TEMPLO SINAI YOUTH MINISTRY 2

Templo Sinai Youth Ministry (TSYM) is a religious organization and its mission is to

provide the youth with more knowledge on how to deal with life situations through a more

positive and scripture based lesson and to strengthen their relationship with God. Senior Pastor

Rev. Jose Gonzalez of TSYM reported that the youth dynamic varies in ages and those that

currently attend have been attending with their families for the past few years and to better

accommodate the families the services, conferences and group meeting are held bilingual

(personal communication, September 10, 2015). The youth ministry consists of youth ages that

range from 13 to 25 years old. Most of the youth that join the TSYM are of Latina descent,

primarily being first generation born in the Unites States. Some of our youth that congregate

come from low income family homes. The median household income, in Bridgeport CT is

$41,050 and for the state of Connecticut is $69,461 (United States Census Bureau, 2013). The

following table is information that was gathered within the TSYM.

*Percentage of active youth members that is dependent on the parents’ salary, except for 9%.

The information that was gathered shows evidence that half of the families within TSYM are

below the household income and the other half is above.

Templo Sinai Youth Ministry (TSYM) was first founded in 1997 and was a small church

with a few members. Nathaniel Torres, founder of Templo Sinai, reported that the church

accounted with 5 families which majority of these families had 5 children/youth within each unit


(personal communication, September 20, 2015). This is where the organization began with a

few youth that were seeking guidance and desire to learn the Bible and build a relationship with

God. Most of the youth at first did not have the technology or access to any form of technology

during conferences or at their homes. TSYM continued to explore different ways to present the

scripture by purchasing Bibles and other essential items necessary to present a curriculum to the

youth.

As technology increases in our surrounding, the youth will be exposed to these devices

and have more insight. No longer shackled to books as their only source of content, educators

and students are going online to find reliable, valuable, and up-to-the-minute information

(Barseghian, 2011). We have used blending formal and informal learning as one of the

technologies being implemented within TSYM (2015, Horizon). The organization had purchased

a projector and computer to help facilitate more visual features. During meetings/conferences we

use a variety of software (PowerPoint, Publisher, and YouTube, Social media) to show the youth

visual context to understanding the topic being discussed. Rev. Gonzalez reported that the use of

the projector while conducting a conference helped the youth keep on track and interested of the

information that was being presented (personal communication, September 10, 2015). New

Media Consortium mentioned that many experts believe that a blending of formal and informal

methods of teaching and learning can create a higher education environment that fosters

experimentation, curiosity, and above all, creativity (Horizon, 2015)

Almost all of the youth that congregate with TSYM have smartphones and/or laptops to access

information for discussion times. The result from these changes and the way it has manipulated

technology has helped tremendously. There has been a positive change, in which the youth are

being more challenged to return with more conversations material.

As we continue to serve our youth we have expanded TSYM to outside youth of local

areas that have not established a religious connection. For the past year, Mrs. Idalis Montero

youth counselor reported that a monthly girl’s teen challenge meeting was created to build upon

the youth ministry (personal communication, September 15, 2015). Once a month the girls group

bring in a friend that has never participated within the organization and is introduced to the

program (I. Montero personal communication, September 15, 2015). Incorporating these

monthly groups, helps the youth use more communication skills and share the information they

learned to others that are interested.

Another technology implemented within the TSYM is the flipped classroom environment

(Horizon, 2015). The way we use the flipped classroom is to use certain context and have the

youth go out and research the topic and return with enough interested points to have a discussion.

The flipped teaching model centers around four basic themes: flexible environments, a shift in

the culture of learning, intentional content and professional educators (Hoffman, 2013). TSYM

continues to push the youth in the use of the technology they have on hand. It is intended that the

youth explore all aspects of research and for them not to limit themselves in returning to have

more dialogue during small group discussions. During these meeting there is main topic

discussed where the youth can use their smartphones to find more materials to share and spark


more conversation. Recently the TSYM has increased their number of youth girls during their

teen challenge meetings.

The mission of Templo Sinai Youth Ministry (TSYM) continues to provide a positive

environment for the youth of the city and a place to learn about the scriptures (Bible) and make

connections to their daily life (Rev. Gonzalez, personal communication, September 10, 2015).

TSYM vision is to eventually open a Christian based school and incorporate academic and

spiritual base classrooms to provide a solid foundation for the youth to continue into higher

education in a positive manner (I. Montero, personal communication, September 15, 2015).

According to Jillian Darwish (2012), if we do not effectively engage in ongoing

education recombination, we risk letting the disruptions of the coming decade perpetuate

inequities for learners, undermine the learning ecosystem’s capacity to adapt, and narrow

the impact of education innovations by keeping them largely uncoordinated,

opportunistic, and fragmented (pg3).

