I've just spent the weekend at the International Youth Leadership Convention - well the Central America version anyway which was held here in Guatemala - it's going to Mendoza, Argentina and then Dallas, USA. And it was Brilliant! It's organised by Especialidades Juveniles (the Latin American version of the North American Youth Specialties.) The speakers included youth ministers and workers from across Latin America -with a huge wealth and breadth of knowledge and experience - as well as several Christian bands and artists. No wonder that about 8,000 people attended! Tony Campolo was also amongst the speakers - it made me laugh when he was introduced as 'a great preacher - even though he's not famous in the church!' (well maybe not here......)
Anyway the theme was 'sobrenatural' (supernatural) and based on Acts 2 -talking about how the Holy Spirit can invade our lives and turn us into people and leaders who can be agents of change in our world - bringing God's kingdom on earth in transforming action and love.
Very inspiring.
