Retiro 2012

Iglesia Cristo Redentor had our church camp the other Saturday. Such a good day. I was super-impressed by the richness and relevance of the teaching, which was all about life founded on the Gospel (la vida que surge del evangelio) (1 Corinthians 15:1-2). We learned about the distortions that can creep in after we become believers, in which we come to rely on rules or religion or in which we excuse our sin rather than relying on and living like Christ out of sheer gratitude for what he has done.

It was great getting to know the people on my table a little better. A non-Christian lady who had come along was sitting next to me and I even got to show her how to find things in the Bible, and, hopefully, make her feel comfortable. As well as the teaching, we sang together, played fútbol (Juan Esteban pretended not to hear when it was time for lunch to end), played silly games where we had to pretend to be different animals, and took a big, group photo (that's me towards the bottom on the right). (There are lots of other photos here.)
