Club and 5 Months of being Married!
What a busy start to the school year!! We have Young Life on Monday nights and Wyld Life on Wednesday nights. Its been such a great start and I can't wait to see what God is going to do in the lives of some of the kids. Wednesdays are always long days for me, in a good way. Tucker (An amazing leader from Westmont) and I have campaigners (AKA:Small group, bible study) with 4 young men and we are going through the Gospel of John. Its been interesting and exciting to read it along side them for the very FIRST time, for them. They are reading the bible for the first time! they are asking questions! They don't give me the typical church answers! Please pray for these young men who are just beginning to learn about Jesus. They come not only for the pancakes and waffles we make but to learn about HIS word.
Tonight we had club at Taco bell! It was all you can eat for $3! We had about 45 kids eating tacos and burritos till they could eat no more!
Here are some of our leaders and kids showing off their Muscles and FAT!
Here are a couple photos from our first few weeks of Club.

Please pray for those kids we spend time with! Club and all the fun that comes with it is just a small part of what we want for these kids. We want them to know they have a God who loves them and that their life could be different. It could be how God intended it to be full of LOVE!
Please Pray for the Young Life Banquet next week. It is an important time for the Young Life ministry.
Please Pray for the Latino Leadership Experience and the 19 high school students who will participating from Santa Barbara and Oxnard. We will meet once a month till May 2010!
This is our Mission Statement: The Latino Leadership Experience exists in order to develop and cultivate the leadership skills of the Latino youth of the Gold Coast & Central Valley Region. We believe by the empowering of the Latino youth through this experience will serve to enhance their confidence, give them an identity, cast vision in their lives, and most importantly give them a Christ centered meaning that will lead them to become valuable leaders in their communities.
Please Pray for Angel. He as been locked up in Juvenile hall for the last three weeks. He will be sent to boot camp soon. Pray that during this time he will think about all the words he has heard, all the love he was given and most important that he would turn to Jesus. Both his parents are deported and only has his older sisters to look after him.
Please Pray for Carlos. He does not go to school in town anymore. Pray for protection. Pray that I would get opportunities to spend one on one time with him. Pray that God would change his heart.
Let me share that this month my wife and I celebrated 5 MONTHS of being married! I know, I know it sounds like a long time but really we are still newly weds. We have been learning so much about being married. It not only has been hard at times but so wonderful and beautiful. We are falling more and more in love with each other every day!
Thank you to all who pray for us and our ministry!
