Christian Daily International's Spanish edition, Diario Cristiano, is now an associate member of the Alianza Evangélica Latina (AEL), a regional body uniting national evangelical alliances in 22 countries with more than 465,200 local churches.

AEL formally welcomed the outlet at its General Assembly, Oct. 12-16 in San José, Costa Rica, where Diario Cristiano presented its work to national alliance presidents. Membership gives the newsroom direct contact with alliance leaders and church networks in every member country, and its staff will work with two AEL commissions and train church communicators.

AEL President Juan Cruz Cellamare backed the application. CDI's Latin America editor Javier Bolaños called the membership "both an honor and a profound responsibility."
