Hector Barrero, GCI mission developer in South America reports that GCI’s churches in Peru held their annual seminar in late September in Piura. Fifty members attended from Lima, La Huaca, Huanuco and Piura. Here is a photo of the group:
Congregations represented at the seminar gave positive reports. Juan Carlos Florian noted that the La Huaca congregation grew last year from 25 to 50 people.
Seminar presentations included, Called to Listen, Called to Serve, Called to Advance, Called to Make Disciples, Practical Evangelism and A Fruitful Spiritual Life. Pastor Sonia Orozco from Barranquilla, Colombia gave a presentation on leading a congregation as a female pastor.
During the event, Diego, Leyla and Sofia Nieves were baptized (see picture below).
Hector and Paulina and our dear brothers and sisters in Peru. What a blessing you all had to gather together with Jesus in your midst, building relationships and friendships with HIM and with each other. This is a great looking group of Christ followers. Blessings to you all.
“Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain” 1Corinthians 15:58 (NIV) Los recuerdo con mucho carino.
