WHAT HAPPENS ON A WEEKEND?

Vida Nueva begins Friday afternoon and ends the following Sunday evening.

The Vida Nueva team leading the weekend is composed of former attendees of Vida Nueva, Tres Dias, Chysallis or similar youth weekends, who have volunteered their time for weeks of preparation by working and praying together as a unit.

Vida Nueva presents the basics of Christian life and the meaning of living the Christian ideal and its application in our daily lives. Vida Nueva is centered around lay and clergy talks. Each talk is discussed by table groups.

The basic atmosphere of Vida Nueva is one of love, Christian fellowship, singing, laughing and worship.

HOW TO SPONSOR AN ATTENDEE FOR A WEEKEND

If you have attended a Vida Nueva, Chysallis, Tres Dias or Cursillo type weekend you can sponsor someone for a weekend. Applications are available on our web site. Applications will also be available at the Tres Dias Secuelas and the Vida Nueva Gatherings. Please be in prayer as to whom you might sponsor. "There is an appointed time for everything. And a time for every event under heaven." Ecclesiastes 3:1

IS THERE TRAINING PROVIDED FOR THOSE WANTING TO SERVE?

Training will be provided for all who are interested in serving on a weekend. Vida Nueva Tampa Bay Training is required to serve - as our weekends have a special flavor all their own. Therefore even if you have served on a Vida Nueva or Tres Dias weekend before - the training is still the right thing for you.

HOW DO I SIGN UP?

Applications to attend and serve can be sent to you from the address on the back, from anyone who has previously attended this type of event, as well as from our web sight.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND A WEEKEND?

All young men and women, from age 15 to age 20 at the beginning of the weekend, who are seeking a deeper and more meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ, are welcome to attend a Vida Nueva weekend. There are separate weekends held for young men and young women. Each attendee must be sponsored by someone who has previously attended a Vida Nueva, Tres Dias or Cursillo type weekend.

 

THE FOURTH DAY

One’s life after Vida Nueva is called the Fourth Day. Following Vida Nueva, a person is able to expand his/her own spiritual life and become a more active disciple of Jesus Christ in the world, in the Church and in their school. During this time, encouragement is important and is provided through contact with the Vida Nueva community. Reunions of smaller groups within local churches and schools are encouraged so that the participants may help one another in living the Christian life.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER VIDA NUEVA?

Something unique to the Tampa Bay Community is the follow-up leadership conference. All those attending Vida Nueva will be able to have the opportunity to be strengthened in their 4th day. Special conferences designed to meet the needs of young Christian leaders will be available.

HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED?

Serving on a Young Men’s or Young Women’s weekend. Anyone who has been to a Vida Nueva, Tres Dias, Cursillo, Emmaus or similar weekend is eligible to serve on Vida Nueva Weekends.

CAN I BE INVOLVED WITHOUT SERVING ON A WEEKEND?

There are several opportunities for you to be involved without serving on the weekend:
