First Radio Bible Conference

From March 3 – 5 we held our first Radio Bible Conference at a school in central Lima. Radio listeners were invited to come to hear Cornelio Rivera who taught the books of Haggai and Obadiah. The lectures were recorded for our radio programming.

The conference went well, but the attendance was lower than we were hoping. The first night we had 32. The next night there were about 10 more and the final night the attendance was around 50. Our main target was to reach pastors and there were approximately 10 who attended. Over all, it was a very good first-time conference.
Those who came showed high interest in learning the Word. That spirit was refreshing and exciting to see! Those who attended the last day.

On the last night of the conference we gave a complimentary Bible commentary to each attending pastor. Our goal is to fortify pastors and their ministries and teach the Bible to all who will listen. It is exciting beginning this new ministry.

Our missionary colleagues Gary and Penny Whipple offered literature on the last night. The brought commentaries and Sunday School literature for teachers. The goal was to connect our listeners to a good source for quality materials with sound doctrine. Penny Whipple at their Literature Table
Offering literature at the conference was a good idea. We are grateful for the ministry of Gary and Penny Whipple.

During the breaks, we offered refreshments. Here Ruth is serving in the background. She was a great help in this area.

The pastors who attended on the last night received a commentary by Warren Wiersbe on a N. T. book. If you would like to assist in our goal to help pastors, one of the things you can do is give a financial gift that will cover the cost of books and materials we could give to the pastors. If God places it in your heart to help, write us at stanperu@gmail.com or peruruth@gmail.com and we will explain how you can designate a gift for this purpose.
