Children Share Messages at Convocatoria Infantil

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Children from conference Spanish churches participated in “Convocatoria Infantil: Héroes de la Biblia” on April 11 at the Rio Grande Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Participants ages 4 to 16 presented short messages based on biblical figures including David, Esther, Daniel and Moses. Nineteen children participated, an increase from seven in 2024.

The event, which lasted approximately four hours, also included special music led by children. Participants demonstrated their developing public-speaking skills as they practiced communicating clearly and engaging with the audience. Each was introduced individually, allowing the audience to learn more about them.

Aracely Robles, wife of Rio Grande church’s pastor, reflected on the participants’ growth. “It was inspiring to see how the children’s demeanor changed,” she said. “Many began feeling nervous, shy or unsure, but as they shared their messages and received feedback, you could see a positive shift in their confidence. We gave them feedback on their interaction with the audience and highlighted the personal stories they included. We also intentionally encouraged them to continue serving and sharing God’s message in whatever way they are called to serve.”

More than just a program, this event provided an opportunity for young hearts to discover their voice, deepen their faith and recognize the gifts God has placed within them. The commitment shown by both the children and their families through weeks of preparation was evident throughout the day. 

The impact was evident in every giggle, every smile, every message and every step of courage taken, reminding all in attendance that God can use even the youngest voices to make a powerful difference.
