Activities

The size of the country poses a challenge to outreach, fellowship and pastoral work.

The members are widely scattered. Bro. Emerson Acosta advertises in print media and also generates many contacts on the Internet. The year 2018 saw the baptisms of two young men who had discovered us on the Internet and had been instructed by Emerson and via Skype classes from North America. They now receive post-baptismal classes. Some tune into meetings being broadcast in Spanish by ecclesias in Central America. CBMA workers maintain contact with all members and visit periodically.

There are several interested friends around the country.

Looking forward to the Greek invasion, Zechariah says “Gaza shall see it and be very sorrowful” (9:5). Exodus 15:14 provides us with a current headline: “The people shall hear and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.” Even the story of Samson matches what is occurring now with the ancient and ongoing pattern of enmity: “… they brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters …” (Judges 16:21) continue reading
