Dr. Ruben Fernandez, SENDAS President, Dr. Monica Fernandez, Vice President for Institutional Development and Shelley Webb, Public Relations Coordinator, spoke with the Presidents about SENDAS’ educational ministry, the campus and CALL (Christian Academy of Language and Learning), SENDAS’ Spanish language school.

After a short tour of campus, the group enjoyed coffee and fruit before continuing their travels in Costa Rica.

Dr. Loren P. Gresham, Chairman of the USA/CAN Council of Nazarene Institutions said, “Thank you so much for the warm hospitality extended to our North American Nazarene presidents during our recent visit to SENDAS. The tour of your campus was surprising to some of our group who had not been there before. It’s always encouraging to hear what creative ministries you have developed in the Mesoamerica Region.”

Dr. Dan Copp, Education Commissioner and Global Clergy Development Director in the Church of the Nazarene, also present with the group stated: “The presidents were very appreciative of the opportunity to get better acquainted with Dr. Ruben Fernandez and SENDAS. They were very impressed. I shared with them what a great team you are and how you lead our global church in video conferencing education. I look forward to the next opportunity I have to visit you at SENDAS.”

It was a privilege and blessing to have these distinguished leaders on our campus, and we look forward to continuing to partner together for educational purposes in the future.
