We drove an hour and half away to a rural town called Peña Negra.
The youth enjoyed exploring the river nearby.
Good thing, because the boys had to use it to bathe in the mornings because there was only one shower...
Which of course the girls got to use.
The evening worship was lively and emotionally charged.
Luz Mary and her three daugthers, all gifted musicians, led the singing, preaching, and prayer times.

We also met with the 25 youth group members for our own morning devotionals.

Many of the youth had meaningful and powerful encounters with God during the retreat.
Here several of the youth reflect on what they are taking away from the weekend.
