Calvary Los Gatos High School Go Team Interest Meeting Sunday, 11-18-2012
And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, ... Acts 2:44-47 ESV
ImprovLG exists to be a safe place for students to: explore the life and teachings of Jesus, connect with other students, and with Christ-centered leaders. Our prayer for all our students is to become missional and incarnation disciples of Jesus
Welcome! This Guatemalan adventure will be a time to look back on and see Gods hand at work in our lives. The high school students and staff that go on this trip will experience God in a way they probably never have before, serve alongside our Guatemalan brothers and sisters in Christ, be pushed in their faith, share lots of laughs, and of course..eat awesome food! This is not a vacation, but rather something much greater. The way we think and act, putting God in a box, must be challenged. Each student and staff will experience God in a different way: different than ever before and different than anyone else, that is the beauty of the personal relationship with God through the saving blood of His Son. We will be heading to a new area (to us) in Northeastern Guatemala near Tikal. (Tikal is famous for its Mayan ruins and other experiences of antiquity). It will be in a poor area, we will be experiencing a jungle community that we in the south bay area of California could not fathom until we go. And we will experience a Guatemalan church on fire for God that we have the privilege of serving to expand their ministry. We are honored to accept the Guatemalan pastors associations request for our high school group to come and help build their new church building and run a Vacation Bible School for the neighborhood kids This being said, one of the great things about Beyond Partnership (the organization well be going with) is that they believe in being flexible to the calling of the Holy Spirit and the needs of the pastoral country leaders. So no matter what we end up doing (it will likely remain as construction and VBS), well be in good and safe hands in Guatemala.
(Oh ya, and soccer rain or shine!)
