| Also, COICOM, a Latin American organization of Christian communicators, held its annual event, COICOM-Peru, July 1-3 in Lima, Peru. World Mission Broadcast (WMB) South America participated in the event, which drew more than 1,000 Christian communicators from Peru. An additional 25 radio stations (mostly from the interior of Peru) were added to the list of affiliates airing the WMB South America Region (SAM) programs. Peru radio partner Gustavo Perales, Sosa, Eunice Antón, host of "Impact Junín" in Huancayo, Peru, and WMB SAM team member Marcelo Fretes, joined regional Broadcast Coordinator Brian Utter at the event. Fretes delivered a presentation to the members of COICOM on the ministry of the Church of the Nazarene, while Radio del Pacifico and Radio La Luz, the two largest Christian radio stations in Lima, interviewed Utter. Utter was also invited by COICOM to present workshops during the COICOM international conference to be held in Guatemala this September. |

Lambert added, "The global Church of the Nazarene looks forward to having a great Portuguese language, liberal arts university in Brazil as a partner in the global system of Nazarene education."
In an interesting sidelight, Lambert also noted that, "The Church of the Nazarene celebrated its 50th anniversary by opening a new work in Brazil. Now, Brazilian Nazarenes will help the Church of the Nazarene celebrate its centennial by founding our first Portuguese language university."
