Church Planting

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.

En este libro, el autor busca responder la pregunta: ¿qué necesitan aprender de la Biblia las personas de herencia hispana y trasfondo católico romano, después de recibir a Jesucristo como Salvador, para convertirse en discípulos comprometidos? Al utilizar un enfoque catecístico de preguntas y respuestas, este libro analizará los dogmas católicos que se basan en tradiciones y no en las Escrituras. El objetivo de este libro es involucrar a los hispanos en un discipulado centrado bíblicamente y contextualizado culturalmente que les permita ser miembros bien informados y espiritualmente activos de una iglesia que honra al Señor y sigue Sus enseñanzas.
