LATIN AMERICA OUTREACH ONLINE May-August 2024 | Page 25

in Asbury Seminary ’ s Latin America cohort for a master ’ s degree in leadership . SALAS is helping them with travel and lodging costs for the yearly onsite classes in Medellín , Colombia . The OMS Theological Education team is exploring regional faculty development opportunities for other SALAS professors and administrators . We are also pursuing ways to help SALAS schools access digital theological libraries , an important aspect of faculty development , course development , and accreditation .
“ Phase three ” will launch at the third regional gathering in Medellín this August . The theme is : “ What kind of Latin American church do we want to see in 2050 , and what kind of theological education will shape leaders for that kind of church ?” The gathering will be a joyous celebration of two major milestones : the 80 th anniversary of the FUSBC and the 70 th anniversary of the Bible Seminary of Londrina ( Brazil ). Please pray for the planning team , and intercede in a special way that visas will be granted for our Caribbean seminary leaders so they can participate in the event . We hope that three representatives from each seminary will be present , along with representatives from some of Asbury ’ s partner schools in the region .
