What's Going On? August 2012

FROM REX MORGAN 
Reaching out to the Latin American World

Meet Maribel and Carlos Preciado!
Directors for the Spiritual Growth Workshop - Orlando, FL
Walking through the halls of the Rosen Hotel and  seeing the fellowship of Christian brothers and sisters hugging and greeting one another was delightful!

The 3 Amigos: Rex, Carlos Preciado, & Carlos Gonzalez

During the Spanish venue of the conference, the vibrant sound of over 300 people singing or watching a reenactment of the crucifixion of Christ could be experienced. Preachers from across the continent encouraged people to be proud of their faith in Christ and to reach out in love to their communities.  The theme of the workshop "Not Ashamed" was echoed in the classes and sermons.


30 years ago the first Spiritual Growth Workshop for the Churches of Christ, in Orlando, FL, was born.  The beginning years didn't include a Spanish program. The booming growth of Latino Christians in Florida gave birth to the first Spanish Program in 1990.  Since then, many wonderful Christ-filled people have enriched and encouraged the spirituality of the classes and fellowship.

This year Maribel and Carlos were officially chosen to direct and develop the future Spanish Spiritual Growth Workshop programs. Pray for them and for all the Christians who will assist them with this wonderful opportunity.

From Brenda and Rex, "Thank you everyone for making the 22 years as Director of the Spanish Program for the Spiritual Growth Workshop a success!"

But our citizenship is in heaven.  And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
Philippians 3:20 - 21
Our dream is to make the saving message of Jesus available to all who seek Him. We are working to accomplish this through the use of the media and partnerships with local churches of Christ and their ministries.
