december 13-14, 2008 - Pastor's Conference

The title of the seminar was “Managing Money According to the Bible” with the emphasis of the conference being several points:
1 What does the Bible say about managing money?
2 The primary mission of the church is to carry the gospel to the world
3 How our churches and the believers in Honduras should be participating and supporting missions - not only receiving
4 That God has provided the resources for us to do this or He would not ask us
5 God should be first in every area of our lives.

These themes were woven into every lesson throughout the day. At the end of the day the pastors were challenged to begin supporting a missionary from their own personal funds and to begin considering the possibility of sending out our own missionary. Saul spoke up and said he has wanted to go to England as missionary for some time. Please pray for Saul, his family, and all of us that if this is what God wants we will move in this direction.

After the seminar each pastor had an opportunity to speak. Tino said “This wasn’t a seminar about money. This was about making God first in your life. We need to change everything in our churches.” Appears God may have begun something this weekend. Please continue to pray for what is going on here and where God wants us to be/go.
