Recently, a kingdom partner produced an excellent video summarizing the ministry of LATN (now called ProMETA - see below). Please click on the "play" button to view it (the video is less than 4 minutes long).

ProMETA Summit Concludes Well

We certainly appreciated your prayers for the ProMETA Summit this past week. 11 invited guests (one was not able to make it due to travel problems) met with ProMETA staff and other on-site guests to participate in two days of intense meetings in which the following issues were presented: ProMETA's context, history, mission, vision, values, program, and needs were shared with the group. Probably the hightlight of the Summit was the dual presentation from Latin Americans: one group of students and another group of Latin American missionaries. Each group gave testimonials of how God has used ProMETA in their lives and the critical need to keep ProMETA equipping leaders for the Church. One of the neat little snippets of information we received was from one of ProMETA's students who works in a global ministry with children at risk. He said that one of the by-products of the courses he’s taken is that not only is he begin shaped in his theology, he has also become a good writer and the magazine in which he publishes for the ministry reaches 55,000 readers. One of readers, a pastor working in Patagonia (the southernmost tip of South America) said that the magazine is the only tool he has for helping him work with these children. The student thanked God for how ProMETA has enabled him to use what he is learning to minister in this way!
We look forward to next year's Summit and are working on the dates for that event.
