| Spanish Language Ministry Director in Arkansas | ||||||||||||
|
In 2006 Arkansas Home Mission Society (AHMS) arranged
for Rev. Pedro Ramirez to come to the United States from Costa Rica. Also
assisted by First GB Church, Heber Springs, and National Missions, Pedro
heads Hispanic ministries in Arkansas and is a resource for Hispanic
ministries to other mission boards. He is prospecting in different locations
with intentions of starting ESL classes or other projects hoping to reach
someone who could give leadership to a new nucleus of ministry. AHMS is
looking forward to planting several Hispanic works out of its several
associations. Pedro has been in ministerial work since 1978 as a missionary, preacher, evangelist, and Bible study leader in a university. He has taught theology, hermeneutics, New Testament, and ecclesiology. He has also pastored in Mexico. Pedro and Dollie have five children. | ||||||||||||
