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.

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!

Looking at the photo of that Latin American conference does more than moving, it challenges me again. I am now and since June in the Basque Country (Spain) where the term “worldview” has not even started to be heard… but that, God providing, will change. Go Latin America!

Fighting Shadows with Jon Tyson

Today, as men, we need to do more than understand the largely lost concept of biblical masculinity. We need freedom. Most men are trapped by “shadows” or lies and have a difficult time expressing vulnerability, making us familiar with the grip of isolation and loneliness. This is not the life God intended. Today, we had the honor of sitting down with author and pastor Jon Tyson to hear about his upcoming book, Fighting Shadows: Overcoming 7 Lies that Keep Men from Becoming Fully Alive, which he co-authored with Jeff Bethke. This discussion will touch everyone as we shed light on these crucial lies, explore how they can be overcome, and joyfully do our best to present a better vision for masculinity that is oriented around our Lord and Savior.

The Gospel Has No Significance for Society

Christian nationalism was recently denounced by John MacArthur as a faulty viewpoint. He says things will get continually worse on Earth. Unfortunately, this view cultivates apathy and even discourages cultural influence. In contrast to this view, Christ teaches us to pray: “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” If things will only get worse, then what was the justification for the profoundly positive influence of Christian leaders like William Wilberforce? And why should we, as Christians, work to eradicate slavery, human trafficking, and abortion? Wherever God has placed you, whether in a family, school, political office, or bakery, you are called to faithfully represent Christ and His Kingdom in everything you do. It’s time for a faith that is active, not passive, in the face of challenges.
