Welcome to Orlando

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

We welcome thousands of Southern Baptists to Orlando this week — with our Crossover Orlando 2010 events, followed by the Pastors’ Conference and the annual meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention.

For those of us who are a part of the Greater Orlando Baptist Association, we have been planning for a full year. It seems hard to believe this week has arrived. We believe we have the best Baptist association director in America in Bill Faulkner. Under his leadership, we have had a great team put everything together.

Now we are trusting God to bless all of our efforts. We especially look forward to some great speakers like pastors Ken Whitten and Andy Stanley in this coming week!

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
