Hispanic Ministries USA: Immigration

Of Hispanics living in the U.S., 62 percent are native-born citizens, and the remaining 38 percent are immigrants. Approximately half of the 38 million immigrants living in the United States are of Hispanic or Latino origin.

WGM’s outreach to Hispanics in the United States will focus on leadership training with the goal of starting more Hispanic churches. As Hispanic church leaders are trained, they will be able to take that spiritual foundation and leadership training with them. Whether they go to another state or return to their home countries, they can use their training to plant churches and lead others into the kingdom.

ACT: This is a ministry happening in your community and likely in your church. Start bridging the gap between cultures by inviting a Hispanic family in your neighborhood or church to have dinner with you this month.

Beginning at 8 a.m., WGM’s Prayer Lifeline will feature a recorded prayer for Hispanic Ministries USA. Call 671.7232 (Marion, Indiana, area) or 1.800.426.0846(toll free) to join the prayer intercession.

Spain: Immigration

In the last few years, the number of immigrants arriving in Spain has increased dramatically, and Spain now has the second-highest immigration rate in the European Union. In 2007, over 4 million foreign residents lived in Spain, including many from Morocco and Latin America.

Since a huge number of displaced people are looking to make Spain their home, WGM sees the need for those individuals to have a personal relationship with the Lord and a church body to support them in transition.

Has the Lord called you to serve in Spain with your church or Bible study group as part of a work team? Plan to lead a trip next year to Spain. Send your RSVP to Noritta Carter by calling 765-671-7204.

Each day, the WGM website will highlight a specific compassionate ministry. Come back often to learn more and to share your prayer for the field below.
