Nepal and South Korea are now members of the Alliance World Fellowship, welcomed at the AWF Quadrennial Convocation in Guayaquil, Ecuador. The revised Statement of Faith and the Guayaquil Manifesto were approved amid a unifying atmosphere at the business sessions. The AWF officers for the next term were elected and all proposals were approved as presented.

God is using the pandemic for the global Alliance family to solidify its identify as the body of Christ and to work together visibly for the advancement of the kingdom of God. As the year comes to its end, I am grateful that the Lord has allowed us to work together on so many fronts to carry the message of Jesus Christ that brings hope and salvation to a world in despair.

In a year that was marked by civil demonstrations in many parts of the world, from Hong Kong to Santiago, Beirut, Paris, La Paz, Lima and Barcelona, there is a diffuse agenda but one clear message: people are hungry for justice, freedom and dignity.
