Happy Tuesday to you once more from Costa Rica!
On Sunday, I was invited to join the leadership team and some other faithful attendees of the young adult ministry of my church to talk over some things and plan our next special event. It is amazing how much the ministry of
Vigía 360° has in common with small groups! I feel like I was able to share a few comments and suggestions for
Vigía regarding things I've been learning about small groups, and that was really neat. And, now I'm talking with the leader of
Vigía (my good friend Pri I've mentioned before) about implementing small groups in
Vigía! Exciting stuff. As in the rest of the ministries and areas of church, this is a special time. We are adjusting to being in our own building and lots of new people are coming. We are doing our best to keep on growing in the Lord and moving forward and living into the fullness of all God has in store for us. We talked at the meeting on Sunday about the importance of keeping our eyes fixed on the Lord and not worrying about numbers. Attendance at
Vigía has dropped this year, and we are working on providing more followup and personal invitations to people, but we also know it's not just about quantity. We want to be a welcoming community that is passionate about God. We believe if we keep our eyes on him, he will direct our steps and take care of the rest.
Please keep this ministry in your prayers--we are excited for what God has in store for us! Please also keep praying for small groups. We are going to be recruiting new facilitators the next couple weeks and then starting to sell materials for our next series,
Relaciones de Vida (Life-Giving Relationships) that starts in just a month!
Thank you! May God bless you with rich community and life-giving relationships!
Carrie
