Staff and students at the SEL (Lima Evangelical Seminary) took the day off on Tuesday (30th March) to celebrate Dr Donald Smith’s 60th birthday. Donnie, who was brought up in the Drumchapel Free Church congregation, went as a Free Church missionary to Peru in 1977, ministering first in the Cajamarca region, before moving to Lima, where he has taught Church History at the SEL for 23 years. He was Moderator of the Free Church General Assembly in 2006. Donald is married to Julia, a native Peruvian and they have two children, Alex (30) and Catriona (28), who travelled to Lima last week for the occasion. We congratulate him and continue to pray for his work at the Seminary.
