Impact 2020 | Churches Unite Together in Mission and Service
Samuel Altez
January 24-25, 2020, the Spanish Tres Angeles Seventh-day Adventist Church in Laredo, Texas, hosted Impact 2020: Together In Our Mission.
The objective was to train the new church officers that have been selected to serve in their San Antonio-area churches this year. Francisco Pollock, Texas Conference associate treasurer, presented the general sessions as well as offered training for the new treasurers. San Antonio church pastors supported the event as instructors and trainers.
The first general session emphasized the importance of staying together as a church while following the example of Christ’s true leadership: to serve others. The Sabbath afternoon session focused on having a sound perspective on personal and church finances in order to honor God and finish His work soon.
The group then separated by departments to receive more detailed training. We want to acknowledge the large number of members who joined from the different area churches. We appreciated their enthusiasm as each instructor presented their class.
To close the event, we participated in a ceremony of commitment and devotion.
Finally, we all joined in a delicious meal of friendship and gratitude to our God for His plentiful blessings and assurance that the coming year will be one of victory for the honor and glory of His name.
