Bible Conferences

Through the Radio Ministry we held Bible Conferences each day during this past week.  
Cornelio Rivera, native from Honduras, was our guest speaker.  He is a scholar who explains the Scriptures with a kind, clear and simple approach.  Any one who wants to learn can soak up the Word under his teaching.
 
Edward Zacarías is our associate pastor and the administrator of the radio ministry.  In spite of so many pressing responsibilities, he did an excellent job organizing it all.
The first one was held in a more central location of Lima and was held in three afternoons.  There was a charge to attend the sessions.  Printed notes and refreshments were provided.
 
It was so well attended that we had to announce over the radio that we had no room to receive more people.
The subject was expository preaching and we had several pastors attend.  The pastor along side of Stan is Javier Huamán.  He is the first missionary our new church plant in Lima took on for support.
Many couples came.  Each received a certificate for their participation in the conference.
A lot of the lay-men and women just wanted to learn God's Word and how to interpret the Scriptures.
 
The second conference was held in a sister church in the northern part of the city and ran for three nights.  The attendance was larger because the building held more people. 
Pastor Fidel Gómez is the pastor of the church and his church choir sang each night.  He was gracious in letting us use his church.  It is our prayer that many of those who attended the conference will begin to attend his church.
Bro. Rivera was also accompanied by his sweet wife, Aida.  They are a great couple that love the Lord with all their heart and serve in the radio ministry known in Spanish as "El Camino de la Vida" (The Way of Life).  May God bless his ministry and be glorified in their lives.
