National Pastor's Conf. in Uruguay

Last week I (David) was able to travel over to Uruguay with some national pastors and missionaries in order to attend a national pastor's conference. The conference was put on by our mission (GMSA) and hosted by the Paysandú Bible Camp (see map above).

The main speakers were (L) Missionary Bob Metz - Mexico City, Mexico and former missionary to Mexico City, Bruce Burkholder.

Bob spoke on the importance of Developing a Biblical Philosophy of Ministry. Bruce used the book of Philemon as a test case for teaching basic Hermeneutical principles (or Bible study methods). Both sets of sessions were very profitable to me personally, as well as to the national pastors in attendance.
