We had a very encouraging Winter Conference this past week, centered on the theme of compassion. Pastor Steve Hall of Hope Baptist Church in Ohio preached on how abiding in Christ is fundamental to everything, including compassion for the lost. He emphasized that being compassionate should be a defining and propelling characteristic of all of God’s people. On the last day, Pastor Hall taught two breakout sessions, providing practical tips on how to study the Bible with lost people. Since the conference, we’ve heard of renewed outreach efforts and even new Bible studies being scheduled with nonbelievers! We thank God for how He used His Word and Pastor Hall’s example to encourage the ministry here in Chile. Please pray that more people will put their faith in Jesus as a result of this conference! 

We are also thankful for Faith Baptist Church and Hope Baptist Church, who graciously hosted the conference and strategically arranged their auditoriums to allow for maximum capacity. We look forward to holding the 2025 Winter Conference back at the Chile Baptist College under a newly built roof!
