The Nicaragua Central District held a pastors’ kids retreat themed “Chosen By God” 3-4 November at the Skylark Retreat Center. A total of 70 people between the ages of 5 and 35 attended, including children, youth, and adults.

District Superintendent Maria Antonia Ponce organized the event, Paulino Munoz was the retreat speaker, Aydalina Maraga was the workshops teacher, and Juan Jose Picado led games.

Ponce led a powerful time of prayer over the participants, Medary Jaime personally mentored children between the ages of 5 and 12, and there were two altar calls where at least 18 youth renewed their commitments to God and their parents.

“It was a blessed time, and the youth expressed their gratefulness to God, the church, and the donors,” Ponce said.
