Dear prayer coworkers, here are some pictures with short updates of PTAs and news. Thanks for your prayer support! (Report by Dr. Jose Ahn)
1. *Latin coordinators Conference (1/27-30, Guayaquil, Ecuador:)
Latin Coordinator's annual conference was held in Guayaquil, Ecuador during 1/27-30. The title of the conference was "Pongamos nuestros ojos en Jesus" "Let us fix our eyes on Jesus!" (Heb 12.1-29).
40 attended from 17 Latin countries (absent from Paraguay and Colombia) including 8 from USA and 1 from Korea. 11 Latin leaders attended with stewardship. 3 of them pioneered Peru, El Salvador and Dominican Republic. 2 of them succeeded Korean missionaries in Guatemala and Caracas, Venezuela.
Moses Chang (Belize) delivered the opening message with the title, “Count the stars!” (Gen 15:1-21) God keeps his promises to give many descendants though it may take long time. But what God really wants is beyond Isaac, Jesus, through whom all people will be blessed. We should focus on God more than our descendants in our pilgrim life.
There were 8 mission reports (El Salvador, Panama, Mexico, Bolivia 1,2, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Belize)
On the morning of 1/28 Gustavo (Caracas, Venezuela) delivered his message, "God restored Elijah" (1 king 19.) He testified how God also restored him last year with the word of God when he felt burn out as a successor of Caracas with sicknesses, heavy burden of ministry, self supporting and national economic crisis.
In the afternoon there were 6 Groups discussions' about health, 2nd gene education, finance and self supporting. Especially ministry succession among national leaders' group was very meaningful and useful.
2 Special lectures, "S. David Nam's "Restoration from burnout" and Dr.Paul Hong's "Life Management" were very helpful for all.
On 1/28 Pastor Abraham Kim delivered (M. Juan Seo as a translator) "Let us fix on Jesus" very powerfully.
On 1/29 after sharing our testimonies in 4 groups, M. Elijas Park (Brazil, Latin Coordinator) gave his closing message entitled "Jesus is the same forever" (Heb 13)
M. Andre and Ana Kim (Ecuador) volunteered to host this conference as one house church mission. They sacrificially and excellently served all. May God bless their house church (Juwang and Esther) and Ecuador.
M. Timoteo was honored with a plaque of thanks for his many years services as a Latin coordinator.
