Conference with P. Ray & P. Sheff: Guayaquil

This year's conference with Pastor Ray started in Guayaquil. Seven members of his church in Carlisle, Pennsylvania came with him. We were also joined by P. Sheff, his wife, Kim, and Jim Seaver from Maine as well as Rachel Wileczek and Jamie from Peru.

We had a leadership and pizza night at our house, a beach day, and an amazing conference with the pastors. In addition, Jim Seaver taught a class on music ministry to about 20 people and Rachel taught a class on teaching children to our Bible Club and Sunday School teachers. All were well-received.
