this is represented by three main ministries, complimented by a number of
smaller ministries, serving Latin America.
Main Ministries:
Apoyo
Bible Institute of the Air
Christian Centre
of Communications (CCC)
Additional Ministries:
-
Eduadis: A distance education is being
developed. Plans are to work with partners to deliver education on video via
satellite to downlinks in major Latin American cities. A pilot programme is being
run by offering two courses (Life of Christ and Biblical Foundations for
Marriage and the Family) via HCJB Global's education website (Spanish) . Response has
been higher than expected, and more courses will be added.

Annual conferences (jornadas): Events cover the
mass media, theology and healthcare from a pastoral approach.

Ideas Propias y Ajenas (Leadership, Ideas of My Own and Others) written by José

Pastoral Work with Families) is being written.
