Who do you know?

Hello YATOLers!

We need your help! YATOL is hosting an Infomation Meeting and we're wondering if you know anyong who is seeking something more? Seeking a spiritual path through the world? Drawn to Jesus Christ? A young adult? Willing to explore? If so, we're asking you to pass along this information.

The YATOL Information Meeting is a time that you can familiarize yourself with the YATOL Movement (it's origin, how it came to the USA, practices, etc.), hear Young Adult testimonies in how YATOL has blessed their lives, and ask questions. It's also a wonderful chance to meet YATOL members and couples in a casual setting. There is absolutely no pressure, we're just happy to spread the word and share our movement with you.

When: This Friday, September 16, 2011
Where: David & Elizabeth Costa's Home - (Please email us for the address)

Time: 6:45pm (Appetizers and light refreshments will be be provided)

Please let us know if you know anyone who might be interested or feel free to come and bring a friend. 

If you have any questions, about the meeting, need directions, etc... Feel free to email us at yatolus@gmail.com.

Have a wonderful week and thanks for your help!
