Due Date

Today is the due date for the work for the Master’s class I taught in March. I thought that the Master’s level students would be better at turning the work in on time, but I guess not. I’ve received work from 2 of the students. I got a call from one of them yesterday asking me if they could have more time. It’s crazy.

They went to Cancun…

140_5620and brought us all t-shirts. I thought that was pretty cool. Oscar and Huberto brought all the youth ministry students (and me) t-shirts from their trip to Cancun. How cool is that? I can feel the group really starting to click. Funny what shared vision will do for your relationships.

Check out the flickr set of photos from their trip.

Cancun conference

140_5789I spent a few hours at Starbucks last night talking with Huberto and Oscar. They had just gotten back from doing a youth ministry philosophy conference in Cancun. I couldn’t go because the group was here, but I think that might have been a good thing.

They came back energized and encouraged about what we are doing in Mexico. Overall, it was a great experience for them to have the chance to teach a Biblical philosophy of youth ministry to various churches, promote the seminary program, and have some fun while doing it. The vision for youth ministry training is even clearer for them now that they have experienced it. I’m excited to see multiplication happening.

Non-existent posting

I haven’t been posting much because I’ve been busy with Videoblogging week and working on the new Center for Youth Ministry website. It’s not exactly finished yet, but you can check it out here. I think it’s coming along pretty well.

Today, I worked with Oscar and Huberto to finish up some things for the workshop they’ll be giving next week in Cancun. I still have some things to do for it, but it’s coming along as well.

Youth Ministry training this weekend


This weekend, I will be busy in Puebla with a youth ministry conference by Especialidades Juveniles, the Spanish branch of Youth Specialties.

I’ll be going to the airport on Friday with some youth ministry students to pick up Lucas Leys, the conference speaker. Then we’ll be off to Puebla for the all day training on Saturday. We almost had a problem with the university that we’re having the event at, but all is well now. I am looking forward to being indirectly involved with this youth ministry training event.
