Idaho Conference Welcomes 40+ New Hispanic Members

Carolann De León
By Carolann De León, December 22, 2021

Despite the cloud of COVID-19 still hanging over our churches, more than 40 individuals have been accepted into several Hispanic churches in the Idaho Conference.

The baptisms and professions of faith are the result of local Hispanic members, elders and visiting evangelists working together to share Jesus. Their efforts are part of the conference mission initiative called Operation Exponential Growth.

During this past year, under the leadership of Pastor Gerald Margil, conference Hispanic coordinator and Treasure Valley district pastor, several Hispanic church elders accepted the challenge to preach an evangelistic series. Each was granted ecclesiastic privileges by the conference to baptize those with which they personally studied.   

It has been inspiring to witness our Hispanic members joining God's call to share the good news. Let’s continue to pray for our Idaho conference family as they continue to share the gospel of Jesus Christ in their circles of influence. Please pray also for the next series of meetings scheduled for spring 2022.
