A dream come true: The first Spanish group graduating from the NBS master's program

After returning to Colombia, we embarked on a journey to make it possible for people in Latin America to access certified, high-quality theological education in their native language. After several years of hard work, including translation and contextualization, we have finally seen the fruits of our labor. Last week, four students from the Spanish program of Northwest Seminary...

Pastoral Care Includes Children

Step inside the activity area in Winnipeg, where children’s eyes gleam with joy, and you’ll find a seven-year-old girl tugging at Guilliana’s hand. “Can you help me finish this project? I want it for my mommy!” the child says, looking up with a bright smile...

Pastoral Care Involves Training New Pastors

September in Santa Cruz, Bolivia marks the anniversary of our city’s founding. Fresh green leaves mean spring is here once more...

Pastoral Care with the Neediest

Daniel and Helen Bravo face a new week on a Monday morning, again ready for challenges that arise without warning. They have spent the last week in Uraba, Colombia where more people are passing through each day, arriving to the area after leaving their homes in Venezuela. The steady stream of refugees is like the Caribbean tide not far away...

Pastoral Care Includes Young Expectant Mothers

Natalia Martinez leans her head back against the pillow; the main light in the room is turned off, and it’s time for a final prayer before sleeping. This has been another demanding day, which is not unusual in her life. A life-long resident of the city of Armenia, Colombia...

A Vision in Progress

Change – that is an ongoing, inevitable, and necessary challenge in the whole world, but especially here. Nowhere is this so evident as in the classrooms where small children come to spend several hours a day with me. I work at BridgeWay North American School in Mexico City...

“MINI SCHOOLS”

Who has not been captivated by the voice of God expounded from the pulpit? Behind such an exposition of the word and the one who expounds, is the work of what we call “escuelitas”, or mini-preaching schools. Jorge and Gail Atiencia...

The Blessing of a Changed Life

I believe that as we are growing up, we are blind to see that the love we wanted so much from our parents and that we did not receive. Fragile emotional life comes from a place that lacks strong core spiritual values in people’s lives. When a child does not have that to imitate what we end up imitating in life are the mirrors that raised us...

Three Who Like the Samaritan Woman at the Well Were Restored

Many of you know I always distribute large quantities (80-100 pounds) of individually wrapped candies to all ages when I visit Puerto Lempira. As the sole English-speaking, blue-eyed, pale-skinned person in the whole community, I stand out, and I want all my interactions with the people there to be of a positive nature...
