After last week’s whirlwind trip (I’ll write more about that later), we finally got around to turning in an overdue report to Youth Ministry International for the first quarter of 2010, which gives an overview of our ministry activity.

Here are some of the things that were accomplished in the first quarter of 2010, either by our family or a part of our YMI team in Latin America:

• Met with a pastor in Cuernavaca about youth ministry training in his city, taught his youth group, and preached in his church (watch the video)
• Taught an evangelism conference to a youth group in Toluca, Mexico
• Participated in 2 city-wide youth leaders conferences in downtown Mexico City
• Preached at a local church youth camp for Spring Break
• We’ve published 38 articles on
• Received over 4800 visits and more than 11,000 pageviews on our ministry website. We receive emails from people all over Latin America asking for training because of the articles, resources, etc, that we put on the site.
• Participated in a regional youth leaders conference in Cuba, teaching 2 training sessions and preaching in the opening service
• Taught Contemporary Communication at the Bachelor’s level in Mexico
• Taught Professional Orientation to Youth Ministry at the Bachelor’s level in Mexico
• Taught Contemporary Communication at the Diploma level in Mexico
• Taught Troubled Youth class at the Diploma level in Mexico
• Taught a mentoring class in a local church (based on material used in Youth Discipleship)
• Taught an informal YM philosophy workshop in Sonora at a regional camp
• Taught an informal YM workshop in Toluca to youth leaders

We are excited to be a part of what God is doing in Latin America. Who knows what the next quarter holds!!!
