Lifeteen.com said: “For 2008 - we are working on two Spanish resources. The first is a revised Core handbook in Spanish. It covers the basics of youth ministry as well as how a Core member is called to serve. We should have that ready by April. The second is a book of 20+ Life Nights in Spanish. This book will give a good overview of the types of nights and topics that Life Teen offers. This resource will not be ready until fall of 2008.”
