Coming pronto: Hey! We have been really busy lately. Yesterday, we were in Toluca with our friends Tim and Annette, fellowshipping and talking about youth ministry. Last week we were in Morelos for a youth camp. Click here for the pictures.
Baptist Youth Conference: We had the opportunity to go to the Baptist Youth Conference in Cuernavaca last week. It was a great time of networking and fun as we met with many key people both from Mexico and Latin America. We now have a much greater understanding of what youth work is taking place in the Baptist denomination in Mexico. It was great to meet with people from all over Mexico and learn what is happening in their youth ministries and how we can assist in the development of those ministries. This week, we go back to the state of Morelos for a youth camp where Dennis will be speaking. Please pray for us during this time. Thanks!
Conference: The conference is over at Little Flock. We are still in Kentucky, but we leave tomorrow. We had a great time of fellowship with the people here, but are looking forward to going back to Mexico City tomorrow. We have a lot of work to do, and we are refreshed and ready to work hard to prepare the youth ministry program in the seminary. The leadership of YMI have helped us a lot this week, and we are excited to see all that God is going to do in youth ministry in Mexico in the next few weeks! Please pray for us as we travel back tomorrow. Thanks.
Greg Pas: I just found out last night that a friend and fellow youth worker in Palm Harbor/Clearwater went to be with the Lord earlier this month. He was 39. It saddens me to lose a guy like Greg, and I am shocked by it. Please pray for his family and the students he impacted as they continue to deal with this unexpected tragedy.
Global Impact: We are in Kentucky, participating in the Global Impact Conference at Little Flock Baptist Church. We are staying with a great family and really being encouraged by the congregation. Today we spoke at the Christian school here to the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 7th grade students. Then we drove over to Boyce College and spoke in a youth ministry class there and had lunch with some of the YMI leadership. We discussed the Center for Youth Ministry in Mexico City, talking about curriculum for the formal branch that will take begin at the seminary in August. Tonight, we spoke at the Linear worship service at the church. We have met a lot of cool people today and have been encouraged. Hopefully, too, we have encouraged some people ourselves. Tomorrow is another busy day.
