Puerto Rico Baptist College Graduation Banquet

I teach classes at Puerto Rico Baptist College and get help from students there in our missionary church planting here on the island. This year, a student from Peru, Zoraida Mejía Alzamora, worked with us. She served as a Sunday School teacher and laboured with us in painting, cleaning, and participating in getting church projects done on Saturdays.

We honored her and the other graduating students with a special dinner. Her mom flew in from Peru to be with her for this special occasion. We had them both in our Sunday morning service following, and gifted Zoraida with an offering to help her with a missionary outreach she will be doing with a Hispanic Baptist church in Texas this summer.

Here are some photos of the event

Training future preachers and teachers for our Spanish Speaking Churches!

I love teaching at Puerto Rico Baptist College. Here is photo of one of my classes this year. 

Our students come from the island, but also from Peru, Colombia, Nicaragua, and various other nations in Latin and South America.

It is  encouraging for us to be around quality young people like these with a vision to serve the Lord. 

Their faith, energy, and willingness to serve bodes well for future missionary efforts in their countries as well as our own.
