SRL SEMINARIAN IS NOW A PASTOR AT TENTH PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
In 1999, Dr. James M. Boice, then Pastor of Tenth Presbyterian Church, prayed with his congregation for Dr. Noé Acosta on the first SRL (then GTC) mission trip to Colombia. He encouraged Dr. Acosta to plant a Reformed Seminary in Bogotá. One of the students in that seminary was Enrique Leal (pictured at left) who now is serving as a pastor at Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, PA. SRL Board of Trustees is also grateful to this church for its faithful support from the beginning. Dr. Bruce McDowell, one of the pastors, served as Vice-President of the Board, professor, and missionary. He was instrumental in the formation of three PCA presbyteries in Colombia.

SRL 2019 Women’s Winter Conference in Medellín
Stacie Gibson, a Biblical Counselor, spoke on the topic of “Putting the Past in its Place.” The women’s encounter event took place on February 15-17. Monica Barnett served as translator. There were 225 women who attended. Stacie writes: The topic was very relevant to many of the women that struggle with forgiveness and are experiencing a lot of brokenness in their relationships. This conference pointed them to the truths of the Gospel and through Christ, they can experience reconciliation. We are grateful to Stacie and Monica for GOING to serve the women in Medellin through the SRL.
