It highlights the purpose of the Center for youth ministry, which is to Recruit, Train, Network, and Support youth workers in Mexico (and Latin America).
The video starts off with “There are many young people in the world.” Then it goes on to talk about the fourfold purpose of the Center for Youth Ministry.

Today the Seminary is having a huge promotion event. There are conferences, sample classes (I’m teaching one), visitation of the dorms, and many other things.
I’ll be broadcasting some of it live below, in case you want to check out what’s happening. It will all be in Spanish, but I’m trying to broadcast live my class that I’ll be teaching at 1 pm (2 pm Eastern).
We’re hoping that this event will allow God to speak to the people who are feeling called to attend Seminary. If you get a chance, please pray for this event today.
Today we experienced our first ever earthquake here in Mexico City. I was sitting at the dining room table, Janell was upstairs working at the desk, and Nathan was out in the back porch swinging on our hammock swing. Ben was sleeping in his crib. Then it happened.
It felt to me like a giant was upstairs jumping up and down. I had never felt anything like it before. It seemed to last for about 15 seconds.
There aren’t earthquakes in Florida, so I wasn’t sure what I had felt. I assumed it was an earthquake. So, I went to twitter to let everyone know what I had experienced. I wasn’t the only one talking about it on there.
It seems there was a 5.7 earthquake near Puebla, which is about 3 hours from here (on a good traffic day). We felt it all the way up here in the northwest part of Mexico City. Of course, our family was all worried about us. About a minute after I wrote about it, Janell’s Dad called because he had seen it on the news, too. We assured him we were okay (although I’m sure he always has his doubts).
We are all fine. Benjamin slept right through it. Nothing fell off the walls or anything like that. We just bounced up and down for a while.
Our family is supported by the generous donations of a team of individuals and churches. We are blessed to have a good team of faithful financial supporters. The reality is that our monthly support has been the same for the last 6 years (even dropping a little), before the arrival of our two children and the rise of ministry expenses and cost of living.
God has always provided for our family. We have no doubt that he will continue providing for us.
For the next few weeks we will be asking you to consider supporting our family and ministry, with the goal of raising another $500 in monthly donations by June 10, 2009.
Each day we will be posting new information about our family and ministry, hoping to help you get a better understand of what we do.
