www.ministeriojuvenil.com: The website for the seminary program is finally up and running! It has been a lot of work, but it looks pretty good. We’ll be tweaking it in the next week, but we are happy with it. It gives all kinds of details about the youth ministry major at the Mexican Baptist Theological Seminary. We are also working on an English version of the website, so keep checking back for it.
National Baptist Convention: We just got back from a few days in the city of Pachuca, Hidalgo. We were there for the meetings of the Mexican National Baptist Convention. It was a lot of businees meetings, where an important decision was to be made regarding the two seminaries here in Mexico. They were going to combine the two, but decided to wait 2 more years to decide. So, we continue with the plans for the Center for Youth Ministry here at the Lomas Verdes campus with the desire to provide formal youth ministry training for those called to be youth pastors and youth workers. Please pray for us in the next few weeks as we continue to prepare for the first class that starts on August 16.
Goodbye: Tonight at the church we had a good-bye cookout for the group from Cornerstone. They came to Mexico to share their lives with the people of Dios Es Amor Baptist Church. It was a great time, as always. They shared the gospel with hundreds of people through passing out literature at the two mission churches; conducted youth group meetings in the homes of the young people of the church; painted the playground at the seminary in Lomas Verdes; and were a blessing to all who they met. I know they were an encouragement to us and to all who are here in Mexico. Thanks for coming, guys! We’ll miss you.
Tepeji (click if you know Spanish):We worked at another mission church today in the state of Hidalgo. It was cool because the pastor used to be the youth pastor at Dios Es Amor in La Quebrada, the church that the group from Cornerstone always works with. We went around handing out invitations to the church and prayer walking the area around the church. Then we went to various houses to eat lunch and fellowship with the families from the church. I got to go to the pastor’s house. We had a great time together talking about what God is doing in our lives.
Below are some various pictures from today and yesterday with the group. Click on one to enlarge it. Thanks for praying for us.