The way one learns about different topics has revolutionized throughout the ages and continues

to advance in all educational aspects. With educational advances comes the responsibility of

teachers to maintain the students interest level at its high point so that learning is an on-going

satisfaction for those in the classroom setting.

With the increase of technology within a school system, futuring is a technique that most

institutions should be aware of. Futuring is the act, art, or science of identifying and evaluating

possible future events (World Future Society n.d). Futuring is an anticipatory decision-making

process that leads to planning and program development (Sobrero, 2004). The students depend

on future advances in technology and their own personal capabilities to learn; but more


importantly how the professionals are teaching is another aspect that must be taken into

consideration when moving forward. When analyzing for the future, the past has great

importance when trying to change the world from its old ways. Just like history books – we learn

from the past to make a better future for our children. If you have the courage and ambition to

change yesterday's logic, take a look at the steps needed to adopt anticipatory techniques for

Extension (Sobrero, 2004).

The World Future Society defines a scenario as a description of a sequence of events that

might possibly occur in the future. When envisioning the future of education in a classroom

model, technology based and hands on activity environment should be looked at. A wide variety

of digital networks, platforms, and content resources will help learners and learning agents

connect and learn (Recombinant, 2012). Scenarios are useful because they give us distance from

the present, open up the future and allow the creation of alternative futures (Mietzner, & Reger

2005, pg 223). Scenarios can be used to obtain a number of different ends: Scenarios are

internally coherent pictures of possible futures (Mietzer and Reger, 2005, p.223). Steering the

vision of learning into a classroom based on technology and hands on activities would support

various ways learners learn.

To support and nurture each student’s capability to learn will lead to better understanding

the material that is being provided, and therefore more activities would need to take place so that

each student can fully take advantage of the learning experiences throughout their learning years

as technology progresses. Incorporating more hands on activities in small groups provides

students to interact with one another in a more engaging manner that stimulate more brain

activity, and therefore learning becomes enjoyable. All children learn at a different rate; so to

implement learning to enhance their understanding will make for a more positive outcome. "The


more parts of your brain you use, the more likely you are to retain information," (Dodge, 2009).

Hands on activities and technology will assist the student to adapt to changes and grasp multiple

ways of learning.

Table 3: Pros & Cons of Technology in a Classroom

World Future Society defines scanning as an ongoing effort to identify significant changes in the

world beyond the organization or group doing the scanning. Scanning the environment includes

both observational and research-based data (Sobrero, 2004).

As technology advances, so should the creativity of the material being presented to the

students; and this is where the teachers play an important role. Teachers should make it

enjoyable to learn new things. Students develop understanding by applying what they learn in

diverse ways and multiple settings (Stark, 2013). Not only should teachers worry about the

curriculum they offer, but they should take an importance to the atmosphere and environment

settings that their classroom has to offer. Organization and set up can be the key to a student, no

matter the age, wanting to go to school and learn or stay home and watch television. Studying the

classroom as a whole, but in particularly in small group activities will be another important

observation.

Technology, the curriculum, the teachers and environment are all important factors that

are consistently changing in the overall education of a student and could be observed by outside

PROS

sources. These observations that are noted in and out of the classrooms are than reported as a

total conclusion on how the individual student is learning. Students will validate what they have

learned and that can be seen in the outside environment. This is shown through verbal

communication, interaction with others, and life skills.

"When students explain and demonstrate skills to each other," says Sheldon Horowitz,

EdD, director of professional services for the National Center for Learning Disabilities, "they are

validating their understanding of the material being learned and, often in ways that adults are less

successful, helping their peers to build and master new skills” (Cleaver).

The future is an inevitable occurrence and the future of education should be willing to

change as the times do. The future of education depends on the choices that are made today and a

set plan to grow. These changes point the way toward a diverse learning ecosystem in which

learning adapts to each child instead of each child trying to adapt to school (A Glimpse, 2014).

Implementing different resources which provides students with new skills and fundamental

knowledge to become leaders in the future will make for a progressive educational model. As

technology advances so does the way hands on activities would need to be incorporated in up to

date manner. As new education innovations, organizations, resources and relationships

proliferate, we have the opportunity to put the pieces — some long-established and some new —

together in new sequences to create a diverse and evolving learning ecosystem (A Glimpse,

2014).

Time has not stood still, especially when we speak of the life of a student in all aspects.

