Hispanic director committee created
DALLAS—The Baptist General Convention of Texas is forming a committee to help select a director of Hispanic ministries.
The committee will help Chief Operating Officer/ Associate Executive Director Ron Gunter choose a permanent director of Hispanic ministries. Frank Palos serves as interim director.
The committee will consist of the three current officers of the Hispanic Baptist Convention of Texas—President Alcides Guajardo, First Vice President Javier Elizondo and Second Vice President Roberto Rodriguez—plus the three officers who will be elected Hispanic Baptist Convention officers this month.
The committee also includes Isaac Rodriguez, pastor of Iglesia Bautista Segunda in Corpus Christi, and Antonio Gamiochipi, director of missions of the Latin American Baptist Association.
An agreement between the Hispanic Baptist Convention and the BGCT calls for Convencion officers to recommend people to serve as director of BGCT Hispanic ministries. This committee enables further involvement of Hispanic Texas Baptists and gives them the opportunity to have a stronger influence in the process, Gunter said.
“This hiring process is critical to the future of the BGCT,” he said. “We will work together to find the best person to serve the diverse and growing Hispanic population in Texas.”
