CARP Las Vegas: First Tribe Talk of the Fall 2017 Semester at UNLV

On Thursday, August 31st, CARP Las Vegas held its first Tribe Talk of the semester! It was a joyous and empowering evening. There were people 52 people in total, including 22 who experienced their first Tribe Talk ever. We were especially grateful to welcome Mrs. Sandra Blake Toles and her sister Mrs. Lois Tunstall, who were called by God to be campus ministers at UNLV.

After everyone was introduced, the MC introduced the topic of discussion, which was “How can I be truly happy in my life.” Everyone divided into small groups to discuss the reading and find their own personal answer to that question based on the principle that “true, lasting joy is living a life for the sake of others.” Through discussion and a visualization, participants were encouraged to set goals for themselves. One brother shared his inspiration to live according to his conscience. Another brother shared his determination to live for one week with no regrets.

Everyone enjoyed discussing and bonding with their discussion “families,” and are excited to come back for the next theme. It is going to be a semester of growth and transformation!
