An invitation to our annual Hispanic rally

At the recommendation of a Hispanic Task Force composed of leaders among Hispanics from throughout the state of Texas four years ago, a fellowship and inspirational rally was established for all Hispanics in Texas interested in the ministries of the SBTC. We have conducted an annual rally each year since then. Last year at Houston we had more than 450 present. Both Hispanics and Anglos enjoyed a beautiful program and fellowship.

This year the Hispanic Rally will be conducted in the Omni Bayfront Tower Hotel Nueces A Ballroom starting with refreshments at 6 p.m. The program will follow and consists of a mini-concert by Julio Arriola, originally from Guadalajara and presently living in Houston. His Steve Green similarity is awesome and will be enjoyed by all who attend. Additionally, a praise group from El Shadai Baptist Church in San Juan, Texas, will lead us in praise unto our Lord. We will hear from several local pastors in various parts of the program as well as from SBTC President George Harris, SBTC Executive Director Jim Richards, Kevy Rojas from the Southern Baptist Convention’s Annuity Board, and others.

We will also present the Special Service Award to a leading Texas Baptist Hispanic pastor for meritorious service to the Lord and the state through the SBTC. The public is invited. Several churches have informed us that they will dismiss their services to join us in that celebration. A number of English-Speaking brethren who will be in the area in advance of the annual meeting of the SBTC will be welcome at the rally.
