ANNOUNCING EL RETO 2017!!

EL RETO 2017 is just around the corner and we are making preparations for this 6 week youth outreach in August and September.

This year's theme is "ENFOQUE" (Focus).  Colossians 3:1,2 says, "Since then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.  Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things."

Today, there are so many distractions in our lives: financial security, possessions, appearance, television, internet, and especially Facebook.  The list could go on.  The concept that the Apostle Paul shares applies to us today.  Not that these things are "bad", but when used incorrectly, they become a distraction and we lose our focus on God and His principles.

This year, we want to help the students become aware of how "things" can distract us from following God and receiving His blessings.

JOIN US AS WE REACH OUT TO YOUNG PEOPLE WHO NEED HOPE AND PURPOSE IN LIFE!

Our goal for a working budget is $2,000 which includes promotional materials, activity materials, staff and captain shirts, snacks for the students, and our major expense of transportation.

We do not charge anyone to come which is why we need your help.

Thank you for your generous contributions!



Here is how last year ended:
