Spanish Ministry

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

Wow, what a great week for our church! Our church voted overwhelmingly this week to launch a Spanish Mission here at Delaney Street Baptist Church. Spanish-speaking services will begin this Sunday, September 20.

Dr. Fernando Abella, a Southern Baptist pastor and former missionary to Puerto Rico with the International Mission Board, will serve as pastor of our mission. Brother Abella has a powerful testimony of conversion to Christ in his native Cuba. Already he has a group of approximately 50 people in his new church. Last Sunday they had 73 meeting in a house!

We are excited about what God is doing in reaching the Hispanic community here in Central Florida, and we are glad to be a part of it! With support from the Greater Orlando Baptist Association and the Florida Baptist Convention, we consider it a privilege and an honor to host this new Spanish Mission.

Jesus said, “Go into the highways and the byways and compel them to come in that My house may be full!” Every soul is precious to the Lord. God is calling a people out of every nationality, race and ethnicity. Revelation 5:9

VBS Finale

Friday, June 12th, 2009

What a wonderful Vacation Bible School we had! With countless workers serving under the direction of Dana Christakos, we had 295 students enrolled this week. We saw 23 children make a public decision for salvation, and our total VBS offering for missions was just over $890! To God be the glory! Being still fairly new at this church, I can praise the members of this church for an extraordinary commitment to VBS. We truly had a great week. The SBC “Boomerang Express” theme is outstanding. Our kids learned much and were drawn closer to the Lord Jesus! And we had fun, too.
