David Whitcher was the former Coordinator of Hispanic Ministries with Baptist Church Planters but due to becoming sick with carbon monoxide poisoning, he had to retire from serving in that position. We recently were able to visit with David and his wife, Melissa, in Forney, TX. We were thrilled to visit with them – rejoicing to see God’s grace sustaining them in their trial and praising the Lord for the joint burden we have for Hispanic ministries. We consider them as part of our ministry team!
We have new prayer cards . . . looking forward to sharing them with many so they can remember to pray for us in this ministry. We are eager to do our BEST for the Lord in all we do.
On Sunday, March 3 Herb preached (in Spanish) at Iglesia Bautista Calvario in Greer, SC. We pray that the Lord will use HIS Word in whatever language it is given.
This weekend Chris and Emy and their children (Jasmyne, Julie, Oscar and Joshua) from Iglesia Bautista Hispana in Waterloo, IA visited with us here in Greenville, SC. We sought to be an encouragement to them during a time of important decisions in their lives. We were thrilled to see them!
We rejoice that the Lord has given us over 27 years together to serve HIM! We are blessed.
On November 5-7 we ministered on the campus of Appalachian Bible College in Beckley, WV. Here Herb is explaining the ministry of Baptist Church Planters and especially the need of Reaching Hispanics here in the United States. We look forward to connecting with these students even more in the future. We want to encourage them to consider God’s leading in the field of Hispanic ministries.
Part of our ministry includes challenging churches, college students and other individuals to consider the need of “Reaching Hispanics: Our Neighbors”. Here Herb is talking to two students during the Missions Emphasis Week at Bob Jones University in Greenville, SC.
We recently participated in the Missions Emphasis Week at Bob Jones University. We were surprised when we arrived on campus and discovered that Wanda’s picture was on the front cover of the college newspaper. The picture was taken last year at the missions conference and was used to promote this year’s special week. It generated discussion on campus and it let students know that we were back this year for further challenge concerning missions in the United States.
