This congregation has decided to support these two teenagers from the \u00a1Vamos Ya! program, as well as two others, by using their retained 40% of the Pentecost Offering to help get them to the youth conference.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Vamos Ya! is a ministry of Divine Redeemer Presbyterian Church, a Hispanic congregation in San Antonio, Texas. Their mission is to guide at-risk youth within their community to realize their full potential through holistic support and caring relationships. Though these youth have attended John Knox Ranch and other area camps through the program, they have never made the trek to Indiana for the largest youth conference of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A).<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1063\" src=\"https:\/\/www.presbyterianmission.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/PCLT2-375x500.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/centernet.pcusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/PCLT2-375x500.jpeg 375w, https:\/\/centernet.pcusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/PCLT2-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/centernet.pcusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/PCLT2-750x1000.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/centernet.pcusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/PCLT2.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Presbyterian Church of Lake Travis has been supporting \u00a1Vamos Ya! for several years now, and they are excited for this additional opportunity of supporting the faith journeys of these four youth. Though the congregation does not have any young people of its own, they have committed themselves to impacting the lives of young people through their partnership with \u00a1Vamos Ya! as well as other outreach efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Following worship where Eduardo and Kenia spoke about their excitement to attend Presbyterian Youth Triennium, the congregation hosted a lunch for them, followed by a pool party at a members\u2019 house. As generations joined together for fun and fellowship, it was easy to see this relationship is guiding all parties toward a brighter, faith-filled future.<\/p>\n<p><em>This church-wide Pentecost offering supports children at risk, ministries with youth, and Young Adult Volunteers, and 40 percent of the offering stays with local congregations.
