Young Friends Campaign

We had a group of High School students come from Southlake Church to do a Young Friends Campaign. Young Friends is a shorter version of "Let's Start Talking (LST)." It's teaching English through reading the bible. We had plenty of Chileans come to the reading sessions and as a result have made quite a few contacts! The group held a total of 16 reading sessions throughout 3 days and then we had a retreat! It was a great time to get to know new people and help Chileans with their English, and watch them learn about God! My favorite moments had to be when we sang Christian songs in English. I can't even decribe what it felt like to hear people singing to the Lord in English, people who probably had never sang to the Lord in Spanish! What a great experience! I am so thankful that the youth at Southlake chose to come down here and spend time reading the bible with our Chileans!! They were a great group and made quite an impression on me!
