In a first-of-its-kind event at the Kentucky-Tennessee Conference, Hispanic churches held an Evangelism Caravan from June 1 to June 9, 2024, ending at the Hispanic Camp Meeting with a total of 38 baptisms. The series, themed “Jesús Gana” (Jesus Wins), aimed to remind attendees of God’s triumph over sin and His invitation for believers to share in that victory.

The caravan featured guest speaker Gustavo Squarson, pastor at the Houston Northwest, Tex., Church. Each day, Squarson and Armando De León, Conference Hispanic ministries coordinator, traveled to a different district for the nightly meetings, covering a distance of more than 1,300 miles. The caravan aimed not only to inspire current church members, but also to welcome new individuals into God’s family.

“Overall, our main goal was to share a message of hope,” said De León. “We wanted everyone to understand that in life, when you allow God to shake you, move you, and disrupt your plans, you win because His plans are greater.”

The event’s success was evident as 38 individuals were baptized during the nine-day period. Notably, nine of these baptisms occurred at the Hispanic Camp Meeting. Church leaders expressed their satisfaction with the turnout, and Squarzon said he hopes the event continues to inspire churches to take part in evangelism.

“For me, churches should hold 52 evangelistic meetings, one for each week of the year,” said Squarzon. “Evangelism is not just a program you put together; it is the process through which God works in the lives of the people you touch throughout your life.”
