The Underground

"The Underground" is a weekly outreach event for youth in the area. It is led by Paul & Fiona Coles along with the ministry staff of Livada. Each week between 50-60 teenagers and young adults gather in the basement of a local church to play games, hear about the Lord and be poured into by this staff that loves them and meets them where they are.



Each week there is a contest of some kind that is guys vs. girls. This week was a gross one, but they loved it! They goal was to get all the chocolate off of your side of the plastic first!



This week there was an extra special treat for these teens and young adults, most of which are orphans and come to school in town and live in dorms or are working and living in night shelters, they each received shampoo and body wash from the Christ Fellowship team as they left. It may not seem like something that American teens would appreciate, but for these kids it was a blessing!


Please pray for these young people to continue to come to this safe place where they find love, fun, acceptance and the truth. Pray that the truth of Christ would penetrate the tough armor that many of them wear from years of abandonment, abuse and shattered hearts.
