Steve's first talk in Spanish!!!

We had our 4th meeting of Punto de Encuentro and we were blown away from the turnout. 19 Cucea students showed up to be a part of the meeting. It seems like we have very little turnover and not only do they come back, they bring friends! Steve and I were talking about how it was going and if you can compare this start up to WSU, we are so much further along. We didn't even hit 15-20 regulars until our 2nd year in at Wright State. We've also been able to make great connections with them outside of the group. Steve and I still feel like our biggest ministry is to Angela who we are helping get this started. We want to make sure she is completely equipped and confident when we leave in a few months. Please keep praying for us, Angela, and the students, who are starting to take ownership of Punto de Encuentro.

And Steve got to do a "talk" in spanish! He wrote it all out a head of time so that he would know how to say everything correctly and he did great! It's a lot harder because he would have to think so much on how to say things that he couldn't just go off on his side notes like he usually does. He was pretty excited about it though!!

Liz, one of our students, wanted to have a pizza party this week. So we all chipped in and had Domino's come after the meeting. It was another great time of them connecting with each other.

Some of the students are already calling this their group and telling others that they are a part of this Christian group at CUCEA. They are so connected to each other already! Like I said before, it seems like this group is way ahead of the early beginnings of WSU XA. It has so much potential to do really well.
