Hispanic Youth Leaders Learn How
to Disciple the Next Generation
In Hispanic ministries we believe that youth ministry leaders play a crucial role in shaping the spiritual lives of our young people. May 17-18, our Oregon Conference Hispanic & Latino Ministries sponsored RED Jovenes at the Holden Convention Center in Gladstone; an event designed to empower youth leaders to connect better with our young people.
Our leaders play a crucial role in creating safe spaces that foster community and growth for young people. This year’s theme is discipleship. We broke it down to three different phases: Rooted - Planted - Fruitful. Each of these are the themes for our three yearly big events. Jason Calvert, Oregon Conference Youth Ministries director filled the role of keynote speaker and seminar presenter, sharing insights on discipling Gen Z.
What is RED Jovenes? RED is an acronym for Redimir, Entrenar y Discipular (redeem, train, and disciple). This RED event was one of three yearly youth events put together by the Hispanic and Latino ministries. The goal of RED events is to equip leaders and this year, more than 100 youth ministry leaders in attended. Keep reading...
