Latest
Conferences
Our
latest 2 conferences went well. At a Covenant Church congress
we had 85 people from Mexico and other Latin American countries
who chose our workshop entitled "Youth Ministry: the key to
reaching your country". The second one was a 3 day deal in
a city desert city called San Luis Potosi. The feedback we
got was good, but apparently the organizers didn't believe
in breaks and after 40 hours of non-air conditioned conference,
I had sweated through all my shirts and my suit coat actually
had salt deposits forming in a circle around my underarm.

Ocana
Family Update
Remember
how I told you that after our friend Mr. Ocana died, we didn't
know if his son, Moises, would be able to continue to go to
school because of lack of finances? Well, in another show
of God's ability to do much more than we even expect, some
Christian friends who own a polling firm agreed to hire Moises.
And not only is he able to earn some money to support his
family which really boosts his sense of self worth, but our
friends are training him how to use the computer... the very
thing he has always wanted to study! It's really obvious that
God is working in the life of this family. If you think of
it please pray them and for our relationship with them.

What
you just read (all translated) is feedback we've received about
our youth leaders web site. And these are only 3 of 25 letters
we got in the last 10 days. I can't tell you how encouraging it's
been to hear positive feedback from all over Latin America (even
one from Sweden and Korea... in Spanish!). And that last note
- requesting resources on how to use the arts in youth ministry
- was like a gift from God because 3 days before we'd just added
a "Arts & Worship" column to our site.
