EP 205 – Renewal and Partnership with Hispanic Churches

Hey there, Bootcampers! Say hello again to David Quiroa! He's joining us today to shed light on the unique challenges that Spanish-speaking churches are facing. Church renewal might be a buzzword, but it's still finding its footing in the Hispanic community. From declining youth engagement to a lack of awareness about revitalization, David spills the beans on what's happening. Psst, have you checked out his Spanish podcast Revive It's making waves across countries! Revive Podcast When Cultures Collide: Navigating Multi-Ethnic Partnerships Let's talk about multi-ethnic partnerships—especially in Spanish-speaking churches. David breaks down the intricate dynamics of churches sharing facilities and bridging cultures. Trust us, it's not as straightforward as it seems. We're diving into the nitty-gritty of these partnerships and understanding how respect and unity play a monumental role. Dreaming of a Multicultural Ministry Future The future is bright, Bootcampers! We're asking David about his vision for ministry in our beautifully diverse world. Brace yourselves for some inspiring thoughts. David envisions a Church that's a true reflection of the vibrant diversity we'll experience in heaven. With communities becoming melting pots of cultures, the Church needs to step up its game. David's got the golden advice on making everyone feel welcome and cherished. JimBo Stewart: [00:00:00] Here we are, back at the bootcamp. Back at it again. Bob. I hope you're ready for the next episode as we keep on checking through. when this episode releases, we will be what, uh, like a week away or less from the replant summit. Bob Bickford: Man, I'm excited about that. It's gonna be a great time and we're looking forward to seeing a lot of our listeners.
