Vida Nueva is an extreme 3-day encounter with Christ! You’ll journey with other 15-20-year-olds through the death and resurrection of Jesus to find the true meaning of NEW LIFE in Him. With Jesus as the ideal, you’ll learn how to live a grace-filled, Christian life with confidence.
What is the Purpose of Vida Nueva?
The purpose of the Central Georgia’s Vida Nueva’s chapter is to bring young people to Christ through Christian Apostolic Action. This encompasses the Community’s work in all environments of which its members are a part. The members of the Community isolate many objectives to accomplish this goal. One of these objectives is to develop and sustain young Christian leaders. Critical to the development of young Christian leaders is the three-day Vida Nueva experience, also referred to as the “Weekend”.
Vida Nueva is:
- Spanish for “New Life.”
- A three-day weekend beginning Friday evening and ending Sunday evening.
- Held separately for young men and young women.
- A weekend of living in Christian Community.
- A clear and obvious experience of the work of Christ in the world today.
- A tool of God, not an end in itself.
Vida Nueva is not:
- A revival meeting, but does embody personal witness.
- Group therapy or sensitivity training, but does involve group dynamics.
- A church school, but does employ Christian instruction.
- A church substitute, but does have follow-up activities.
What happens on a Vida Nueva Weekend?
VN begins on Friday evening, and ends on Sunday afternoon, with closing activities beginning around 5:30 P.M. VN presents the basics of Christian life, and the meaning of living the Christian ideal, and its application in our daily lives. VN is centered on lay and clergy talks. Each talk is then discussed in small table groups. The basic atmosphere of VN is one of love, Christian fellowship, singing, laughing, and worship.
