RMCNews with Sandra Montano – Denver, Colorado … The Rocky Mountain Conference’s (RMC) Aurora Las Aguilas Pathfinder Club has a relatively long history of participation in the North American Division-level (NAD) Pathfinder Bible Experience (PBE) with this being the sixth year in a row at the event.

To be eligible to participate in division-level testing that was held in Hawthorne, Florida, April 17-18, Pathfinder Club teams have to score a first-place ranking in the local, conference, and union-level testing events. The Las Aguilas Pathfinder Club joined the event virtually from the Wellness Support Center at the RMC Office in Denver, Colorado, with the over 260 other teams participating and being tested on the biblical book of Isaiah.

Joining the event virtually meant a very early morning for the team members, their families, and club leadership. The morning programming for the event started at 8:00 a.m. eastern daylight time, so the team had to be logged in, registered, and streaming by 6:00 a.m. Denver time.

There to support and facilitate the testing was Julie Lim, RMC Club Ministries North Metro area coordinator, who entered the team’s responses into the testing system, Sandra Montano, RMC Club Ministries training coordinator, Club Ministries volunteer Juan Carlos Montano, and the Las Aguilas Pathfinder Club’s director, Ines Salazar.

“We give thanks to God for the experience we shared during these months of study, work, and fellowship,” praised Salazar. “As a Club—and as parents—we look forward to seeing the eternal results in our Pathfinders that will reward their steadfastness and dedication to the Word of God. We pray, dear Pathfinders, that our Good God grants growth to the seed that has been sown in your hearts.”

The Las Aguilas Pathfinder Club team closed the event with a very respectable second-place ranking, showing up well prepared to test and in full uniform. Even though they were not able to attend in person, other adults present remarked that the team members still had a wonderful experience and were excited for the day’s activities.

“I want to tell Las Aguilas well done!” remarked Sandra Montano. “They are smart and dedicated Pathfinders, and I have seen all of them grow too fast spiritually and in height. I’m so proud of them for participating four times under the direction of the previous director Martinez and for the past 2 years with Ines Salazar. Keep up the good spirit and the participation. It was a privilege for Julie Lim, my husband Juan Carlos, and myself to have been there to help support the PBE.”
