Cultivating Hispanic ministries & partnerships
Greg hosts Pastor Thelma from Nicaragua.
Blessed to be a blessing expresses God’s desire for humanity. Our Hispanic brothers and sisters have come to this country seeking economic blessing; and we get to share with them the greatest blessing . . . the love of God in Christ.
I partner with local churches to develop and launch Hispanic ministries within congregations. I also partner with churches to create short term mission programs overseas and create partnerships |
between the church in the United States and the church in Latin America. The mutual blessings that come from such efforts are phenomenal.
One of the greatest joys in being with our amigos from Latin America is experiencing how the Good News of Jesus transcends peoples, cultures, nationalities, languages and geography! When a young man from Chiapas, Mexico with dark skin and Mayan facial features trusts in Jesus to rescue him from his sins, new life comes just as it happens with all who trust in Christ! If we would see God’s sovereignty in the people movements around the planet, then the church would mobilize offering them Christ in word and action. 
Greg helped lead a pastors conference for the 24 Methodist churches in the Ciego de Ávila District, Cuba.

BUT OUR CITIZENSHIP IS IN HEAVEN. AND WE EAGERLY AWAIT A SAVIOR FROM THERE, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. ” “Porque nuestra ciudadanía está en los cielos, de donde también esperamos ardientemente al Salvador, el Señor Jesucristo. ” |
