Since the beginning of 2023 we have seen profound changes in the youth of the High School. Although it has only been a few months since they entered, their spiritual growth has been truly impressive. Although several of the kids come from Christian homes and are involved in their local churches, many of them did not have a relationship with God as they went to church out of habit or just to please their parents. At the beginning of this year, we began to work on inner healing. The focus has been on providing them with tools so that they take authority over their thoughts and emotions, surrendering their lives daily to Christ to heal the wounds of their past and develop healthy behaviors to sustain healthy relationships. And on top of that, they are advancing in their academic studies!
Although we could write many changes, the best are the testimonies of these young people in their own words, we asked them the following question, and these are some of their answers:
How has your life changed since you came to Youth Discipleship?
“Now, in worship, I feel that it is a special and unique time every day, and I enjoy it much more than before. Now each morning I look forward to the time to worship God.” – 16-year-old Chatina from Ixpantepec, State of Oaxaca
“When I arrived at the Base, I was a rude and violent boy, without friends, very fearful, and I didn’t know the Word of God. Now I am a child of God, I have an identity, God revealed his love to me, and I have an intimate relationship with God. During times of inner healing, God freed me and healed me of all pain, sadness, bitterness, crying, and now I live happily.” – 16-year-old from the State of Guerrero.
“Since I was little, I was very disgusted towards my body, and a lot of resentment towards my parents. I felt a lot of rejection from my father for not having been born a boy as he wanted. Now I know that my Father in heaven was looking forward to me and is happy that I was a girl. I forgave my dad and understood that I am a blessing. I forgave many people who hurt me and now I am enjoying a better relationship with my mother. Now I feel that God is with me even when I am praying alone, I feel his love and his help in me.” – 16-year-old from Puerto Escondido, State of Oaxaca
