Christian leaders from 16 countries attended the first-ever “Training of Trainers” in Latin America

Share This Post

At the end of May, about 160 pastors and leaders from 16 Latin American countries attended a week-long DNA training in Panama. This event came on the heels of the DNA’s first-ever Regional Forum for Latin America less than a year before.

It was a powerful time for Spanish-speaking Christian leaders to learn about biblical worldview and the DNA global network, to get equipped to train others, and to build and strengthen relationships with like-minded leaders.

DNA co-founder Bob Moffitt (in blue pants) led a training and exercise in which small groups worked together to develop Seed Project plans, then presented them to the group.

  
What’s next?

  • The DNA Vision Conference in Paraguay still is planned for Sep. 28-Oct. 3. Click here to learn more and register!
  • Leaders from Honduras (about 40 were present at the conference) expressed interest in helping establish a small DNA secretariat office to serve the Latin American region in areas of administration and communication. This would be a great step forward for the movement in the region.
  • Leaders from Honduras, Guatemala and Panama talked about working together to host a Vision Conference specifically for young people.
  • Plans are underway for another Nurturing the Nations conference in Peru in early 2015. Click here to see DNA co-founder Darrow Miller’s presentation from a similar conference in Asia.
  • Others discussed planning a Vision Conference for Argentina.

  2. Hi,
    I’m looking forward to hear news about the Vision Conference for young people in Latin America.
    I’ve already wrote an e-mail to the directions provided but I haven’t received nothing back. I’ll keep waiting, praying and getting ready 😀
    If there’s something that I could do to help and contribute to it please let me know!

    Blessings from Mexico
