1st Virtual Ministerial Council 2011

The plan was ambitious and the purpose was clear: To connect all pastors throughout the Inter-American Division (IAD) territory to top church leaders via the internet to discuss ways of motivating church members to pray and study the Bible.

This first-ever virtual ministerial council, held Oct. 26 from the IAD headquarters in Miami, Florida, was part of the church's call to territory-wide spiritual revival, a call which has gathered momentum since the beginning of the year.

For two hours, some 3,000 district pastors and chaplains gathered in their respective regional conference or mission offices to hear top church leaders in Miami speak on spiritual revival and reformation, division-wide initiatives and new resources. Participants also engaged in a question and answer session.
