Teacher Training in Gexto, Spain
Red and yellow, black and white they are precious in His
sight... can you remember the first time you sang these words?
Many of us can remember a Sunday School teacher who
impacted our young hearts and set us on the path to where we
are today. That is exactly why missionaries, Alister and
Lindy Belbin, hosted their first Teacher’s Training Seminar in
the new church plant, Centro Cristiano in Getxo, Spain.
The Belbins invited Gil and Gladys Rodriguez, experienced
children’s ministry trainers, to Getxo where Gladys taught and
shared with the 15 Sunday School teachers. It was a miracle
that 15 attended due to a cyclone that had come through that
day. The teachers enjoyed it from start to finish:
prizes, games, class outline ideas, Q&A sessions, and other
helpful ideas were presented. The seminar went so well,
another is planned in the Fall with attendance expected to
double. One teacher commented, “I’m so glad I didn’t miss this
workshop. It was excellent! I’m already using some of the
ideas that were presented.”
God is using men and women
around the world to impact the next generation. Please take a
moment and pray for the children and churches in the Getxo
area. Please pray for more workers with a heart for kids.
There are about 1000 children within a five minute walk of the
Belbin’s church. What an opportunity and challenge!
