Youth camps hold a very special place in our hearts. It was at one of these camps that we met—serving together and witnessing firsthand how God transforms lives. Now, years later, God has given us the privilege of organizing youth camps in our church.

This year's camp was called "Peregrinos en marcha", inspired by The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan. The goal was to encourage the participants to:
It is exciting to see how, just as we once were, many young people were ministered to, challenged, and encouraged in their walk with God. We have witnessed young people returning to Christ and others coming to know Him for the first time, reminding us that every camp is a divine opportunity for a new beginning. What a joy it is to be part of what God is doing in this generation!
God surprised us with the opportunity to come to Brazil and serve at the Bible Institute this semester. It has been a reminder that when He leads, He also provides and equips us for the work.

8 hours on the road to drop off our puppy.
Before leaving for Brazil, our journey began with a special stop in Lima. We had to make sure our beloved puppy, Mila, was in good hands while we served at the Bible Institute. Thank God, we left her in the care of her "grandparents" and her loving "doggy uncles," who welcomed her with open arms and are absolutely spoiling her. Seeing how well she is adapting and being loved has given us great peace as we step into this new season.

After that emotional farewell, we arrived in Brazil with hearts full of gratitude and expectation, ready for what He wants to do in and through us. From day one, we immersed ourselves in preparing and organizing the semester, getting to know the students, and witnessing how God has brought each of them here with a special purpose.
We began classes by studying the book of Daniel with Pastor Luis Sanchez, an excellent pastor and teacher who was a great blessing to all.

We find ourselves in the midst of this beautiful adventure, eager to see what God will continue to do in the lives of these eight young people and in our own. The Lord has opened this door, and we are excited for what is to come!
Our time in Brazil has been a season of great learning. God is challenging us to grow as we walk, learning along the way while trusting in His grace. He reminds us that "The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it" (1 Thessalonians 5:24). He is the one who equips us on the journey—not because we have everything under control, but because His faithfulness sustains us.
He is teaching us to love, minister to, and disciple these brave young people who have left everything to know Him more. He challenges us to live out what Jesus taught: "Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant"(Matthew 20:26). Serving is not about comfort but about surrender, love, and trust in His guidance.
