Church Mission Is Contextual
- The local church must be contextual and adapt to the community God places it in, such as growing Spanish-speaking populations.
- Churches that fail to pivot toward demographic change risk decline, while adaptability enables mission effectiveness.
From Hurt To Calling
- Jonathan Bonilla left a church after being deeply hurt and vowed never to return, but God pursued him during a lonely year.
- He later returned to ministry, moved from Toronto to Texas, and launched TVC Español with his family to serve the Hispanic community.
How To Support TVC Español
- Support TVC Español by praying regularly and signing up for their newsletter for specific prayer items.
- Serve with the ministry even if you don't speak Spanish; simple hospitality such as greeting people in Spanish is enough to help.
