From November 29 until December 1, 2007, world renowned evangelist, author, pastor and founder of Teen Challenge Ministries, David Wilkerson, along with his son Gary, will host a conference for Salvadoran pastors and their spouses. The event is free for the pastors and promises to be an amazing opportunity for prayer, worship and developing unity and shared vision among the churches of El Salvador. Ron Bueno is directing an interdenominational team of Salvadoran leaders who are organizing the event and the ENLACE office has served as the logistical base for the conference planning. So far, there are more than 2,500 Salvadoran pastors and spouses signed-up for the event from nearly every Christian denomination in El Salvador!
“I’ve been an evangelist for many, many years,” said Daivd Wilkerson, speaking about the conferences which have been held all over the world. “Now after 15 years of pastoring, sharing the hurts and the pains, difficulties of the ministry as a pastor, I felt the Lord finally released me that I might have something to say. I’ve been preaching for 50 years and I’ve come to learn as well as to share. In all of our meetings to pastors, we’ve seen great encouragement, [in] many [pastors] who are hurting, many ready to quit the ministry, leave the pastorate. We’ve been praying that God would bring unity and this has been happening in the meetings. Pastors are getting together, real genuine Holy Ghost led unity… …See I’m in my seventies. I don’t have anything to prove to anybody. I’ve had all the honors a man can stand. I’ve been blessed, the Lord has preserved a good name for the ministry He has given to us. He has truly given me a heart and burden for pastors. And this has been birthed in prayers…”