These aspects include the advances in technology, higher education for native and international

students and the economic situations that are faced within the majority school system. Evidence


of this is seen daily when we can take a phone call, check our e-mail, use GPS and check the

news all in the palm of our hands. As students continue their education many will partake in the

different adaptations of technological devices within their schools. Once these students advance

into higher education they will face new challenges, such as college costs and some may even

face immigration issues for those who are not United States citizens. Once this level of education

is reached, many students will begin to see more changes in their surroundings in terms of the

demographic population depending on where the individual goes to college/university. Vanessa

Rivera a youth member states that she went to high school in New Hampshire where she was one

of three Spanish families that lived in that neighborhood, the rest where predominately white

(personal communication, September 11, 2015). She states that when she went to Puerto Rico for

college she encountered people from all over (Australia, Africa, Dominican Republic and others)

(V. Rivera, personal communication, September 10, 2015).

Templo Sinai Youth Ministry has shown evidence of technology trends emerging within

the last few years, which have been mobile devices (i.e. smartphones, IPads, Laptops and

projectors) (Rev. J. Gonzalez, personal communication, September 10, 2015). Rev. Gonzalez

reported that many members especially the youth have been using their own mobile devices

during conferences or Bible study meetings (personal communication, September 10, 2015).

Jacob Gonzalez, youth member stated that he uses the YouVision Bible application on his

smartphone to get a simpler version of the scripture so that he may have a deeper understanding

of the study (personal communication, September 11, 2015). There has been an increase in the

usage of smartphone where the accessibility to the internet provides individuals to use their

devices more frequently. Chris Riedel (2014) mentioned the 2013 Speak Up Survey from Project

Tomorrow:


According to the 2013 results, students overwhelmingly have access to personal mobile

devices. If there was any doubt in our mind that we were beyond the tipping point in

terms of kids carrying a computer in their pocket, backpack or purse, CEO Julie Evan

said, we’re there.

(© Project Tomorrow, 2013)

In these results, technology has advanced its way from merely being an accessory to being a

resourceful machine for many individuals in general. There are a variety of apps that can be

downloaded to IPads and smartphones to have accessibility to sermons or Bible verses. Similar

findings were seen within Templo Sinai where Mrs. Montero, conveyed 5 out of 14 youth within

the congregation has a smartphone (personal communication, September 15, 2015). The future

vision for Templo Sinai Youth Ministry, reported by Rev. Gonzalez is to incorporate more

technology within the congregation and take advantage of all the resources mobile devices have

to offer assisting the youth to use their devices not only within the church but also within the

community to help others (personal communication, September 10, 2015.

An economic trend that is visible in both TSYM organization and the future of

education is low income family burdens with college costs and immigrant families. The cost of a


college education has been on a rise for the past years. In the Perryman report and Texas letter it

was sited that;

The least expensive option for higher education was attending one year at a public, in-

state, two-year institution while living off campus with family, in which the approximate

cost for this type of higher education was about $8,530 in 2013-2014. On the other hand,

the total cost for a first-time, full-time student living on campus was $22,190 at a public,

in-state, four-year institution and $44,370 at a private, nonprofit, four-year institution.

These amounts have increased anywhere from 4% to 7% over the past four years.

Irrespective of which type of institution a student attends, the total cost has been rising

sharply, and most families struggle to afford the opportunity (College Enrollment, April

2015).

Rev. Gonzalez counsels and encourages the youth and their families within the church to look

into continuing their education to further themselves and to establish upstanding professionals

inside the congregation (personal communication, September 10, 2015). Financial stressors are a

factor in why many individuals are not attending college; but another stumbling block for some

rising students who do want to continue their education after high school are undocumented.

Mrs. Montero identified that some families within the church have immigration concerns, so

most of the youth have to opt out of attending college (personal communication, September 15,

2015).

As of January 2010, the Department of Homeland Security estimated that 1.2 million

undocumented immigrants under the age of 18 were residing in the United States. Their

educational and occupational futures remain uncertain, as public policies regarding their


legal participation in key institutions of domestic life—including schools, the health care

system, and the labor force—are not entirely clear (Bozick, Robert & Miller, Trey 2014).

As the youth continue to grow and their interest in colleges are increasing, general Treasurer of

TSYM Mr. Nathaniel Torres, mentioned that in the near future the church will establish a

scholarship fund to assists the youth and the families within the congregation to alleviate some of

the financial burden (personal communication September 20,2015).

The demographics of the TSYM since its establishment, was predominately Spanish

speaking families (N. Claudio, September 9, 2015). As an organization that reaches their

community, TSYM has become bilingual fluent in English and Spanish thus far (Rev. J.

Gonzalez, personal communication September 10, 2015). Rev. Gonzalez reported that since the

new generations of members within the church is growing and the new comers are English

family homes, the church needs to accommodate to all that enter (personal communication,

September 10, 2015). Technology is fast advancing and through different equipment education

and other organizations are finding ways to adapt to their students. Bilingual teachers are also

more available to students and their parents which help to better communicate in general. TSYM

has researched head set equipment to purchase so if a visitor does not speak Spanish there is a

translator on hand to provide that service (Rev. J. Gonzalez, personal communication September

10, 2015). MotionSavvy's product - which it is called UNI - is a motion-sensing tablet device set

to launch next year that reads sign language using Leap Motion sensors (Strauss, 2014). This is a

huge step in the direction in which we need to adapt to so that no matter who comes into the

church, regardless of any and all language barriers that might come up.

