Iglesias de Cristo: Seminar and Regional Fellowship

Attendance was higher last night, especially when one considers that it was a rainy, cold spring evening when it would have been easier to stay home. Seeing brothers and sisters with the desire to be fed spiritually, to learn more about the word of God, and to grow in grace and knowledge is a great reward.
Today’s Regional Fellowship brought lots of Christians together as area churches assembled for a day of worship and fellowship. Congregations were represented from western Arkansas and from the Oklahoma City area. I do know the exact attendance, but my guess is that it approached 200. It was a joy to renew fellowship with some brothers and sisters I had not seen for several years, and to have the opportunity to become acquainted with many others. God’s Spirit is alive and well among the Hispanic churches in the region as God gives the increase in the midst of several difficult challenges.
I taught two lessons, the first about the nature of biblical leadership and the second about the transformed life. The comments and appreciation buoyed my spirit and encouraged me.
