There could never be a more memorable event to conclude the “Called to Excellence”event than to celebrate the annual SENDAS graduation. God calls us to serve him with excellence and clearly, theological preparation is vital to all who desire to achieve success in life and ministry. Success, that simply embodies the phrase “to be in the center of God’s will.”

This past October 27, 2018, SENDAS celebrated its graduation and shared in the joy of the graduates. We rejoiced as a total of 20 students from different programs: Diploma, Bachelor and Master’s. Additionally we anticipate the graduation ceremony of 5 students in Oaxaca, Mexico, with students graduating with a Master’s degree in Family Guidance in December, and another graduation of 35 students in Cuba in January of 2019. This fills us with such satisfaction!

During the graduation service, Dr. Elias Betanzos preached about the call of God. Regional Director Dr. L. Carlos Saenz prayed for the graduates- that God would bless their lives and ministries. Recognition was given to Dr. Samuel Perez, to whom the 2018 graduation was dedicated, for his important contribution to the academic life of SENDAS. A second recognition was given to much-appreciated María Arcadia «Cony» Matamoros for her faithful work at SENDAS for over twenty years.

After the ceremony attendees shared a delicious dinner and a wonderful time of fellowship and celebration for the blessings received from the Lord.

We are so grateful to God for allowing SENDAS to excel in online education in Latin America as well as the United States among our Hispanic congregations.

We will meet again for the next graduation! The best is yet to come!
