Because of YOU

Your giving and support helped make possible a Pastor and Spouse conference in El Salvador. The conference theme was “Healthy Priorities in Ministry: Commitment to God, Family and Congregation.” 50 pastors and spouses attended, and the Spirit’s presence was palpable.

The pastors came from rural, suburban and urban churches, nondenominational, Presbyterian, Methodist, Pentecostal—a real ecumenical collection—many of them were “tent makers” [working in another job as well as ministry]. These pastors represented leaders of established congregations, multi-site congregations, and many new churches.

These pastors and spouses were like dry sponges—eager to learn, be challenged, and delighted in the conference fellowship of new colleagues and friends. They left renewed in their faith and clearly focused on healthy priorities to love the Lord Jesus, love their spouse and children, and lead their congregations into mission-shaped ministries. Below is a picture of the conference pastors/spouses with their graduation certificates.
