En marzo, unos 776 asistentes, incluidos pastores y sus cónyuges, se reunieron en Hershey, Pennsylvania, para el Taller de Evangelismo de Columbia Union “Yo estoy contigo”.

“Esta es la tercera reunión ministerial que hemos tenido en Columbia Union desde el 2000; que esta pueda ser la última. Que esta pueda ser en la que dijiste: 'Yo estuve allí, fui a buscar al Espíritu Santo para que me fortaleciera, y el Espíritu cayó sobre mí', dijo Dave Weigley, ahora presidente retirado de Columbia Union, durante el primer evento de la reunión.

During the event, held in Tranquility, N.J., Celeste Ryan Blyden, Columbia Union executive secretary, and Emmanuel Asideu, treasurer, announced that the union will give $2,000 to all the teams placing first to aid in travel expenses to the upcoming North American Division event to take place in Colorado.

Congrats to all the participants!
