The week included devotions led by Steve Galegor, Jr., who works with Albanian immigrants in Clifton, N.J.; Dumont Cardichon, a Haitian pastor who oversees church planting in the Florida Haitian community; and Kevin Ong, director of the International House in San Francisco, Calif.

On Wednesday, Jay Bell, director of Internationals USA, shared about spiritual warfare and freedom in Christ. “When Jesus died on the cross, he completed two transactions,” he said, reading Colossians 2:8-15. “He covered our sins and He disarmed Satan and his angels.” He reminded the pastors of their place in Christ. “You may be here physically, but spiritually and judicially, you are seated with Jesus.”

The pastors brainstormed how to best work together to reach people for Christ and how to communicate their mission to the rest of the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches.

On one break, they drove a short distance to the rock formation for which Window Rock has been named. Nelson Betoney, father of Pastor Arnold Betoney, told about the Navajo Code Talkers of World War II and the history and traditions of the Navajo people.
