On December 1, 2013, the Mexican Nazarene Seminary celebrated the graduation ceremony of 14 students, 13 obtained their bachelor’s degree in theology and one received a Masters of Religious Studies.

The celebration was held in the auditorium of the Center of Praise and Proclamation in Oaxaca, Mexico.

The event began with a time of worship, followed by the Word of God shared by Pastor Igna Suarez.

René Jiménez Guzmán, Field Strategy Coordinator of Mexico South; Obdulia  Martínez, Director of SENAMEX; Pastor Elias Betanzos Luis, District Superintendent of Oaxaca Norponiente district and Pastor Igna Suarez.
