A trade school is going in the new Villa Dolores church space. Passers-by in the street might see sparks flying and wonder why people are welding inside a church.

“You know Pete? I’m friends with Pete!” – it was this realization from two pastors of two different churches on two different continents that broke the ice between Pastor Fabian and Pastor Cody. Realizing they had a close friend in common despite being utter strangers was a great kick-off that led to deeper conversations and…

Seminario Bíblico William Carey (SBWC) was just three days away from a major conference in March 2020 and 3 weeks away from in-person classes when the Argentine government shut down the country.

Diego is a 32-year-old Seminary student who lives in Buenos Aires with his wife and two young kids. While some would call the director of Diego’s life coincidences, believers can see God’s control.

The conference topic was Biblical Counseling, and she felt significantly invested because she was halfway through her Psychology major at Córdoba National University. The speaker’s statement caught her off guard: the Bible is sufficient for all things, including…
