Our missionary partner and dear friend, Issa Vasquez, entered the Lord’s presence in July 2018. Please continue to pray for her husband, Carlos, while he adjusts to this difficult time in his life and continues to minister in the church plant in Hayward, CA.
It is our desire to encourage Hispanic ministry leaders in any way we can. At times we feel so inadequate to do so but we pray that our feeble efforts will help keep them be encouraged to continue serving the Lord in their ministries. Here we visited with a pastor and his wife in Georgia.
On March 10 we helped lead the NCHO (National Conference on Hispanic Outreach) Think Tank meeting in Castro Valley, CA. Over 100 attendees participated in this one day bilingual ministry event designed to encourage and equip Hispanic ministry leaders.
Another group of Hispanic believers in Paso Robles, CA have been without a pastor for several years. They are diligently seeking to find a bilingual pastor who can come and lead their ministry. We are praying for them and seeking to help in any way we can.
On Friday evening, March 9, Herb spoke at Iglesia Bíblica Bautista Vida Nueva in Castro Valley, CA. What a joy to share God’s Word in English or Spanish!
We are rejoicing that God has provided a pastor for the Spanish group that has been faithfully meeting for several years in Grover Beach, CA. What a joy that they will have a pastor to teach and lead them!! Here Herb is meeting with the leaders and their new pastor.
Many have prayed for the ministry of Carlos and Issa Vasquez who serve with BCP in Hayward, CA. They have faithfully served amidst ministry and physical challenges as Issa continues to battle cancer. We are grateful for their faithful love for and trust in the Lord as they serve!
We are so blessed to have some very special supporting churches and individuals. It is our joy to report to them and share how God is using their prayers and finances in this ministry of “Reaching Hispanics: Our Neighbors”.
