With 27 Hispanic Church Plants since 2010, Louisiana Baptists have almost doubled the number of Hispanic Churches in our state through church planting.

Guillermo Mangieri, with Istrouma en Espanol in Baton Rouge, recently shared Four Realities Impacting Hispanic Ministry in the US with our Church Planting Network:

1. Hispanics are the fastest growing population in the U.S. – 50 million. And the U.S. has the 2nd largest population in the world.

2. Hispanics are receptive to the message of the Gospel.

3. 23% of the Hispanic population in the U.S. are under the age of 18.

4. The Hispanic population will continue to grow in the U.S. no matter what.

In Baton Rouge alone, there are 17,000 Hispanics. 4% of the population.

Are there Hispanics in your community that could be reached? Are there enough Hispanic churches and ministries to impact the growing population in your community? Let us know if we can help you assess your community and strategize to reach different people groups around your church.
