HIDALGO, MEXICO—On May 14, 2017, an inauguration ceremony was held at our missionary school, Reform Bible Institute J. N. Andrews, in Progreso de Obregón, Hidalgo, Mexico. The class of 2017-2018 will be the seventh class to graduate from our missionary school in Mexico, and they will have the opportunity to be the first to study in the brand new building.
Present for the inauguration were Brother David Matheus, Northeast Mexico Field President; Brother Cesar Perez, Mexican Union President; Brother Samuel Diaz, Mexican Union Secretary and Institute Director; and Brother Mario Linares, Canvassing Professor.
For the opening of the inauguration, Brother Cesar Perez presented a sermon and Brother Samuel Diaz spoke about the building project and thanked those who supported it. The school administration was introduced, as well as the new students for 2017-2018.
At the school building, an inauguration ribbon was unraveled and a tour of the school was given to those in attendance.
May God bless the new school, its administration and students, and all who sacrificed to make the school possible. "The churches in different localities should feel that a solemn responsibility rests upon them to train youth and educate talent to engage in missionary work," {Testimony Treasures, vol. 2, p. 471}.
"The highest class of education is that which will give such knowledge and discipline as will lead to the best development of character, and will fit the soul for that life which measures with the life of God," {CG, p. 296}.
