Jan-Feb 09

This past January through February we were busy with fund raisers for our teen camp in the summer. Many of the kids don't always have the monies that they need to attend camp, so Jeff organizes various fundraisers (predominately) in the beginning of the year to help with their camp expenses. We sold: pizzas, brownies, cakes, elotes (corn), bolis (frozen fruit juices), cremitas de coco (don't ask...I have NO idea!) and among other things, also flan. (Yes, Bryan, I thought of you the night we sold them!) We encourage the people of our church to donate the ingredients and then the teens "sell" the goods and the earnings are divided up among the campers. Jeff does a great job encouraging the church people to get involved and so far, it's been a successful endeavor.

Also, we have been currently working with 2 couples in the youth ministry: Humberto & Marina, and Virgineo & Iliana. Jeff had the privilege of baptizing Virgineo and we hope to see these couples slowly but surely begin to take on more and more of the ministry's responsibilities.
