The Assembly



By Dan Muthui & Miriam Mahaffy 
 
The title of this blogs is informed by the theme of an assembly we are attending in Honduras in August that is organised by Christian Reformed Church of North America (CRCNA) which will bring together regional young leaders, missionaries, and representatives from partner organizations and churches in Latin America to explore the subject of social breakdown, youth involvement in violence, crime, and other harmful behaviours, and engage participants in sharing about creative responses that are being carried out in their jurisdictions as well as conceive and birth other redemptive actions that the youth can take to tackle the challenges facing them.

The gathering presents a valuable opportunity for cross cultural exchange as representatives from North America engage in rich dialogue with their counterparts in Latin America. We have created this blog in order to share our reflections on the subject as well as invite friends and strangers alike in the conversation. Our hope is to move the insights gained from the gathering into our communities and to involve our communities in responding redemptively to the plight of the youth.
