Hispanic Ala. Baptists look to partner with Mich. Hispanics

There is a possible partnership on the horizon for Alabama Baptists — Hispanic Alabama Baptists that is. 

Reggie Quimby, director of the office of global missions for the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions, along with two Hispanic state Baptist pastors ­— Pablo Moscoso and Edwin Velez, traveled to Michigan to scope out possible future partnerships with Hispanic Michigan Baptist congregations Sept. 15–18.

The three men traveled around the state meeting with pastors and leaders of nine Hispanic congregations. Michigan only has about 10 Hispanic Baptist congregations, whereas Alabama has about 36.

Quimby believes the first step in partnering with these churches is through prayer and then secondly through going and working alongside them. He will be speaking at the Alabama Baptist Hispanic Fellowship’s (ABHF) annual meeting Nov. 15 and hopes to have several projects in the works by then.

Moscoso serves as president and Velez vice president of the ABHF. (TAB)
