of you and what I want to see

is for each youth to just get on

fire for God.

If there is something lacking in

our Youth Department; what

do you think it is?

If there is something lacking

then it is because somebody

has not been able to over-

come things in their lives. I

think that you can overcome

these things through unity,

prayer, fasting, obeying your

authorities, & serving God

with all your heart.

What things do you feel the

youth can do to get closer to

one another as well as God?

Unity is the key to success. We

need to pray for those who

are not in unity with the group

and create a circle of trust so

that you all will be able to

serve God with all your might.

What did the youth do in

2010 that impressed you the

most; or that you feel made the

biggest impact?

Yes, 2010 was a success. But

there was a time in 2010 that

we experienced so many prob-

lems & trials & it felt like the ship

was sinking. And what im-

pressed me the most was that

the youth pastor, along with

you young people never gave

up. You called on God and be-

cause of your faith & persever-

ance, the ship is sailing again.

What is the most important

piece of advice that you can give

the young people?

Serve God. & by the end of 2011

I want to see every young per-

son working in a ministry in the

church.

Lastly, what do you think of our

Newsletter?!

I’m excited! People need to

know what’s going on in

Church so don’t stop!

We had the privilege of sitting down with Pastor Ruben Bernal for an interview & were blown away by the insight of the man of God. Read on……

Pastor, there is no doubt that

2010 was a year full of vision;

some realized, & some in the

waiting.. What is your vision

for 2011?

My Vision for 2011 is to con-

tinue where we left in 2010

but with an even greater

movement of God. I believe

the Church is ready to move

forward and even more so

than we were at the begin-

ning of 2010.

What do you expect of the

youth this year?

The Youth are a very special

group to me. Any Church

needs a fired up youth group. I

am so proud of our youth be-

cause now you are ready to

move forward. I can see the

motivation that is in each one

Pastors Interview

BREAKING NEWS: Whaaaattt!?? There’s a DOOR-KNOB on the door from Pastors office leading

into the Sanctuary now!!

“Encouragement is

the oxygen of the

soul.” –John Maxwell.

“I see this Youth group growing into the Generation we were called to be. A

generation that will rise above any trial or transgression to obtain revelation and

prosperity”. –Elizabeth Alcazar

“A GOOD Leader is a Servant who leads, and not a leader who serves..” - Apostolic Brother

The Daniel Fast is a 21 day fast in

which you can’t have any animal

products at all (meat & dairy) and

everything you eat must be all

natural. (Fruits & Veggies =]) No

sweets, or bread. Only whole

wheat products with no preserva-

tives.

.” . . is a powerful spiritual experience

to help followers of Jesus Christ de-

velop a more intimate relationship

with their Lord, seek answers to

prayer, and grow in the love and

knowledge of the Savior. “

"In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three

full weeks. I ate no pleasant food, no meat or

wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint

myself at all, till three whole weeks were ful-

filled."

Daniel 10:2, 3

FASTING A lot of us may have been a little shocked to hear that

we were about to take part in a 7 week fast!! Maybe

some of us did not even know what a “fast” is.. A fast is

depriving your self of a specific something (usually

food) in an effort to draw closer to God. During a fast,

you will find that you are extremely sensitive to the

Holy Spirit. Our sacred sacrifice is why we have seen

such an outpouring of Gods blessings in our youth

group lately. Keep it up!

BOOK RECOMMENDATION. “Fasting” by Jentezen

Franklin is an awesome book to read. This book will open

your eyes to fasting and the many benefits both spiritually &

physically that come along with it. Pick one up at your local

Christian store!

To draw closer to God

To receive revelation

So God will answer a prayer or guide us to

fulfill a need..

Why we fast…..

FUNDRAISING -With all the events we have coming up, it is crucial that we kick fundraising into HIGH GEAR so that we are able to finance ourselves through everything we want to do! ..Thank you to all those who sold Super Sub tickets! - You made this fundraiser a success.

*** Encourage the men to donate any tie that they do not use to the youth Dept. We

will have a tie– sale coming up with everything that gets donated—Just in time for

fathers day! ***
