ABC in focus - May 2021On a recent Sunday, the WMU group at Nueva Esperanza sold taco plates in order to raise funds for missions. As we sat around after the service eating tacos, one couple spoke up to describe how much we need these times of fellowship. Across all ethnic groups, the social isolation of the past year has produced a craving for companionship. This need is especially acute within the Hispanic community. Many Spanish-speaking folks are far from their extended families, and they feel isolated from the larger community around them. In that situation, one of the things we can offer them is Christian fellowship. Over the years, several folks who have come to know the Lord at Nueva Esperanza have described the important role that the church’s fellowship played in drawing them to hear the Gospel. As we begin to have more opportunities for fellowship, would you pray with me that we would plan events wisely and execute them well in order to strengthen the bonds of Christian love within and outside our congregation? As always, thank you for your prayers and support of ABC Regional Hispanic Ministries.
