PRAISE AND PRAYER WITH THE POUNDS
Peniel Theological Seminary Youth Day
"We are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God" (2 Corintians 5:20).

in Depth presentation on the Roman Road to over 100 youth who attended

The Ninth Annual Abide in Christ Pastor
and Leadership Conference at Peniel Theological Seminary included a
special Youth Day. Over a 100 young people came to the Pastor
Conference this year to introduce them to the seminary.
One of the encouraging things at Peniel are
the number of children of students and graduates who have chosen to
further their education by beginning their studies at the seminary.
The age of students has progressively become younger. University
graduates have chosen to continue their studies at Peniel. Therefore,
the academic quality has risen over the last ten years.
Peniel Seminary has grown from ten students
ten years ago to around 200 in attendance this seminster.

tent at the Abide in Christ International Pastor and Students
Conference.
Dr. Rick Cain joined Wil and gave five
presentations on discipleship and spiritual growth. These were well
received by the students. In additon to translating for Rick, Wil gave
five presentations on the Exaltation of Jesus Christ through His
resurrection, ascension, session at the right hand of the Father in
heaven, and His Second Coming. We also had excellent presentations by
two pastors from Bolivia and Brazil. Alberto Copa gave an outstanding
presentation on the call and responsabilities of the pastor.

August 5-9, 2019 Billy Windham joined Wil to
work with the Ecuadorian Medical Dental Evangelism team. This team is
composed of an Ecuadorian medical doctor, dentist, evangelism
professors at Peniel Theological Seminary and students. The pastor of
the rural church where we ministered is a seminary student, and the
work was started with four families. It is in the community of
Apalmala de Vasconez in the area of Salcedo. During the months ahead
Alejandro Guacho will work with the pastor and these families to
follow up on those who made decisions. He will take seminary students
to visit house to house witnessing.
