- **Kingdom government & Altar** teachings central: Featured Teachings Altar and Kingdom — Restoring God's Government, Restoring Altar of Worship 2.0
- **Global gatherings rhythmic**: Family Gathering 2022, 2024 SL, 2026 (Chiapas Sep 26-Oct 4 2026 per Reyna project)
- **Next-gen focus**: Gen-K Young Adults Summit Africa/Europe (2025), Young Adults Online Summit
- **Multilingual mandate**: Same teaching translated 6 langs (EN/ES/FR/PT/AR/RU) — e.g., Economic Recession, Fear Not — shows global intent but WP translation via Polylang separate posts per lang (clunky)
- **Medical conferences**: Kingdom Medical Conference — marketplace / professional stream
- **IKMA conferences**: International Kingdom Ministerial Alliance? Third conference
- **Marriage Seminar**: family focus
- **Dedications & Honor**: Martha Natareno, 50th anniversary John & Carmen, high five from heaven (after homegoing?) — culture of honor

- Join family funnel: no clear "Join" CTA
- Local rep directory: no map, no subdomains, no find a location
- Language switcher: exists via Polylang but hidden, not persistent

- Categories: Vlog (video teachings), Word (written), maybe series: Altar & Kingdom, Fear Not series, Economic Recession series, Global Urgency, Season of Sovereign Lord, French Lessons, Marriage, Giving

- Media: Subsplash videos + YouTube Walking Voice Media + Facebook + old Flowplayer — need centralize
- Component: Editorial 16/11 cards with category pill, title overlay, language badge

## Questions for Pastor / Team (to fill missing context)

- For each rep: leader name, contact, service times, address, giving link, media link, language, hero photo
- Giving: Subsplash Give embed code for global? Colombia restrictions?
- Media: Primary source — Subsplash vs YouTube vs Facebook? Want all in one /media?
- Private Social App: social.emmint.com legacy 2760B static — want to rebuild in Instatic or keep external? Translation feature requirement?
- Shop: Books EN/ES — physical inventory where? Link to Amazon or direct?
- Events: Chiapas 2026 details — schedule, speakers, registration form link, hotel Cavali booking code, flight Kayak watchdog 39 runs?
- Tributes legacy: Want 57 tributes migrated or archive PDF?
- Languages: Keep Polylang 6 langs separate posts or single post with lang field? Subdomain fr.emmint.com vs /fr/ path?
- Donations: International wire instructions for non-US?
- Contact: WhatsApp groups Home channel (251216982503528@lid) — connect join form to WhatsApp?
- Media team: Who updates Subsplash after service (selective YouTube archiving)? Workflow for auto-sync to new site?
