Over four years ago, two pastors in Argentina began a fraternal relationship with Global Partners-Latin America through a ministerial relationship of The Wesleyan Church in Chile, South America. Recently, Pastors Ivan Shilling and Daniel Soaire and the 15 congregations they represent were awarded full affiliation with The Wesleyan Church via Global Partners-Latin America. A special celebration took place in Bogota, Colombia, during the II Latin American Missions Assembly, on October 6, 2006, with approximately 500 people present.  Pictured L to R: Pastor Carlos Martinez, DS of TWC in Chile; Ivan Shilling, Pastor in South Argentina, the city of Trelew; Rick West, Area Director-Latin America; Daniel Soaire, Pastor in North Argentina, the city of Tucuman; Pastor Benjamin, Galarce, DS in Puerto Rico.
