Special Missions Speaker: Ketly and Vital Pierre from Nicaragua.
Ketly and Vital serve on the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua to strengthen local churches and encourage existing churches to plant
new congregations. They lead and coordinate seminars and workshops to empower pastors and leaders learn how to strengthen
the ministries
in their local churches. Through an holistic, "hands on" endeavor, they walk and work alongside with people as they
build relationships and establish trust. They also educate local churches against drug abuse and drug trafficking. Ketly & Vital also
serve as a link with American Baptist churches in the U.S. as they match mission teams with local Nicaraguan ministries according
to where they would be the most effective.
Special Music by Sharon Harrington, piano
Sharon began taking piano lessons when she was five years old, and studied both classical and sacred music. When she was in
seventh grade, the organist at Elim Baptist in Rockford, IL, encouraged her to start playing regularly for church, and coached her in
accompanying hymns. During high school, after her family moved to California, she served briefly as the church pianist for Sunnyside
Baptist in Fresno, CA. She attended Biola University, and enjoyed accompanying several student-led ensembles and playing occasionally
for official functions of the Torrey Honors Institute. Sharon currently teaches
literature classes online for a supplementary
education program.
