NELSON’S NOTES
by Nelson Galarraga

This past month has been a busy one. I have been traveling to Alabama, North Carolina and Tennessee, helping churches establish Hispanic ministries in their areas. It is so exiting to know how American churches are acknowledging more than ever the importance of planting Hispanic churches. For example, for the past four months, “The Christian Chronicle” has been publishing articles about how fast Hispanic churches are growing all over the U.S.

Meanwhile, we continue growing in the Metro Atlanta area, especially in Cobb County.
We have been developing different outreach programs for the summer and for the fall to identify prospects for the church here at South Cobb and at Smyrna. Please keep praying for us.
