Mexico Churches to Focus on Planting More Churches
OAXACA, MEXICO (April 3, 2003) - Covenant churches of the Central and South
districts of Mexico (known as the IEMP) recently met for their annual
conference in Oaxaca as churches and pastors pledged to make church
planting a focal point in future ministries.
The conference included seminars led by three speakers: Walter Contreras,
Pacific Southwest Conference church planting consultant; Alberto Ruiz,
president of CIPE (Confraternidad of Hispanic Covenant Churches) and pastor
of the Cap Street Church in San Francisco, California; and North Park
Theological Seminary Prof. Jerry Reed.
The IEMP (Iglesia Evangelica Misionera del Pacto) is part of the division
of three districts in the Mexican Covenant Church. Alfonso Perez Parras is
IEMP president and Francisco Sotelo serves as vice president. Tom and
Janice Kelly are Mexico region coordinators for the Department of World
Mission of the Evangelical Covenant Church. To learn more about the
