Students in the Youth Pastor program in the Panama Central District studied “History and Fundamentals of Youth Ministry” from April 9-13, 2018 with Global NYI Director Gary Hartke. They learned about leadership and the history of global and Panama NYI, among other topics.
One day later, on Apr. 14, the El Progresso Church of the Nazarene opened its doors to host a youth afternoon, which included participants from the local church as well as the district.
It was a time of celebration. They praised the Lord with music, led by the NYI band from the Panama Central District. This was the bands first event. There were also dramas. Rev. Hartke shared the Word of God with translation by Panama Work and Witness Coordinator Eliezel Soto.
“It was a great blessing for every young person who attended. We had the privilege of singing Happy Birthday to brother Gary and all of the youth prayed for him and his ministry.”
