EFCA Eastern District - Churches Without Walls

Hispanic Mission

The purpose of this ministry is to develop an Hispanic identity within the district that will reach this growing and significant population with the hope of the Gospel. The number of churches desiring to expand ministry to Hispanic populations around them grows every year.

Lorenzo and Betsy Meson are the lead contact for the Mission. They function as a team, share a passion for ministry and exhibit great chemistry with the Evangelical Free Church. Once people know there is a point person there for them, the network of relationships expands. This has happened with the Hispanic pastors in our district and those outside of our district.

The Hispanic Mission is focusing its energies on four strategic initiatives at present:

  1. Developing an annual Hispanic Celebration Event that allows churches to experience Hispanic and Anglo worship, hear a sermon by a Hispanic Pastor, attend workshops dealing with a variety of topics and, of course, sample Hispanic cuisine and fellowship.
     
  2. Church planting and training: Marcos Solt is our Hispanic Gateway director and does a great job teaching our pastors and future pastors. Lorenzo and Betsy mentor the church planters and work with our District Leadership Team. Peter Johnson in assessing and developing potential church plants in our district.
     
  3. Communication: We are developing a Hispanic Mission website for the telling of the stories of what is happening among Hispanic ministry throughout our district. Click here to visit the Hispanic Ministries website!
     
  4. Working with churches who wish to get involved in partnering opportunities. God has blessed our district through the Eastern District EFCA Foundation with a wonderful beginning to Hispanic ministry. We now have a wonderful core of Hispanic pastors and leaders that we believe are being used of God to share the good news of the Gospel with these precious people that God loves so much.
