The Resource and Advisory Center
for Bible Schools in Latin America and the Caribbean
The Resource and Advisory Center
opened its doors in January 1996 in Panama City.
Missionaries Larry and Dorothy Cederblom, serving in
Panama for many years, responded to the request of
the national churches in Latin America to help the
Bible schools. We have been working with the
Cederbloms almost from the very beginning, serving
as advisors for the first several years.
The Resource and Advisory Center
has an excellent part-time staff that help serve the
Bible schools of Latin America and the Caribbean in
the following ways:
Facilitate—Bring
leaders together for international dialogues and
forums on current issues
Training—International
and national conferences, seminars and consultations
Resources—Research,
evaluate and produce new resources and helps
(articles, books, videos, etc.)
Communication—Make
resources and helps available via the Internet and
publications (You can visit our website at:
www.ElAsesor.org. The site is in Spanish, but there
is an English version of the main page.)
The Cederbloms asked us a few
years ago if we would be interested in leading this
ministry in the future. Our single focus has been to
raise up Christian leaders. Bible school ministry is
truly the center of our call as missionaries.
We have been preparing for this
transition for the last three years. We became
co-directors a year and a half ago. We assumed the
position of director on September 1st last year. The
Cederbloms will stay on as advisors through March
2005.
We’re grateful for the vision and
wisdom of Larry and Dorothy. We are praying that the
Lord give us wisdom and favor with church and Bible
school leaders in the various countries of Latin
America and the Caribbean as we help them to sharpen
the best ministry training tool available today—the
Bible school. Please pray for us and for the Center.
Pray that the budget needs of the Center will be met
as we travel raising funds.
