A group of 50 pastors, their wives and children, recently gathered at Lake Tiak-O’Khata for the annual Mississippi Baptist Hispanic Pastors and Wives Retreat. Amid a turbulent season of ministry, the retreat offered the families necessary spiritual rest and replenishment which derives from refreshing fellowship with like-minded brothers and sisters in Christ.
Over the weekend (March 7–8), the men and women were led by returning guest speaker Samuel Garcia, from the Hispanic Ministry of Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis, Tennessee, in a study on “Obstacles in Ministry,” from Exodus 18:17–18.
Last year, without childcare volunteers, mothers struggled to fully participate in the sessions. This year, however, the problem was resolved when family Modestino and Bessy Romano, and daughter Marysol, offered to serve in childcare, and their service was greatly appreciated.