Templo Sinai Youth Ministry is striving to improve and advance technology within the

church to adapt with the times. The overall vision is to have the proper technology and resources


to facilitate the organization and help it grow in a constructive way. As TSYM may not know

what the future holds, their goal is to experience and incorporate various devices to educate lives

in a positive manner through the Bible and help build a relationship between the youth and God.

Challenges may arise but through persistence TSYM will find what works.

Scenario planning helps the organization to better understand the nature and impact of

forces driving its future (Wienclaw, 2015).Templo Sinai Youth Ministry’s five year plan is to

establish a positive environment for the youth to expand their knowledge of the Bible and

maintain their relationship with God. This process emphasizes the open exchange of knowledge

from all involved parties and a mutual understanding of issues that are central to the healthy

functioning of the organization (Wienclaw, 2015). Rev. Jose Gonzalez stated that for the vision

to flourish there needs to be collaborative work and dedication of the church members and

leaders need to understand that change must happen (personal communication, September 10,

2015). Looking at the future years of TSYM, there are updated classrooms, added smartboards,

Wi-Fi accessibility, tablets for each student and BYOD option, and projectors. Templo Sinai

Youth Ministry will be operating as predicted because as Nelson Mandela said education is the

most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. This prediction is in the bases of

viewing the youth as spiritual role models and professional leaders within our communities. The

future challenges and opportunities have been identified as follow;

Challenges of Templo Sinai Youth Ministry

Seek new staff that is currently knowledgeable with technology

Training current staff

Budget for higher increases of building expenses

Upgrade security system


Constantly be current with newest technology

Opportunities of Templo Sinai Youth Ministry

Classroom will be organized age appropriately

Encounter new members within the church community

Provide spiritual guidance through biblical education

Increase in Youth Ministry members

More leadership positions will be available

If the organization does not transform into the vision that has been predicted, the staff and

leaders of the ministry will disregard the steps that were not successful and magnify the effective

outcomes and work together in reaching the vision. TSYM will continue to meet and perform

their duties as scheduled and will form committees to establish a new layout and brainstorm

fresh ideas to revamp the vision. If one understands that the future is not certain, as well as how

to prepare for some of these uncertainty, one can react to future events in a more timely and

proactive manner (Wienclaw, 2015). If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try again

(http://img.picturequotes.com/2/18/17946/if-at-first-you-dont-succeed-try-try-try-again-quote-

1.jpg).

To envision a future of this nature the ministry must prepare for change by increasing the

budget to an amount to be successful in balancing all areas of the vision. Another notion that the

ministry must prepare for is to establish architectural development. Seeking the appropriate

individuals to execute the plans is extremely important in the process of the vision and time line.

It can be helpful, for example, for the organization to compare itself with other industries that

have experienced unexpected discontinuities or progressed further in terms of various issues of


concern (e.g., regulation, technological advances) (Wienclaw, 2015). As these changes reach

their final potential, the ministry will then be at the point to implement technological

improvements. Once these new features have been added to the ministry, training programs and

strategies plans should be established to assist the new and previous leaders to keep everyone

current. Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot

change anything (Shaw, 99)

Templo Sinai Youth Ministry will immediately start the path for the Future Vision by

creating a fundraiser committee to increase the budget goal. This committee will establish clear

goals and time frame for raising funds that will attribute to the overall vision of the ministry. At

the end of the fundraising period, the committee will continue to meet and plan for future events

to raise more funds to replenish expenses. Other financial option is for the committee to be on

constant watch and connect with possible donation sponsors and grant writing programs. Once

the finances are in place, the next step would be to identify a well-established construction

company to move forward with the plans. When the company has been chosen, the process of

planning out the phases begins to unfold. Through these phases the ministry will set monthly

committee meeting to discuss progress on the project, review finances and organize further steps

to fulfill the vision of Templo Sinai Youth Ministry.

In conclusion, while the future is never promised we must always be prepared for what is

ahead. Templo Sinai Youth Ministry has thought of the vision and now is moving onward to

accomplish what was once just a thought. As we continue to face new challenges and obstacles

daily we must push forward and be creative in how to adapt and implement all new things that

will benefit the ministry’s future. In providing the youth with a stepping stone in sharing

knowledge about the Bible and helping establish a relationship with God is the overall vision for


years to come. As Franklin D. Roosevelt stated, one cannot always build the future for our youth,

but we can build our youth for the future
