National Youth Ministry Conference

I’ve been busy getting ready for our first ever National Youth Ministry Conference. It will be held November 27-28, 2009, at the Mexican Baptist Theological Seminary.

The event is going to be huge. We have invited more than 12 speakers, there are at least 3 bands coming, and we’re hoping to have an attendance of at least 350.

The theme is “High Voltage,” talking about the power of God for our ministries. I’m hoping it will allow us to both train some youth workers and connect with them.

This event is taking up a lot of our energy. We also start classes this week. It’s a crazy time! But, as always, it’s great!

Here’s the promo video I made for the event:

We took this video at Nathan’s pre-school today. It was the end of the summer session, so they did a demonstration of everything they did all summer. Nathan did not participate in anything while we were there.

It’s gotta be so hard for him since he’s the odd-kid out. He’s the only gringo in the school. He speaks English as his first language.

These are the things you don’t think about when you sign up to be a missionary. I know that eventually he’ll fit in with everyone. I pray that he will grow to love Mexican culture and its people. I pray that he will have a passion to see his little “compaƱeros” know Christ.

But for now, as a parent, it’s hard.
