Spring 2012 Round of KOG Seminars Draws Dozens of Visitors in Bolivia

Posted on Sep 19, 2012 by Mario Seiglie

They had 38 new people attending the seminar, which was given at the Plaza Hotel in La Paz. They had a total of 54 people, and at the end of the presentation, the new people applauded. They had an active Q&A session afterwards. Many requested more literature, and some subscribed to The Good News in Spanish for the first time. The members commented that this second seminar, with the PowerPoint presentation translated into Spanish, was more effective than the first. The seminar was sent over the Internet where a number of subscribers and members were able to view it.

This has been very encouraging for the Bolivian brethren. To the right are some photos of Raul Machicao giving the seminar and of the attendees.
