Venezuela in Crisis

Victor Paez has observed the unfolding of the current humanitarian and political crisis unfold from its infancy.  Since 2016 Ohio farmers and members of the OARDC community have been providing material support and advice to Victor in a farming project intended to supplement the diet of seminary students and the church community as well as providing general support to the relief effort.  Victor will describe the origins of crisis and its impact on urban and rural dwellers.

Paez left his career as an electrical engineer to lead his local congregation, Iglesia Bautista de Vista Alegre in Caracas where he serves as lead Pastor today.  He also the founder and leader of the Seminario Bautista de Venezuela.
