Pastor's Conference


Last night the ADIEL Tarma Team hosted it’s very own Pastor’s Conference with the help of a few friends from the US. Pastor Steve Troxel is a man who pastured Wayside Bible Church in San Antonio, TX for years and years and in his retirement has begun a ministry encouraging pastors all over the world. Pastor Troxel, his wife and another couple involved in his ministry came to Peru last week to host conferences for the ADIEL pastors and leadership teams. They spent a week in Lima and were able to come to Tarma for a day to present to the pastors here as well. So last night we hosted 40 people at the nicest hotel in town for a dinner conference. We invited all of the pastors and their wives to attend this seminar and we had a wonderful turnout. Pastor Troxel shared quite a bit from his own personal life and pasturing experience as well as his struggles in life. He was transparent and I believe this spoke well to the pastors of Tarma who would never admit their failures. Pastor Troxel also spoke on the importance of teaching the Bible verse by verse from Genesis to Revelation, something that nobody is doing here in Tarma. He then went on to explain how the entire Bible proclaims Jesus and walked the Tarma pastors through the OT proclamations and prophesies that Jesus then fulfilled. It was a wonderful evening and it opened a lot of doors for us as a team to work with Tarma pastors and congregations in the future.

That is a lot of black, gray and brown. Where has all the color gone?
