This update photo comes from last Wednesday’s dinner with the boys from the boy’s home that we work with.  These boys are at social risk and therefore live at this home during the week.  Some of the families just can’t take care of their children, or the parents are in jail, or on drugs, etc. 

To cap off the summer of classes that we did with the kids, we had them come over to the El Oasis house to share a meal and receive an honorary diploma for their participation.  We also had some games for them, showed a slide show from the summer’s activities, and even had a time for them to sing karaoke to some of their favorite reggaeton songs.  We had to censor a few.

 

 

Already some of the students in El Oasis are planning what the next level of our involvement will be with these kids.  They are already planning how to capacitate people who are interested in helping the boys with their school work in an after school program.

Tomorrow we will be having our fifth Bible Study (Tertulia) of the semester.  We are planning to tell the story of the crucifixion and resurrection from the point of view of four different people in the story; Peter, Mary, one of the soldiers, and Thomas. We want to tell the story as if we were there and it just happened a few weeks ago. This Bible Study will be different, more solemn, than most of our other ones, but will hopefully be thought provoking and moving.  Please keep us in your prayers tomorrow.
