On March 13th and 14th, 2017, the Guatemala Verapaz North 89th district assembly was held at the Cobán Central Church of the Nazarene, with the presence of the authorities of the Church of the Nazarene: Dr. Jerry Porter, General Superintendent in Jurisdiction (GSJ); Rev. Leonel de León, Field Strategy Coordinator (FSC) and Lic. Ulises Solís, Rector of the Guatemala Nazarene Theological Seminary (GNTS).
Dr. Porter preached the word of the Lord. Following the message, pastors made a commitment to plant by faith, 304 new churches by 2020, as part of the 2020 vision . Rev. Francisco Heriberto Cho Si was elected as the new district superintendent.
In the midst of tears, psalms and thanksgiving, the assembly bid farewell to former district superintendent, Lic. Danilo Solís Galván, who administered that district for 13 years (2004 – 2017). Together with his wife, María Teresa Revolorio, they have served for 50 years in the Church of the Nazarene as pastors in El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala. In addition, Brother Solís served as rector of the (NTS) and was Superintendent of different districts. Dr. Porter thanked the couple for all their years of service.
Everything was done in an atmosphere of spiritual feast, with marimba music, with the participation of the Emmanuel group; Mariachis; a choir of pastors’ wives and a quartet of retired pastors, including Rev. Danilo Rene Solis.
The assembly ended with the ordination of three new Elders, accompanied by their respective spouses, who were consecrated for the work of the Lord by Dr. Porter.
To God be the glory!
