Tomorrow, I’m leaving for a quick trip to Honduras. I’m going to be investigating what’s happening there as far as youth ministry is concerned, and I’ll be looking for future opportunities to work in that country.
One of my long term goals is to have contacts in each country in Latin America, so I’m going with my friend who was a missionary there, and I’m hoping to get to connect with some new people down there. I’ll be back on Wednesday. I’ll be posting from there, so keep up with the trip here.
The last few days, I’ve been working pretty hard on a new design for our Spanish youth ministry website, ministeriojuvenil.com.
I haven’t dedicated as much time to it as I would like, but it is a part of our ministry that has an impact all over the world. For example:
- People from 28 different countries visited the site last month.
- 21 of those countries are in Latin America (that makes sense, it’s a Spanish website)
- The average visitor visits more than 3 pages when they visit, meaning they are reading more than just the home page. They are getting into the articles.
- The social network for youth workers has 67 members signed up, creating a space for youth workers to interact with each other and support each other.
I’m looking forward to seeing this part of the ministry grow as our ministry grows. Keep praying for us as we train youth workers in Latin America.
I’ve been working a lot on a new look for our Spanish website (ministeriojuvenil.com), and I could really use help with content.
If you would like to contribute to training youth workers in Latin America, and you have experience in youth ministry, I’d love for you to write an article on youth ministry for the site. I’ll have it translated, we’ll post it, and we’ll even include a link to your blog or website.
If you’re interested, please leave a comment here, and I’ll get back to you. Of course, I reserve the right to decide what content gets put on the site.
This is an opportunity for you to be a global youth worker. Don’t miss out!
Check out this collection of 1950’s Cuban Advertisements.
It’s a great collection of art from the pre-revolution era, which shows ads for rum, department stores, movies, and other things. It’s worth checking out.

The Seminary students like to spend their down time playing soccer. Today was the championship between the freshman and sophomores and the juniors. The seniors were all studying for finals, I think.
