Spanish Ministry at FBBC
Approximately 4 years ago the Lord began to deal with me about beginning a Spanish ministry here at FBBC. I have prayed about this truly seeking the Lord's full direction for the initial questions I had...the "who, what, when, where" type of questions. The Lord began giving me direction and filling in all the blanks I had in my mind and heart. This past year was really the year the Lord began to completely put all the pieces together. I praise the Lord for His guiding me in every step of the way. He has ordered my steps for this entire journey.
Two months ago we began handing out invitations and John and Romans in Spanish in the heavily Spanish speaking areas of Bristol and New Britain. They were well received. We also had pocket sized Spanish invitations printed. During the last several weeks I had run into so many Spanish speaking folks every where I went. I was able to give the invitations out to very receptive hands. We were doing all we could to follow the Lords direction for this new ministry.
The start date was last Sunday, January 8th. We have prayed, we have worked and invited, and now it was the first service. Saturday, January 7 I received a phone call from a man who received a tract from our church as well as a Spanish invitation tract. He said he wanted to come to church but he needed a ride. He also said there were several Spanish folks who also wanted a ride to church. I told him we would pick them up. I called Harry that Saturday afternoon and he immediately went to visit those folks. Sunday morning Harry and his wife took one of the church vans and brought those folks to church. Brother Harry Torres and his wife, Estella were excited, we as a church were excited to see what the Lord was going to do as we began this new ministry. Well, praise the Lord, we had a class of 9 show up! Each of them were genuinely excited to be in the church for the Spanish Sunday School Class. They came out of that class all smiles. The man who called me that Saturday also came, brought a friend and they both sat in my Sunday School class (as they both spoke English). They all stayed for the morning service and sat together in the church. At the conclusion of the service three of them came forward for salvation! WOO! HOO! GLORY TO GOD!
Please be in pray for the Torres' and for FBBC as we go forward in this ministry reaching the Spanish speaking community here in our Jerusalem for the Lord.
