Published: WORSHIP
WORLD: Since its completion in 2009, pastors Emilio and Bethany Abreu have been trying to tackle some of the challenges presented by the Iglesia Centro Familiar de Adoración (CFA) church in Paraguay. Alongside the desire to be as sustainable as possible, their quest has led them to renew the original lighting equipment and install Robe LEDWash 1200s, MMX spots, and the new Pointe multi-purpose fixtures.
‘I conducted some research keeping in mind the requirements of this first purchasing stage of new equipment,’ said Jorge Miers, TV and multimedia director at the Iglesia CFA. ‘Together with Pastor Abreu and the administration board, and thanks to technical consultation with Guillermo Traverso – Robe Lighting’s regional sales manager for Latin America – we chose the Robe brand. Everyone embraced the idea of offering the highest level and quality of equipment and production values to give the best to the entire congregation.’
The new lighting setup includes 12 MMX Spots, 12 Pointes and 12 LEDWash 1200s. These have been used to light the main platform and stage that is used for hosting and presenting events, concerts and worship meetings.
Recently, the church was visited by ‘Funky’, a Christian music composer and singer from Puerto Rico, who used the new lighting setup for the first time. According to the church, it resulted in a huge impact made by the lightshow, with positive comments overwhelming the church’s social media channels.
‘During the concert and for several days afterwards, the congregation really noticed the new lighting setup at each service. It was brilliant to see the fixtures meet our needs 100 per cent,’ Mr Miers explained. ‘As a result of the new lighting installation the church can offer precision and perfection for all our music events and in the process create a perfect atmosphere to include the congregation as part of the preacher’s address.’
