekend, as we share the basic tenets of Faith with them and challenge them to make lasting decisions for Christ, and deeper their relationships with God and each other. We are excited for this time, we have been working with these great young people for several months now and we have been slowly building our relationship with them. We look forward to going deeper with them! We are planning team building challenges, games, a movie night, lecture times, small group time and good food.
Thanks for the continued prayer and support, we could not be doing this without you!
