You don’t just teach, you inspire! Happy Teacher

You don’t just teach, you inspire! Happy Teachers Day to all our amazing teachers! 🥳🥳 It is said that a teacher takes a hand, opens a mind and touches a heart, and we believe all our fantastic teachers have done precisely that, as they pour love, kindness, a love of learning and God’s word, day in and day out into all of our students. Cadaniño wouldn’t be the same without each one! We appreciate all that they do for others! #cadaniño #teachersday #teacherscelebration #honorteachers #diadelmaestro #breakfast #teachersbreakfast #cadanino

Yesterday morning our team went to visit the home

Yesterday morning our team went to visit the home of one our students who had an accident and is in recovery. They brought bags of food staples to help the family in this difficulty, as well as took the time to help them repair their door. Our student shared how sad she was to be missing classes during this time. Our team encouraged her and took time to pray for family as she requested. #cadaniño #homevisits #visitingfamily

Then God said, Let us make man in our image, after

Then God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…Genesis 1:26a. Our youth are going through a study of finding their Identity in Christ. The first weeks theme was “Soy Creado” or, “I was Created.” The object was to help our students see the value they have as God’s creations, so that we could help them build an identity based on Biblical principles. Many of our students, having been born into difficult circumstances, struggle with believing that their life has value. We want to help them discover that value and to understand they were created for a purpose, and how they have infinite worth because of who created them. While being created can signify many things, for this class we focused on 3 points; 1) They have purpose. They are not an accident with no value. They are not here on earth just to see what value they can bring to their own lives but rather, we are here to fulfill the purpose that God created us to accomplish. 2)They are created in the image of God. We look like God. We carry the “fingerprint” of God inside us—and this gives us significant value as his creations. 3) They are God’s works of art! As such we have value. When we talk bad about ourselves or others, we are insulting God, since we are his creations. We need to learn to see and respect this intrinsic value that we all carry as his created beings. #cadanino #created #biblestudy #youthgroup #identity #identityinchrist #studythebible #value #cadaniño

Father’s Day event part 2. 🥳 Sunday afternoon

Father’s Day event part 2. 🥳 Sunday afternoon we held our Father’s Day celebration to honor the dads of the students in our San José Pinula center. Pastor Alain Alfonso came and shared a beautiful message, and then we had some fun games and competitions prepared to play with dads. At the end a few dads shared some beautiful words of appreciation at the end, and all went home with specially prepared crafts from their kids, as well as a decorated lunchbox packed with goodies such as pizza, soda, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and some candy. #cadaniño #fathersday #fathersdaycelebration #fathersdaygifts #fathersdaycrafts #fathersdayfun #diadelpadre #comojesús #cadanino #cdl

Our first Fathers Day event was a smashing success

Our first Fathers Day event was a smashing success! Games, prizes, food and a special message for the dads. Our theme was Being like Christ—Imitating Jesus. Alain Alfonso, from the church, Casa de Libertad, came and shared the message which was taken from Luke 2:41-52. While we are imperfect, and will never attain to Jesus’s example, there are some things we as parents can strive towards to be more like Christ. 1. We can aspire to be loving, like God. 2. We can aspire to be wise, like God. 3. We can aspire to be merciful, like God. Other points that was shared was how a relationship with God is learned. Let’s teach our children while they are young to hunger after God.
Also, it is okay to make a mistake—Joseph lost Jesus. But…Yes, there is
some responsibility on us for how they end up (Prov. 22:6)
Yes, we need to correct, train and guide our children—but we also should listen to them. Joseph and Mary listened to Jesus’s explanation when they finally found him in the temple after searching for him for 3 days.
We reminded the dads not put off their search for God, and to seek him as soon as possible, since apart from God we can do nothing. #cadaniño #fathersday #fathersdaycelebration #fathersdayfun #fathersdaymessage #diadelpadre #cadanino
