SBC offers Hispanic leaders training in Spanish

PHOENIX — More than 120 Hispanic Southern Baptists pastors and leaders participated in a joint training session in Spanish on June 13 in Phoenix.

The Southern Baptist Convention’s (SBC) “SBC Avanze Hispano” (SBC Hispanic Advance) was coordinated by Hispanic liaison staff of the International Mission Board, North American Mission Board (NAMB) and LifeWay Christian Resources.

Hispanic leaders presented two conferences for men and two for women on the topic of church transformation.

Arturo Nuñez, a NAMB church planter from Joplin, Mo., closed the training with a personal testimony.

The love of God has been made manifest in that community struck by disaster, Nuñez said. “The church plant is still going on.”
