In October, SENDAS had the opportunity to sign two agreements involving the Youth Ministry program. The first of the two agreements is in collaboration with the Regional NYI, whose President and Coordinator is Rev. Milton Gay.
The agreement allows SENDAS and NYI to work together through the expansion of the specialty courses in Youth Ministry in the Educational Centers, beginning with the CA-4 Area (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua). It is the hope that very soon the other areas of the Mesoamerica Region will be included.
All the educational centers that participate in this agreement will receive a total of 14 courses at the university level, endorsed by SENDAS, so as to complete the Certificate in Youth Ministry. Those students who desire to continue with the Bachelor degree in Youth Ministry and who complete the requirements for registration will need to take 30 additional courses with SENDAS, in any manner offered (online, videoconference, or in an educational center) to receive the degree.
The second agreement gives accessibility to all the districts in Mexico that would like to take online courses in the Bachelor of Youth Ministry degree. SENDAS has designed, with the help of Joshua Villatoro (NYI Coordinator for the Mexico South Area) and Fabiola Sanchez (NYI Coordinator for the Mexico North Area), a system of discounts for the districts that have a large number of students. In this way, SENDAS and the districts will work together to make the Youth Ministry program more accessible so as to reach all those with a call in this area.
Andres Fernandez comments, “As the Coordinator of Specialties in the Bachelor program, it is a pleasure to present these two agreements for the expansion of our Youth Pastor program in the Mesoamerica Region. We are so happy with what God is doing in the Region and we trust that all this will coincide with the vision of SENDAS: “To train the largest number of ministers possible, with the highest level of excellence possible, for the extension of the Kingdom of God.”
“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”
