Hispanic Global Youth Day & OUTREACH
El Día Mundial de la Juventud, se celebró en Wisconsin, el 17 y 18 de marzo en la Escuela Adventista de Milwaukee. El pastor Brayan Maldonado, estudiante de maestría de la Universidad Andrews, presentó temas importantes para la juventud. Además, hubo un rico almuerzo para convivir con todos.
Como es de esperar, el sábado de tarde, la directiva de JAHWI (Jóvenes Adventistas Hispanos de Wisconsin) organizó grupos de Jóvenes para ir a diferentes entidades de bomberos y estaciones de policía para agradecerles por su trabajo en beneficio de la seguridad de la comunidad.
Otros grupos de Jóvenes fueron en autos por las calles para repartir bolsas con cosas necesarias de higiene para las personas sin hogar y orar por ellos.
Debido a las bajas temperaturas algunas actividades de servicio a la comunidad, que estaban planificadas, no pudieron llevarse a cabo.
Por la tarde, después de la actividad de servicio a la comunidad, los jóvenes dieron sus testimonios de su experiencia en las actividades en las que participaron. Llamo la atención la experiencia de un grupo de Jóvenes que les tocó ir a las calles para ministrar a las personas sin hogar. Al principio recorrieron las calles y no encontraban a nadie, debido a la baja temperatura, y después de recorrer varios lugares, uno de ellos dice: “ya vámonos no hay gente”, otro joven sugirió “sigamos buscando” y cuando llegaron a una esquina, encontraron a una señora y al bajar del auto para hablar con ella y darle una bolsa, ella les pidió dinero posiblemente para comprar droga.
Ella también les contó que tenía un familiar enfermo en casa y los Jóvenes ofrecieron orar por ella. En ese momento, la señora empezó a llorar y les expresó su deseo de salir del vicio de las drogas. Ella les pidió a los muchachos llevarlos a su casa para que orasen también por un familiar enfermo. Sin pensarlo dos veces, los jóvenes fueron con ella y oraron en su casa por el familiar que estaba enfermo.
Al finalizar la visita los jóvenes les ofrecieron estudios bíblicos y visitarlos posteriormente a lo cual ellos aceptaron gustosamente.
Los Jóvenes aprendieron una lección importante que, siempre hay que seguir buscando y no darse por vencido hasta encontrar a aquellos que están esperando ser rescatados.
Al final de la programación espiritual, hubo deportes y los Jóvenes se divirtieron mucho y convivieron sanamente.
¡Dios bendiga a los Jóvenes de Wisconsin y les motive a hacer la obra de Dios hasta que Cristo vuelva!
Hispanic Global Youth Day & OUTREACH
English version
The Hispanic Global Youth Day was celebrated in Wisconsin on March 17 and 18, 2023 at the Milwaukee Seventh-day Adventist School. Pastor Brayan Maldonado, a Master of Divinity student at Andrews University, presented important messages for the youth. In addition, everyone enjoyed the delicious lunch together.
As was the plan, on Sabbath afternoon the JAHWI (Hispanic Adventist Youth of Wisconsin) Board organized groups of youth to go to different fire departments and police stations to thank them for their work for the safety of the community.
Other groups of youth drove through the streets to distribute bags with necessary hygiene items for the homeless and to pray for them.
Due to the low temperatures, some community service activities that were planned could not take place.
After the community service activities, the young people shared their experience participating in the activities.
Of special interest was the experience of a particular group of young people who went to the streets to minister to the homeless. At first, they walked the streets and couldn’t find anyone, due to the cold temperature. After going around to several places, one of the youth said, “Let’s go now, there are no needy people on the streets.” Another young man suggested, “Let’s keep looking” and when they reached a corner, they found a woman there. When they got out of the car to talk to her and give her a bag, she asked them for money, possibly to buy drugs. She also told them that she had a sick family member at home.
The group of youth offered to pray for her and at that moment, she began to cry and expressed her desire to get out of the drug habit. She then asked if they would go to her home so they could also pray for her sick family member. Without thinking twice, the young people went with her and prayed at her house for the family member who was sick. At the end of the visit, the young people offered them Bible studies and to visit them later. The woman and her family gladly accepted!
The youth learned an important lesson that day – you always have to keep looking and don’t give up until you find those who are waiting to be rescued.
After the end of the spiritual program, the young people had a lot of fun enjoying sports activities.
I pray that God blesses the Wisconsin Youth and I encourage them to do God’s work until Christ returns!
Pastor Evelio Miranda, Wisconsin Hispanic Ministries Coordinator
