Our cordial greetings,
It is a pleasure to write these lines to update interested brothers regarding the progress of BVBI-Peru. The two courses that have been taught in this bimester have been "Historical Books of the AT." and "The life of Jesus II" we are one class away from finishing both courses, the first course has been in charge of this server (Juan Abanto) and the second in charge of Abraham Alata, attendance at both courses has improved and we hope in The Lord keep doing it. In both courses we have had 9 students.
In addition to the classes taught at the institute, we had our V Annual Bible Conference on April 8 in the city of Ica, the two congregations in that city participated in the event, including a group of brothers from Lima, it was a beautiful experience for us. as instructors, to share these teachings regarding "A church that perseveres: Contrast between the challenges of the church of the I Century and that of the XXI century". The instructors for this conference were the brothers Abraham Alata, Andres Nunes, Alejandro Berrío (graduate student) and Juan Abanto. We had an attendance of about 60 people.
We were blessed to participate in the evangelistic activity of the church where the conference was held and for the glory of God two souls were added to the kingdom of Christ. It really was 3 days of a lot of activity, fellowship, instruction and work. We hope in the Lord to be promoters of many more similar events in the future in many other congregations, both in the capital and in the provinces of our country.
I share some photos that somehow tell you this story visually.
May the Lord continue to bless your respective ministries.
Juan Abanto
