Hispanic Baptist Laity Convocation

About 500 Hispanic Baptist Men from throughout Texas gathered at Highland Lakes Baptist Encampment near Austin for the Hispanic Baptist Convocation of the Laity. Roland Lopez (above, right), pastor of Northwest Hispanic Baptist Church in San Antonio, speaks about "Leadership for the Future" during the convocation. In addition to hearing several keynote speakers, participants were trained through a series of breakout sessions on topics including church planting, Royal Ambassadors ministries, disaster relief, leadership and music ministry. Coordinator Eli Rodriguez of Dallas said the convocation has met its goals for the year–to train more than 1,000 Baptist men and to help more than 100 churches structure their Brotherhood organizations.
