REPORT: ABC Sampler in Latin America

A remarkable week of learning, fellowship and spiritual growth unfolded in Mexico City, Mexico from Sunday, Dec. 28, 2025 to Sunday, Jan. 4, 2026.

This pilot program served as an Ambassador Bible College-style educational sampler, giving students a rich taste of biblical study across a wide spectrum of topics. Sixty students traveled from across South America and the interior of Mexico to explore 27 subjects, including The Gospels, the Book of Revelation, General Epistles, the Epistles of Paul, archaeology, theology and apologetics. Each lesson was carefully crafted to provide both foundational understanding and practical insights, and a lively question-and-answer session that gave participants the chance to engage more deeply with the material.

The week was made extraordinary by the dedication and passion of the teaching team of Steve Myers, Darris McNeely, Mario Seiglie and Ben Light—who inspired students at every session. Beyond the classroom, meals shared at the Mexico City offices—breakfast, lunch and dinner prepared by our own members—became moments of fellowship, encouragement and connection, turning the program into more than just a series of lessons; it became a true spiritual family experience.

The Sabbath was a particularly memorable highlight, as nearly 100 people gathered for inspiring services, a delicious meal and an engaging Bible study. For many, it felt like a “second Feast of Tabernacles,” bridging cultures, languages and distances through the shared joy of God’s Word and strengthening the bonds of brotherhood.

This opportunity was more than just a teaching program—it was a living demonstration of the power of international collaboration. It equipped students, built unity and inspired a deep love for God’s Word in brethren who might not otherwise have such opportunities, fostering a passion for God’s teachings that transcends borders.

We are deeply grateful to God for His blessing on this program and to all who contributed, making this extraordinary educational and spiritual opportunity possible, and we look forward to seeing how God will continue to use programs like this to inspire, unite and equip His people around the world.
