Georgia Barnette Mission Offering for Louisiana
Day 7 – Forest Hispanic Mission
“…for we are laborers together with God.” 1 Corinthians 3:9
The last phrase of Matthew 28:19-20, “…lo I am with you always, even to the end of the world,” reminds us that we are not alone as we take our part in the Great Commission. Paul uses the word “together” to remind us that we do not work alone.
Two reasons Pastor Isidro Hernandez and Director of Missions Jay Morgan serve at Forest Hispanic Mission are the growing Hispanic population in our state and their love for the Lord’s people.
The work at Forest began as a ministry to a large group of Hispanic farm workers, and it grew into a church plant. There are needs for Bible studies, programs for women and children, equipment, materials and supplies. Discipleship is important because the people come for a while, then they often go to a job in another state or even to another country.
Bro. Hernandez and the people of Bayou Macon and Madison associations know the importance of “together” in this ministry. Louisiana Baptists, through the Georgia Barnette State Missions Offering are part of this partnership also. While our gifts are important to this and other language works, so are volunteering and praying.
- Thank God for those who serve Hispanic congregations throughout our state.
- Pray for the lost people to come and for many opportunities to teach and disciple.
- Pray for the economic situations that tend to have priority in the lives of people who need ministry at Forest. Pray that as their needs are met, there will be opportunities to share Christ.
As a person who sometimes worries too much, I got both a reminder and a laugh from this:
