Adán Benavente

Adán graduated from Baxter twice! He graduated in 1987 in the track that was available at that time and returned to his native Guatemala to work with the church in Quetzaltenango (Xela). In 1999, he established a new work at Sololá, and currently works both in the ministry at Sololá and also in a regional ministry that touches numerous churches. In 2002, after returning to Baxter to take several short courses, he graduated with the licenciatura equivalent. It was during his studies in 2000-2002 that I first met Adán.
In recent years, we have had opportunities to renew and strengthen our connection, both at Seminario Baxter and also during my trips to Guatemala as he has planned the activities with the churches for some of my trips.
Adán not only serves at Sololá as preacher, but also works with a network of smaller churches around the shores of Lake Atitlan. He is active in the work of the churches of Christ in Guatemala, serving as one of several coordinators of the annual conference of the churches. He serves as a translator for U.S. medical mission brigades. He is active in training others for ministry and leadership.
