On Sunday afternoon, October 27 we had . . . una Fiesta del Otoño (Fall Festival) at Iglesia Bautista Calvario de Greer, SC. When we are not traveling in our ministry, we assist in this Spanish church plant. Here Horacio and Marcos are leading the song time before the Scriptural challenge. The afternoon was filled with lots of games, hay rides, food (physically and spiritually) and of course, concluded with piñatas.
Here are the goals for each of our church plants with Baptist Church Planters. We presently have 27 church plants that are “in progress” seeking to establish a local Baptist church.
On August 16-17 we had a Hispanic Retreat in Clear Lake, IA. We rejoice that 110 attended the special ministry weekend. We are grateful for the practical, Biblical teaching of God’s Word from Dr. Jose Talavera from Hayward, CA.
When we aren’t traveling, we have been ministering at Iglesia Bautista el Calvario in Greer, SC. What a joy it is to minister in both English and Spanish.
In May 2013, Música de la Fe, a ministry of Iglesia Bautista de la Fe (Faith Baptist Church) in Greenville, SC, celebrated 10 years of ministry. This music ministry has produced 4 quality CDs in Spanish. Visit our website www.reachinghispanics.com to find out more information on these cds.
Hermanos en Cristo . . . or brothers in Christ. Willie, Pastor Vasquez and Herb are friends and brothers in Christ and we look forward to how our lives serve together in the future.
While visiting Iglesia Biblica la Roca in Hayward, CA we smiled when Willie opened the service by saying, “Bienvenidos everyone!” How’s that for being bilingual? Bienvenidos mean “welcome” in Spanish . . . so he just said “Welcome everyone” bilingually. It worked – we all understood!
