BARBOSA, COLOMBIA—On January 10, 2017, the highly anticipated national conference in Colombia began. The theme of the conference was "Redeemed Families" and had the participation of Brother Radu Ionita (GC Youth Department Director), Brother Segundo Guzman (GC Regional Secretary for Central America), and Brother Mario Alvarado (Assistant GC Regional Secretary for South America).
The conference took place at Camp Eben-ezer in Barbosa, Santander, Colombia. There, attendees set their camps and gathered under a tent for meetings, talks, and fellowship. The event was attended by 1,600 individuals including members, friends, and visitors from all over the country.
While the conference itself was a special event, two other events occurred during that special week—a baptism welcomed eight souls into our church family. A graduation ceremony for fifteen students of the Ebenezer Missionary School also took place. During the graduation ceremony, the incoming class was also introduced.
May God bless all involved in these events. May the messages heard be always remembered. Let us keep our new brethren in our prayers, as well as the young graduates and students.
