3rd Commencement

The church was packed for a special service. This year Instituto Biblico Reformado de Chiapas (IBRC) has decided to celebrate its 3rd commencement service at Filadelfia IPRM church in Nueva Galilea during the annual Presbytery meeting. The presbytery elected its new directives (Pdte. Antonio Sanchez, Vice-Pdte. Jeronimo Penate, Sec. Antonio Gitierrez, & Tres. Eduardo Mendez) for the next 2 years of service. May these pastors be encouraged and responsible to what they have been given today.

Luis & Cesario (and Juana in absence) have been so happy to get all the focus in the party. They have been so faithful to school requirements and are ready for the ministry. On behalf of all the pastors with their hands extended toward two graduates, I prayed to charge them with spiritual authority. An advice was given to them emphasizing on their present emotion and attitude-excitement, humbleness, fear, etc.-as they will become a part of the presbytery. The very feeling of today may always be kept in their life. God bless them and all upcoming ministries ahead of them.
