ABC in focus - August 2024What can I do to reach out to Hispanics? You may have asked yourself that question. The truth is that there are many ways to show Christ’s love to Hispanics in your community. You may think that the language barrier is a huge problem, but that isn’t true. For example, many Hispanic children and young people are fluent in English. Consider inviting them to VBS or Sunday school. Children, however, may need help in school. Could you volunteer as a Reading Buddy or tutor for a Hispanic child? Thirty minutes a week could make a huge difference in their academic success because their parents may not be able to help them with homework. Many adults speak a bit of English. Try saying “Hello” and see how far you can get in having a conversation. Last but not least, pray for Hispanic folks in your community. Ask the Lord to open doors for ministry to them. Most effective ministry begins with prayer.
