On Saturday, I was able to attend the
district national pastor's meeting in Temuco. Several times a year, pastors and lay leaders meet for encouragement, fellowship, prayer, business, and planning.
Attending this meeting was very helpful to meet and start to get to know the Chilean pastors. I spent most of the morning
putting names with faces and listening to the sessions from the back row.
Reports were given, prayer requests were verbalized, a short devotional was shared, and vision for the future was cast. I enjoyed very much the spirit of the group and the collective desire to further God's work in the coming year.
My desire is to be an encouragement to these pastors and lay leaders in my missionary career. While most of these men have been trained in a Bible Institute, there is always
a great need for additional resources (books, material, and ministry helps). Meeting all the pastors reaffirmed my respect for them, for their sacrifices, for their love for the Lord and the Gospel.
In the next post, I will share about what I saw on Sunday and why I am
SO excited about it.
