Walk of Christ
Walk of Christ
Camino de Cristo ( CC ) is a weekend for teens. This youth ministry helps our young people grow into Christian Leaders and address the problems their communities are faced with. Camino de Cristo is Spanish for “Walk of Christ”, which reflects their new life in Christ. It encourages teenagers to live committed to Jesus Christ, using the tools provided to become servant leaders in their circle of influence. Such as home, school, work and Church. The weekend contains a series of talks given by a volunteer team of youth, clergy and adults. Young men and women ages 15 to 20 are prayerfully encouraged to attend. After the weekend there are follow-up activities, but is not a church substitute.
How did we get where we are today? The journey to create Central Texas Camino de Cristo began in the Fall of 2018. Joyce & I had sponsored 1 of our grandsons through the East Texas Vida Nueva community and another one through South East Texas Vida Nueva, now known as Southeast Texas Pescadors. God worked mightily in their lives on those 2 weekends and the Lord put in me a burden for the youth of Central Texas to have this same opportunity to encounter Him in new ways through this ministry.
Our work began immediately to get the ball rolling, but then covid struck and delayed our start. The newly formed Board of Directors continued with the endeavor despite dealing with the chaos that surrounded us. This was a true testing of our faith.
But now we can say for sure that all the hard work, 2 starts and 2 stops, was well worth the wait. God had positioned us to experience the joy and the fruit of our labor in the beginning of 2023 to share with our youth of Central Texas Camino de Cristo, the first set of weekends.
This was made possible in part with our sponsoring community Southeast Texas Pescadors. That partnership has grown and continues to this day. We love them and continue working together as we grow God’s Kingdom.
As we have just completed our third set of weekends in the Spring of 2025, I ask that you join me in praying for continued funding resources, adults and youth who are passionate about serving, and youth who are excited to attend upcoming weekends with hearts and minds ready to receive from the Lord!
We continue to thank our monthly and quarterly sponsors who have stood by us to nurture the youth of Central Texas Hill Country. The momentum that you spark is growing more & more. It truly takes a village to raise our youth in a proper and fulfilling environment.
Proverbs 22:6 (NIV) Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
Blessings and gratitude to all,
Alan LaBounty – President of CTxCC
Our goal at CTxCC is to educate and develop young men and women in becoming Christian servant leaders. Allowing them to influence others in their communities to learn about and follow in the ways of Jesus Christ.
