CIPE Bible School Begins
QUITO, ECUADOR (July 14, 2003) - A total of 21 students from seven countries
are studying at the CIPE (Confederation of Latin American Covenant
Churches) Bible School, which runs from July 6 to August 17.
Students and faculty hail from Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador,
Mexico, Spain and the United States, said representative Pablo
Velasquez. The purpose of the six-week school is to provide training in
five areas, including:
- Spiritual growth
- Bible and theological knowledge
- Personal and leadership development
- Training to work in the local church
- Christian service
Following a July 6 church service at the 4,000 member Holy Trinity
Covenant Church (Santisima Trinidad), the group went to the Mitad del
Mundo, a monument that marks the Equator. The festive inauguration of
the Bible school took place later that afternoon. The Ezekiel Group from
the Holy Trinity Church graced the occasion with folkloric music from
Ecuador.
