Colombia seminar

This update is from Sonia Orozco, the pastor of one of GCI’s churches in Colombia, South America.

In February, we held our annual seminar in Santa Marta. It was attended by 66 adults and seven children. We thank God for his guidance, support and especially his presence and power in the event.

Guest speakers were GCI pastors Heber Ticas (from Los Angeles) and Hector Barrero (from Bogotá). The seminar was entitled “The Christian and Missionary Model of Jesus.” The focus was on fulfilling the Great Commission, following Jesus’ missionary model.

Each day we had a morning devotional, followed by worship and then seminar meetings. One evening we had a social event at which the various regions of the Colombian Caribbean coast were represented in costumes, songs and dances.

A highlight of the event was the baptism of three young men from our congregation.
