PLANTING CHURCHES TO REACH HISPANICS

Alcanzando Hispanos Plantando Iglesias

Introduction

The simplicity of how to reach Hispanics to plant churches is perhaps the

most effective to have success
When we talk about Hispanics in general, we would have to describe a great
diversity that would be one of the greatest challenges we have, because knowing
its diversity would make us more effective in the techniques, we must use to plant
a Hispanic Church, not only in SC but in the USA. This will warn us that we
should not use the same strategy with all nationalities or groups, because they are
actually very different from each other. What we have in America is a bouquet of
different contexts, accents, customs, purposes, which also leads us to a bouquet of
opportunities, to enlarge the Kingdom of Jesus.
It's like remembering in small scale Revelation 7 “Diversity”

I think that diversity is bringing a great blessing to America, and that's the second
generation. They love hamburgers and pizza but they never say no to a taco, or
rice and beans. Two languages instead of one, great blessing to reach that second
generation, that really feels better among the Anglo world while still loving the
Hispanic. That means that we are reaching different segments with Hispanics,
which generates implications of learning, to deal with them, to lead them to faith in
Jesus our Lord. There is an opportunity right, here right now.
Demography tell us in SC:

TRAINING CENTERS FOR CHURCH PLANTERS AND PASTORS

We are developing in 2 -3 and 4 years leadership with healthy doctrine and
development of the leader's vision for each geography.
(4 modules with teaching from Certificate, bachelor, up to Master)
BTCP - LBU - MWBTS

GUIDANCE FOR DEVELOPMENT

We want to be right by your side, to guide our Anglo churches in every move
necessary, to take safe steps and achieve the development we seek.
CONNECTING
Very receptive community, Hispanics are a religious and emotional community by
nature, reaching them with the truth is actually easier perhaps than other
ethnicities, because the Hispanic community has a common denominator with
Christianity and it is Jesus. Hispanics are receptive population, growing
population, very dispersed population, and youthful population.
