For the last several years, I’ve been going to Nicaragua under the PRMI banner to provide leadership training for Young Life Latin America.
The work of Young Life Latin America has risen up several indigenous leaders to national level positions. We have come along side them to give theological and practical training in cooperating with the Holy Spirit.
The 2010 camp brought together national and regional directors from the 6 Latin American countries.
Omar Picado, one of the National Nicaragua Directors for Young Life, had this to say (compiled from conversations I’ve had with him):
“I remember the first year I experienced the Dunamis project and felt the presence of the Holy Spirit. Then every year that the group has come, I’ve learned some ways to pray for the youth with whom we work. You’ve taught us how our ministry can be centered in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Your annual investment in us help us fulfill our mission: every kid should hear about Christ in their own environment.
We are able to see the life changes that happen as a result of the Lord working through us. We are grateful for your work.”
Check out these videos (I haven’t figured out yet how to minimize the background noise):
Video1: Leader Marta Valle shares about events during the camp, and how that has helped her lead her groups.
Video 2: Vida Joven leader Rosa shares about the impact the Dunamis teaching has had on their ministry.
