An Interview with Boyce College for Youth Emphasis Week
I had a quick Skype interview last Monday with some youth ministry students and youth pastors for Boyce College’s Youth Emphasis Week. We talked mostly about Youth Evangelism in Mexico.
Another BIG announcement
Growth is going to be a key word for us this year. Our family is growing. You read that right. Janell is pregnant! Our third little Poulette is due in September. We are so excited to see our family grow.
Here’s the ultrasound picture.
So, what do you think? Will it be a boy or a girl?
Our New House
Back in October, we were informed that we would have to move from our house that we are currently living in. We began praying (and asked you to pray with us) for a new place to live that had both a good location and price. The houses in our area of town rent for more than 1200 dollars a month, so we knew this was not going to be an easy thing.
After talking with the Seminary administration, they decided to allow us to live in a vacant house on campus. What a blessing!!! It has been used in the past as a guest house, and many groups who have come to help us have stayed there. Other than being a guest house, though, it hasn’t really been used in the last 6 years.
Needless to say, there is some fixing up to do, and we could really use your help to fix up the house.
We need to put in new cabinets and a new stove in the kitchen, a bathtub for the boys’ bathroom, a new covering for the laundry room, and a wall to protect the boys from falling through the stairs. Watch the video below to see what we’re talking about and get a tour of our new house.
The need to fix the house is urgent, as we would like to move in by the middle of March. We are estimating that we will need around $3,000 dollars to be able to fix the things we need to fix to move into the house.
We have set up a special account with Youth Ministry International, where you can send a check with a note marked “Poulette housing fund.” The faster we can raise the money, the faster we can begin fixing up the house.
The address for Youth Ministry International is:
1300 Envoy Cir.
Suite 1306
Louisville, KY 40299

Mexico and the Super Bowl
They played the Super Bowl today in Miami (what’s up with the new name of the stadium?), and in Mexico City, we realized that the Super Bowl is becoming more and more popular. There were lots of restaurants that had parties, and even the movie theaters were cashing in on the game by showing it on their big screens.
We went to a Super Bowl party at our church. They had an “NFL Experience” type thing where they invited people to come and do different “American football” drills, competitions, and then watched the game.
We watched the game at home after hanging out a little. We watched it on our slingbox, which allowed us to watch the game and the American commercials.
American football is growing in popularity in Mexico. The NFL has done a lot to promote the game here, and of course the fact that Mark Sanchez is the starting quarterback for the Jets helps the NFL’s cause.
A while ago the Saints cheerleaders were in a local mall promoting the game in Mexico. We took a quick little video.
The NFL likes to try to promote in Mexico City on 12seconds.tv
