Abide in Christ 6th Annual Pastor Leadershiipo Conference 

Peniel Theological Seminary Quichua Leadership Conference in Riobamba, Ecuador

 

"Sing to the LORD a new song;
Sing to the LORD, all the earth.
Sing to the LORD, bless His name;
Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.
Tell of His glory among the nations,
His wonderful deeds among all the peoples" (Psalm 96:1-3).

Chema and Carmen Reinosos, and Nixon Celestin joined Wil Pounds for the 6th Annual Pastor Leadership Conference at Peniel Theological Seminary, August 1-4, 2016. This leadership conference is presented by Abide in Christ each year as a pastor continuing education ministry.

This year Chema Reinosos of InTouch Ministries, the Charles Stanley Spanish radio and TV programs, challenged pastors and leaders to stand fast on their commitment to solid biblical preaching.

Chema spoke on how to keep youth involved in the ministry, ten characteristics of a spiritually healthy church, the gospel ministry in our culture, Joseph a model of faith in God, the leadership style of the apostle Paul, and how we can guard our tongue from James and Proverbs. Carmen Reinosos encouraged the pastor's wives and their cministry in the home and church. This was her third Abide in Christ conference in Ecuador at Peniel Seminary.

InTouch has donated  tablets for those who graduate from Peniel. We are grateful to Chema and Carmen, Dr. Stanley and staff for these valuable resources for our students.

The second week Wil spoke at the Genesis Quichua Bilingual Church on the armor of God. He also taught evangelism training at La Luz del Mundo Cacha Obraje, a Quichua evangelical church in the community of Cacha Obraje. This is one of the most doctrinally mature and sound churches where he has been training church leadership. He received an excellence response from the church, and will be returning to teach on biblical doctrine.

in the last 6 months the Lord God has provided $70,000 for the property for Peniel Theological Seminary in Riobamba! It has been exciting to watch the seminary leadership grow in faith as they have watched God provide.

There are no evangelical churches in the section of the city of Riobamba where the property is located. One of the goals of the seminary is to immediately start a mission outreach in this area, and to use the main building of the seminary as a worship center and seminary class rooms on the second floor. Please pray for wisdom and direction on how to best use the property for present and future growth of the seminary.

In October 2016 Abide will work closely with Peniel in three new Quichua communities in Chimborazo Province of Ecuador. Please pray for Alejandro Guacho as he works with seminary students in this new gospel outreach.
