Me and Oscar at graduation
Oscar is the youth ministry graduate this year.
Youth Ministry graduates in Cuba 2009
I feel like a grandfather, almost. The students we trained in the Cuba project who graduated last June have seen their first generation of students graduate from the Seminary in Havana.
It’s exciting to see how the ministry is multiplying. Here are some pictures from their graduation. Click one to see a larger version and a description.

Here are some more posts that have to do with the program in Cuba:

Youth Ministry Training in Mexico
In case you ever wondered what I really do all day, I thought I’d post a video of one of my workshops from our Seminary event we had in May. Like I’ve said before, it was packed, and I gave the exact same training session two times, talking about the need for youth ministry training.
Youth Ministry Seminar
This past Saturday, the Seminary had a big publicity event. My participation in the event was to help the youth ministry students with our information booth, teach a youth ministry seminar, and organize a skit for one of the worship times. The event was a huge success.
There were more than 300 people at the event (which was our attendance goal), and during the two seminar times, my youth ministry workshop was packed. I spoke about the goal of youth ministry to more than 100 prospective students. We handed out fliers and collected names at our booth. I even ran out of business cards.
There is a great thirst for youth ministry training in Latin America. I believe that we are living in a time where youth ministry training is about to explode both in Mexico and other places in the world. It is humbling and exciting to be a part of what God is doing.

The Center for Youth Ministry in Mexico
Here’s a quick video I put together for Saturday’s event at the Seminary.
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.

Seminary Event LIVE today
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.
