It was a joy to be with the 98 delegates and over 100 visitors who attended the Northwest Latin Quadrennial Conference in Sunnyside, Washington on April 14, 2018. Eastern Washington is noted for its agriculture. Driving across the beautiful landscape one views miles of orchards beginning to bloom. When it\u2019s clear, Mount Rainer is visible to the west.<\/p>\n

There was excitement as the delegates and visitors filled the church auditorium. Many pastors spent time with Rev. Stephen Hanscom who was present representing the IPHC Extension Loan Fund. The conference began on Friday evening with a stirring sermon by Bishop Eleuterio Prieto. The church was full that night with over three hundred people present.<\/p>\n

Esta fue una conferencia hist\u00f3rica, ya que hubo una transferencia de liderazgo de un superintendente de la conferencia a otro. A principios de este a\u00f1o, el obispo Ricky Walter habl\u00f3 conmigo acerca de renunciar como superintendente de la conferencia. Trabajando diligentemente para completar su doctorado en consejer\u00eda el pr\u00f3ximo a\u00f1o, el Obispo Walter no sent\u00eda que pudiera darle tiempo al trabajo de la conferencia que era necesario. Hace varios meses, el Obispo Walter, Superintendente Asistente David Salazar, y yo nos reunimos en San Benito, Texas, para discutir esta transferencia. Los tres de nosotros acordamos en el momento y que Rev. Walter asumir\u00eda la oficina vacante del superintendente asistente. Desde las elecciones de la conferencia cuatrienal ser\u00e1 el pr\u00f3ximo a\u00f1o, la conferencia estuvo de acuerdo con este sencillo paso. El viernes por la tarde tuve el honor de instalar al obispo David Salazar como superintendente de la conferencia. Su esposa Rosa estaba con \u00e9l. En el servicio de instalaci\u00f3n Rev. y la Sra. Walter se unieron a m\u00ed, as\u00ed como a otros dos miembros del consejo. Tuvimos el privilegio de tener con el obispo Scott Hampton de la Conferencia de Great Plains y se uni\u00f3 a m\u00ed para poner las manos sobre el obispo Salazar. El obispo Salazar estar\u00e1 presente para la reuni\u00f3n del Consejo de Obispos en Orlando, Florida, el lunes por la ma\u00f1ana, 24 de julio. Quiero tomar un momento y expresar mi aprecio por el Rev. Walter. Ha servido en el Consejo de Obispos durante unos cuatro a\u00f1os. Asumi\u00f3 el cargo durante tiempos turbulentos y trajo estabilidad a las iglesias y ministros. Es un m\u00fasico dotado con una gran unci\u00f3n en su ministerio. Tambi\u00e9n aport\u00f3 ideas importantes a la COB sobre diversos temas relacionados con el cuidado de los ministros en dificultades. Su experiencia de asesoramiento y antecedentes seguir\u00e1 siendo un gran recurso para la IPHC en los pr\u00f3ximos a\u00f1os. El viernes por la ma\u00f1ana de la conferencia, el obispo Scott Hampton trajo una excelente sesi\u00f3n de dos sesiones sobre las principales organizaciones. El superintendente de conferencias de servicio m\u00e1s joven en el Consejo de Obispos, la visi\u00f3n, la energ\u00eda y el liderazgo de Bishop Hampton est\u00e1n siendo reconocidos a trav\u00e9s del IPHC. El viernes por la noche, el Dr. Luis Avila, Director de Ministerios Hispanos de IPHC, habl\u00f3 en un servicio biling\u00fce. Orador dotado, el Dr. \u00c1vila abri\u00f3 la Palabra de Dios de una manera poderosa. Tambi\u00e9n comparti\u00f3 los \u00e9xitos del programa Ministerial del Instituto Nacional de Capacitaci\u00f3n (INCaM) en los Ministerios B\u00edblicos de Gracia. No hay duda de que esto llevar\u00e1 a una nueva generaci\u00f3n de hombres y mujeres entrenados en un ministerio efectivo. El viernes por la noche, el Obispo Beacham habl\u00f3 sobre \"Valoramos el Reino de Cristo con oraci\u00f3n\". Fue un honor contar con el ex congresista de la conferencia, Barry Boatright, para asistir a este servicio nocturno. Un querido amigo y un l\u00edder piadoso, se uni\u00f3 al Obispo Salazar, Rev. Walter, y yo en oraci\u00f3n por los muchos j\u00f3venes que estaban presentes. El s\u00e1bado por la ma\u00f1ana, el obispo Salazar comparti\u00f3 su visi\u00f3n y coraz\u00f3n para la conferencia. Es un l\u00edder inspirador y humilde. \u00c9l ha viajado a trav\u00e9s de la reuni\u00f3n de la conferencia con los pastores y las congregaciones que traen el est\u00edmulo. Carlos y Nuria Bolanos compartieron su coraz\u00f3n y su visi\u00f3n para el ministerio con Acts2Day en Hawai. He estado con esta pareja inspiradora en varios eventos y aprecio profundamente su ministerio. Est\u00e1n plantando iglesias con EVUSA en Maui. Muchos turistas no se dan cuenta de las profundidades de la desesperaci\u00f3n y depravaci\u00f3n que operan en Hawai. Hay grandes oportunidades dignas de nuestro apoyo financiero y orante. Estoy agradecido de que Susan y yo estamos apoyando a esta pareja y te animamos a hacer lo mismo. Una persona recibi\u00f3 la licencia del ministro y otra fue reintegrada. Dos personas tambi\u00e9n recibieron certificados del ministro de la iglesia local.","author_name":"","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/05\/2016-Conference-Recap-Graphic-2.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb62Bx-xN","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2095","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2095"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2095\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2095"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2095"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2095"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
