Youth, what age are we talking about?

This is Sunday evening, and seems like we just had Monday, where did last week go, and what about the weekend! WOW!
This has been a busy weekend, maybe thats why it flew by so quickly!
Mary spent the night Thurs & Friday nights at Maria Amables house. They have been friends since we got here to Costa Rica!
Saturday morning I had my bible class, so James and I left the house around 7am. I left James in Tabarcia to play with friends, and went to class from 8-2.
Franklin worked here at camp in the shop, then in the evening joined us for an awesome church service! Our youth group at church have been growing in the LORD, so they were in charge of the service Saturday night. Was wonderful, those of you who have met Dalberth, he is 23 now, he was in charge of leading the service, master of ceremonies of sorts. They started with music as they usually do; all but 2 of the 7 people playing and singing were youth, Mary at the keyboard and Maria Amable at the drums!
Here the youth group ranges from 16-30something! Hence the headlines! Hehehe! Anyways back to the service, after wonderful praise and worship several of the youth took up the offering, 2 sang a special song. 4 young people gave a short version of their testimony! What testimonies!

And the theme throughout, although they hadn't even planned it that way, each had to get together what they were going to say but not share it until the service, the theme throughout was how the church had brought them the love that had been missing in their life! WOW! GOD is so good! As each of them finished telling about how JESUS had changed their life, Dalberth asked the Father or Mother to come up to give their child a hug, what a special time! Looking forward to great things to come! Alltogether there were around 30 youth in the service, we adults were outnumbered! What a blessing! Our pastor Olger has always worked hard to draw the youth in, and help them get on their feet, helping them study, helping them find jobs, and teaching them the WORD OF GOD!
Hope to see these kids strong for JESUS throughout their lives, living, giving, loving without holding back, without thinking about how they look or who is watching, GOD give them strength and a strong LOVE for JESUS CHRIST to last forver! Amen!
JESUS BLESS YOU! Franklin Evelyn Mary & James
