American countries of Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela
was held in Guayaquil. This was the highlight
of the year for Ecuador being that it was their first time
to host a National Convention. The delegates for Ecuador were:
Juan Luis Aguirre and Alberto Carbo Medina from Guayaquil community
and Gayle Woolson and Guillermo Sotomayer from Quito. At the time
Ecuador still had only two local assemblies, four isolated centers
and only two new believers for the year.
