This weekend we were blessed to travel to Wiesbaden, Germany with SENT Ministries!
SENT (Student Evangelization Networking Teams) Ministries is an outreach ministry at Franciscan University of college students who plan and run retreats for middle school and high school youth - primarily on the East coast - but now also throughout Europe!
Brian and I (and Isaac) got to tag a long and see 7 amazing Franciscan students in action. 45 American youth from several military bases in Germany and Belgium attended the retreat in Wiesbaden. While we drove 7 hours west for this retreat, another group of our study abroad students traveled 7 hours south to Vicenza for a SENT retreat there. It's amazing to witness these college students "giving up" their travel weekends to bring the light of Christ to others! We are so happy to be a part of this growing ministry in Europe!
Highlights from Wiesbaden included:
Mass & Confession with Jesus Christ :)
Friday night Adoration with Bishop Richard Spencer, Chaplain (Colonel, USA Ret) Archdiocese for Military USA
College students' talks and testimonies around the chosen theme "Rooted"
Small group discussions led by the college students
A lot of funny skits - one featuring my husband (wearing the wig) and our baby Isaac
Lots of new friends for Isaac :)
It was such a blessing to watch the Franciscan students in action - spreading the Good News of Rooting our hope in Jesus Christ no matter where life takes us!
A huge thank you to all of our wonderful hosts in Wiesbaden - and to all of those who gave their time, energy, and talents in making this retreat possible!
