About 50 children and young adults attended the first pastors' kids retreat in the Guatemala North Verapaz District 4-5 August at the Nazarene Bible Institute in Cobán.

District Superintendent Francisco Cho believes the district should support this group due to some of the challenges they face at such a young age.

“[Pastors’ kids] require ‘special pastoral care,’” Cho said. “That begins in our district with this event through Nazarene Youth International. During this time, the young people were challenged to build their own story following the will of God. They had times of fellowship, fun, prayer, and worship.”

Cho also thanked Wilmer Ac, Wilmer’s wife, and Marlon Sep for their work with this district event.  

“The punctual coordination and creativity of [everyone involved] gave a special touch to the retreat,” Cho said. “We thank God for all of them.”

The district intends to follow throw with their commitment to spiritually support their pastors’ kids and are already planning the next retreat.
