It is part of CEHILA's (the Commission for the Study of the History of the Church in Latin America and the Caribbean) effort to write church history from the perspective of those who have had no voice, those who have not been allowed to reflect on their own history. It serves as a call to gather more snapshots of Latino Protestantism, to organize these portraits according to different interpretive schemes, to analyze the photos with their historical contexts in mind, and to utilize these results to challenge the traditional ways in which the history of Christianity in the United States is generally told. This book is proof that there are women and men in the Protestant Latino church in the United States with the ability to carry out these tasks. Yet an exhaustive history of Latino Protestantism in the United States is still missing. The Latino Protestant community needs people to rise up and interpret within wider contexts the stories told in this volume and elsewhere. Telling our stories is both a testimony that God has been present in our pilgrimage and a confession regarding the future. The same God who accompanied us this far will remain among us. Thus, we will keep collecting portraits and preparing to take new snapshots of whatever God may do in the future. Our photo album closes at a dynamic moment for Latino Protestant churches in the United States. From many different perspectives, the authors of this book present a growing, enthusiastic church ready to serve the Lord. The portraits show how much has been done and yet how much remains to do. There are many more stories to tell.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50384559472913,"sku":"CIN1606082701G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52689858822417,"sku":"NLS9781606082706","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1606082701.jpg?v=1751214613"},{"product_id":"walk-with-the-people-book-juan-francisco-martinez-9781498299343","title":"Walk with the People","description":"The growth and religious commitment of the Latino community in the U.S. presents a unique set of challenges for pastors in that community. Walk with the People: Latino Ministry in the United States identifies and analyzes the contemporary challenges facing Latino churches in the U.S. and some of the issues they are likely to face in the future. Latino pastors and others working in the community need to understand and grapple with these challenges. As the Latino community continues to grow and diversify, effective church leaders in Latino congregations will need to retool their ministries to address these changes. An excellent and far-ranging introduction to Protestant Latino ministries in the United States, combining theory with practice, demographic data with theological perspicacity, and historical background with attention to the present challenges and opportunities. --Justo L. Gonzalez, author of Manana: Christian Theology from a Hispanic Perspective After reviewing where the Latino church was twenty years ago when I wrote The Hispanic Challenge, and now examining the work of Juan Martinez, I found his book extremely encouraging and helpful in assisting the Latino church in this globalized society. The sociology of religion and the actual issues related to assimilation and adaptation will help the church in North America to be much more missiological as it engages the twenty-first century. I highly recommend this book to both Latino and non-Latino churches. --Manuel Ortiz, Westminister Theological Seminary Hispanic Evangelicals continue in their struggle to define themselves and educate other in the process. This book will bring greater clarity  about] who we are and the enormous potential of our contribution. --Dan de Leon Sr., Pastor, Templo Calvario, Inc. Now that Hispanics have become the largest minority group in America, this book could not be more timely. Walk with the People provides valuable insights and tools for a great understanding of the complexity of our Hispanic culture and leadership. The data presented in this book is not only essential but indispensable. It is a must-read book for leaders, teachers, students, and scholars. --Sergio Navarrete, Superintendent, Southern Pacific Latin American District of the Assemblies of God Juan Francisco Martinez is professor of Hispanic studies and pastoral leadership in the School of Theology of Fuller Theological Seminary. Among other topics, his research focuses on the history of Latino Protestantism, Latino Protestant identity, ministry in Latino Protestant churches, Latino and Latin American Anabaptists, and migration and transnational identity formation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50387491815697,"sku":"CIN1498299342G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51030880059665,"sku":"NIN9781498299343","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52148279017745,"sku":"NLS9781498299343","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1498299342.jpg?v=1750989543"},{"product_id":"what-is-god-s-mission-in-the-world-and-how-do-we-join-it-book-juan-francisco-martinez-9781513805665","title":"What Is God's Mission in the World and How Do We Join It?","description":"What does God's mission look like?

Martínez helps readers understand what mission means, why Christians in the past have made missteps, and how we can learn from Christian communities that are spreading the good news of Jesus today.

A los latinos muchas veces se les ve como un grupo mono-cultural, sin embargo las diferencias dentro de la comunidad son signficativas. Las iglesias que quieren servir a los latinos necesitan entender la diversidad dentro de la categoria latino si han de servir eficazmente a esta poblacion. Caminando entre el pueblo describe la diversidad latina y le ofrece a los lectores consejos practicos sobre como compartir las buenas nuevas del evangelio y formar comunidades de fe. El libro repasa como los protestantes se han relacionado con latinos en el pasado, enumera algunos de los recursos claves dentro de la comunidad que fortalecen el ministerio y describe algunas de las maneras en que los latinos ya estan sirviendo a su propia comunidad. Tambien hay una seccion sobre el ministerio a la juventud latina y visiones de los que podria ser el ministerio latino en el futuro. Caminando entre el pueblo describe una manera de hacer ministerio en la comunidad latina que asume que servimos a otros en nombre de Jesus cuando caminamos con ellos en medio de sus vidas y luchas.
