Wow November! You have truly outdone yourself! Zona Cero was fantastic this year! We had almost 170 teens show up and 24 of them came to Christ! Our theme this year was, “Mission Possible: your mission if you wish to accept it…” based on Acts 1:8, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” We talked about being ambassadors and sharing Christ with our neighbors and “to the ends of the earth.”
Many teens came forward and confessed sins, asked for help praying for repentance and vowed to try and stay on the straight and narrow path. We urge you to think about a teenager coming forward and confessing their deepest darkest sins. It’s no easy task. And so many did because they were ready to be set free, because they trusted in Jesus Christ as their Savior, and because He used the adults at Zona Cero
We saw 35 teens come forward and said they were feeling called to go and tell wherever God wanted to send them. Please join us in praying for the youth. We, as the church, need to give them more credit. They are feeling called, they are ready to fight the good fight, ready to fulfill the Great Commission, we need to support them and guide them. The new generation is rising, Hallelujah!
Give Thanks
1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
We just celebrated Thanksgiving Day and many homes this last week were full of laughter and joy as many prepared turkey and other foods. However, I want you to keep in mind that just as He permits those happy days in our lives, he also permits the hard days, crisis, gray days. But He asks that we “give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” I encourage you during this time of thanks to give Him thanks for ALL … the good and the bad.
Happy [late] Thanksgiving!
Serving Christ together,
Pastor Luis
Giving Tuesday
Just a friendly reminder that Giving Tuesday is December 2 this year. This is a great day to be able to give back as you reflect on all you are grateful for. This year we would appreciate if you would consider donating towards our “Training/Pastoral Support” bucket/fund. You might be asking, what is this bucket for? Well, we’re glad you asked! This bucket covers the following ministries:
All of these ministries allow us to be a part in teaching, discipling, training and more towards our local pastors and teens. Our pastors and leaders need to be fed and filled as they spend every day feeding and filling the needs of others. Help us be the breath of fresh air, the ones who help carry their burden, and a place where they can come and learn biblical truths they can then teach.
Above we mentioned 35 teens felt the call this past week. That is 35 teens that may have, potentially, continued to ignore the call if they weren’t encouraged, loved on, and believed in. Please, help us help those who are submitting to the Great Commission.
