The explosive growth and rapid expansion of the Hispanic
population is transforming the social, economic, and religious panorama
of America. Hispanic Americans are now the largest minority group in
America and are projected to comprise one fourth of the American
population by the year 2050. According to a the latest Census Bureau
report, “the U.S. Hispanic population passed the 42 million mark and
accounted for half of the growth of the US population since 2000,
indicating that the nation’s largest minority group is increasing its
presence even faster than in the previous decade.”
This book analyzes these realities and explores their implications for
leading Hispanics to a personal experience of salvation in Jesus Christ,
establishing biblically sound, culturally relevant, reproducing congregations
among them, enabling these congregations to
experience healthy growth and meaningful ministry
in their communities, and encouraging them to
participate in the implementation of the Great
Commission by sending Hispanic missionaries to
highly strategic parts of the world.

In the challenge of this new Apostolic Age, this book, Starting Reproducing Congregations, Second Edition presents an expanded and updated discussion of biblically sound principles, logically developed procedures, culturally appropriate means, and innovative, practical methodologies that can enable church starters to design effective strategies to start and multiply congregations in the USA and around the world.

This Workbook contains activities and guides to help church starters and church-starting teams actually prepare a strategy for planting a new congregation. The authors created the workbook to guide in the use of the standard textbook, Starting New Congregations.

Sharing the Good News with Roman Catholic Friends outlines the biblical doctrine of salvation and indicates how this message can and should be communicated with persons in the Roman Catholic tradition. The primary audiences are Evangelical Christians who desire to share the Gospel with Roman Catholics, evangelical Christians who are former Roman Catholics, and nominal Roman Catholics who have not experienced the personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The authors point to Jesus Christ who alone is the source of eternal life.

Gospel in the Rosary: Bible Study on the Mysteries of Christ focuses on the Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries that relate closely to the life of Jesus and that are clearly presented in the Bible.

Worldview: Implications for Missionary Work guides readers through the understanding of the meaning and functions of worldview among the peoples of the world. After an investigation of the animistic, syncreticist, monotheistic, and postmodern worldviews, the book suggests ways of witnessing and ministering to those who hold these various beliefs.

This workbook was written by the author to enable the readers to reflect on the worldviews that are discussed in the companion book and to develop contextualized strategies for communicating the gospel message, discipling the believers, and encouraging them to form biblically sound congregations. The exercises in the workbook have the goal of enabling the readers to analyze specific worldviews and compare them with basic concepts in the Christian worldview. This will make it possible for the readers to identify the bridges as well as the barriers that exist between the worldview of a specific cultural group and the Christian worldview. The strategy that is developed, therefore, will seek to find ways to overcome the barriers and utilize the existing bridges for effective inter-cultural ministry.

A novel presentation of a growing interest in how to respond or engage a person in exchange of life stories, first as a compassionate listener, and then a relational sharing of one’s own story, followed by an appropriate expression of God’s Story as it applies to one’s life. The book draws on the personal experiences of both Sanchez in his travel encounters and Terry in suggesting how the events in one’s own Lifestory can aid in identifying with another person. The book concludes with some suggested Bible stories as a resource that speaks to different life needs and themes.
