Bible Institute - Cerro Miel Feb 26 - Mar 1.
“I have learned so much in this Bible Institute. In the learning, God has corrected many things in my life and ministry, and I am grateful for that”, words given by Pastora Mercedes before she shared the devotional of one of the days. Pastor Norberto also shared and on this occasion was on Hosea 11:1-4, pointing out how caring was God with His people then and they did not realize it was Him. Our Lord is caring and loving, let’s realize that is He who cares, heals, and restores us today.
The improvement in the participant's sharing during their turn in the devotional time was noticeable.
The Doctrine of Man and Sin was the subject taught on this occasion, and many questions arose concerning different situations they confront in their areas as pastors and leaders, such as marriage, relational situations that they need to address before things get worst, and other situations.
The team (CR teachers, Cinthia, David & Talsy) is so excited for the next Institute that will take place on June 29 - July 3rd and see what our Lord has in store.

!Graduated!!! - Perspective Course
That is true, we finally graduated from the Perspective Course, a World Mission Movement Course, necessary as a missionary. It took 15 weeks of meeting every Monday virtually. Very edifying and eye-opening besides confirming concepts and strategies.
“Never before” - NPL Training - Feb 16-19
After the door-to-door visits was finished, we came back to the temple for reports and testimonies. We heard each person but we were not ready for when Roselia got up and with tears in her eyes, shared with us that “I used to attend another church before but decided to move to this one. Never before I have heard what you all have taught us today. I knew I was a new creature but did not know I had a ministry, a message, and a mission as Jesus’s ambassador. Thank you because now I have tools to share the Gospel”. Rosalia and her son Abel came every day to the training and Abel presented the 3 circles and witnessed for the first time, a big smile tells us that he is more than excited.
Malena, a small town in the Province of Veraguas, requires 5 hours drive to get there, 5 minutes walk from the beach but needs restoration and we pray for a refreshing wind from the Holy Spirit to heal wounds among families. In front of Malena’s shores, we could see three big islands that we are planning to visit this month in order to take this training and follow up on the 2 souls that said “yes” to Jesus and 1 reconciliation.
We know and understand how important is to be a disciple, so we hope to see how is this going as well as to visit Roselia.
Thank you for your prayer, support, and encouragement. Our hearts keep praying for peace in Europe as we keep going ahead trusting that God is in control and His purposes will be accomplished.
In Him and until He comes back again,
Talsy & David
For the word of the Lord holds true, and we can trust everything he does.
He loves whatever is just and good; the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth.
Psalms 33:4-5
