Hispanic Ministries Rejoices in 190 Baptisms

Hispanic ministries in Oklahoma have been active with an evangelism series across the state. These series, along with the dedicated work of our pastors and members, have brought in 190 baptisms to date.

In October, six Tulsa-area churches celebrated an evangelistic campaign titled Más Esperanza (More Hope). Four evangelists participated in the initiative led by the Southwestern Union and the Oklahoma Conference. The participating churches were Bixby Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church, Broken Arrow Seventh-day Adventist Church, Tulsa Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church, Garnett Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church, Independence Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church and New Haven Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church. Pastors Moses Kindeland, José Camacho and Leo Castillo partnered to plan this series, resulting in 24 people giving their lives to Christ through baptism.

To conclude this reaping series and celebrate the work God has done in the lives of those baptized, church members, community members and meeting attendees gathered for Día de la Hispanidad (Hispanic Day), which featured a concert by the Southwestern Adventist University orchestra; traditional foods from Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia, Chile and Peru; games (including a costume contest); and abundant joy. This celebration welcomed many visitors from the community, and we pray that Día de la Hispanidad was the first step for these guests in discovering Christ’s love.

We thank God for His blessings!
