A large part of ATEK's ministry involves training church leaders. Many times the pastor of a local church has very little Biblical education. ATEK offers regular training at its headquarters in Cusco. The objectives are to provide practical training in leadership of the Quechua church, train leaders in an integral way, and build sustainable churches with their trained pastors and leaders. Pastors and leaders of 36 churches have received training.
Inocencio (a local church leader) received a note from his child's teacher. Inocencio was very concerned so he hurried to the school.
When he arrived the teachers asked who the leader of his church was. He said, "I am." They said, "we want to congratulate you; your son and his friends are brave and understand clearly their faith. Most children in our Catholic custom worship a statue but your children told us that the Lord Jesus is not a statue, the Lord Jesus is alive and now he is together with his Father. That is why we do not worship a statue."
Inocencio's child and his friends were brave and the school has now decided to stop the tradition of worshipping statues in the name of Jesus.
