Woodburn Spanish Church Harvests Souls for Christ

By Félix Toribio, December 05, 2025

Woodburn Spanish Adventist Church hosted a powerful evangelistic event titled "Woodburn, Jesus Loves You." 

The event left a lasting impact on the community and in the hearts of those who participated. Led by Félix Toribio, Woodburn Hispanic district pastor, and Alejandro Bullón, world-renowned evangelist, the initiative showcased the dedication and commitment of the Oregon Conference church in Woodburn.

In February 2025, the Woodburn congregation began investing in their community's spiritual and social needs through Bible study, service and ongoing evangelism. Two months later, the fruits of their labor became evident when 17 individuals dedicated their lives to Jesus in an act of surrender and faith. This was just the beginning of a series of events that culminated in the evangelistic week.

From June 14–21, 2025, the church transformed into a center of hope and transformation. Toribio and Bullón delivered inspirational messages that touched the hearts of many, encouraging attendees to draw closer to God. Musical contributions were provided by Junior Kelly Marchena, Adventist musician whose talent and devotion added a special touch, elevating the spiritual experience of each meeting.

The evangelistic week concluded with an exciting baptism ceremony, during which 26 people committed their lives to Christ. Overall, 43 individuals chose to follow Jesus throughout the campaign, representing an actual spiritual harvest that reflects both God's faithfulness and the efforts of the entire Woodburn Spanish Church.

The work of the church does not end here. The community continues to be prepared for the coming harvest, with renewed enthusiasm and a firm commitment to continue sowing in the heart of their community.

This evangelistic event not only strengthened the faith of the participants, but also reaffirmed the church’s mission to share Jesus' love with everyone. Woodburn Spanish Church continues to advance with hope and confidence that God will continue to guide and bless their efforts.
