Scott Stargel from Global Publications participated in the event and contributed with housing and food for the participants.<\/p>\n<p>Regional Communications made audio and video recordings of the sessions.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. M\u00f3nica Mastronardi de Fern\u00e1ndez was the main speaker, and she led several of the workshops. She is a writer and the general editor for the Mesoamerica School of Leadership Program.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. El\u00edas Betanzos, pastor of the CAP Church of the Nazarene in Oaxaca, Mexico, shared a presentation via videoconference that spurred an active question and answer session.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Frank Moore, general editor of the denomination, also shared during the event.<\/p>\n<p>Three district superintendents attended: Rev. Sirlene Bustos, Rev. Mar\u00eda Antonia Ponce and Rev. Carlos de la Cruz.\u00a0 Regional Director Dr. L. Carlos S\u00e1enz and Costa Rica Ministry Coordinator Dr. Jorge Ba\u00f1os, and Regional Literature Coordinator Wilfredo Marciaga also attended. All of these distinguished participants participated in the presentations.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a8Just like in Oaxaca, God\u00b4s presence was real among us and reaffirmed we are in the correct route.\u00a0 Our desire is to form a regional network of Wesleyan writers and to remain in contact and permanent growth,\u201d said Dr. Rub\u00e9n Fern\u00e1ndez, Coordinator of Education and Pastoral Development.\u00a0 \u201cWe are grateful to God and to everyone who made this event possible. It was without a doubt a greatly enriching experience.\u00a0 Our goal is to bring this same event to the North Central Area.\u00a0 To God be the glory!\u00a8<\/p>\n<p>Source: Public Relations,
