TBT Worldwide

I just received the news that the entire LA Teen Ministry will now use Truth Be Told as the name for thier High School Bible Talks. If you didn't know already, the Central was the pioneer for TBT. Props go out to EJay who came up with it. Now we need a logo. I have several already to choose from but I want to open it up one more time to you all to try. So, turn in a logo to me by this Saturday. To those saying to themselves, "TBT Worldwide but it is only LA wide," I say first LA and next the world. May God bless and work through TBT.

Chillin in SACTOWN

Wat up Teen Ministry....

So this past weekend...Erick, Matt, and I shared a relaxing, fun, and encouraging time together in my home-town...Elk Grove, Ca....AKA SACTOWN! lol....it was a tradition Erick and I started last year...

We end the summer in style by taking a road trip together..jus the homiez...relaxing, eating, talking, and bonding. From the morning we left....to the very last night...laughter is in our lungs....and all the crazy randomness of life comes out. From inside jokes...and stuffed stomaches after devouring my Pop's BBQ...to late night swims in the pool and early morning chorizo and egg sandwiches...the 4 day weekend is definitely a getaway we look forward to every year. 

It was a great opportunity for me to bring home and share a piece of my life here in LA with my family...be a light in the Vasquez home, and serve in any way possible. My parents look forward to having us guys over and man....we live it up for a few days...hahaha///ping pong matches... 

(sorry Matt)///lol...to nick names...and embarrassing moments...we experience it all in just a few days....

I wanted to share with the rest of you how encouraged I am by the closeness and bonding experiences he have with one another here in our very own ministry. From the other teen guys to the teen girls...and the TLs as well...we are family and man...this weekend proved to me how close we have become and how close we all can become as a family. 

Im grateful for times like these : )

Teen Summer Olympic Challenge

Word to the Nations.....!!!..

So hey ya'll wonderful colored folks from around the nations....I bring greetings of great encouragement and joy.....

I know we are all having a blast kickin it up for the Lord with this summer's challenge......I have seen everyone fired up and ready to rumble in a fun...creative and spiritual way : )

I really wanted to lift up my team>>> JAMAICA!!!...what???!!!????

Jpeezy, Cynthia, Ray, and Frankie have all shown heart of compassion for the lost with sharing our faith at the mall. JP led the way for us all by being an evangelist machine and sharing with anyone that came in his path.....Cynthia held it down for the ladies by sharing with all the woman and young ladies at the mall we met...as well as helping out the guys when they were stuck wuth what to say....Ray gave his heart into every conversation he had with people, having the longest conversations and getting phone numbers of men of all ages....and Frankie...over coming shyness and fear to share with strangers.....it was a blast being able to pray together for those we shared with and giving our hearts to those shoppers at the mall....

Honestly...to see Team Jamaica's efforts and willingness to spread God's word and invite people to church was inspiring and motivating to be apart of. 

Soon after...going to my place and "breaking bread together" (pizza and some coke...hahaha) was bonding and comforting...and as a team united..creating out flag only allowed us to see eachothers artisitic abilities and work together to create something so memorable and lasting.....Seriously..I saw our team grow together in one afternoon and saw God's hands work in specific ways....

As the coach of the Jamaica Team...Im proud of the Huge Hearts and Efforts to Love God....

Keep it up teen ministry....!!!! Bring home the GOLD!

Quick Note

I just wanted to let you all know that I'm extremely excited about the Teen Ministry. I think it is going to be a great year.

ok.......ok.....ok......

TEEN CAMP =D
it was awesome. it was life changing.
everything i personally needed.
it covered so many things and helped me A LOT with different struggles and i have no doubt it did that for everyone.
well at least the people who came with an open heart or eventually opened their heart.
the skit was awesome. everybody did a GREAT JOB.
it was difficult to just straight get things done but we got it done and we got it done well.
very well
=)
theres a DVD being made of teen camp and i know a few of us ordered it so you guys will definetly get to see it.
a problem occured at the booth at the beginning of the play so the music didn't come on when it was suppose to but it still turned out great.
God really answered my prayers and showed His glory through His creations out there.
i hope and pray that we ALL follow through with whatever decisions we made to get closer to God.
love you all, guys, girls, young women, young men, old folks, sisters, brothers =D

I know everyone had a great and impacting time at teen camp but I see no posts. What's up w/that?

Thank yah!

I was so encouraged on friday evening being welcomed by all of you guys into the awsome teen ministry. It is truly an answered prayer for me to be given the oppurtunity to serve the next generation of leaders and servants of Christ Jesus. I will make it a point to build a friendship with all of you guys and be an awsome big brother in Christ. Please feel free to talk to me if you guys need anything. So lets glorify God this new year term and have alot of fun.
