Women Trained to Grow and Empower

METAIRIE, LA. – On Sabbath, Aug. 23, at the New Orleans Metairie Spanish
Seventh-day Adventist Church, a special program was led by Yesenia Schupnik and the women’s ministries directors of the three churches in the district.

Thirty-one women received certificates and commemorative buttons for completing the seminars and summary of Camino a Cristo as part of the Hispanic women’s ministries program of the Arkansas-Louisiana Conference, titled “Rescued by Jesus.”

During the event, the newly certified women, along with other participants and guests, took part in an End It Now training—an activity held annually on the fourth Sabbath of August. The 2025 emphasis, promoted by the General Conference Women’s Ministries Department, focused on caring for the elderly and on preventing abuse.

The participants plan to continue highlighting End It Now in 2026.
