Nebraska’s position in the center of the country bisected by Interstate 80 makes it a popular stop for Hispanic immigrants. Many of these immigrants find jobs in the meat packing industry in cities such as Grand Island. This provides a fertile mission field for the Nebraska District.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is shared with the Hispanics in the community through various ways. Cristo Cordero offers:

• Word and Sacrament Ministry
• Ministry of Music
• English as a Second Language
• Radio Ministry
• Hispanic Bible Studies
• Vacation Bible School

These means are used to bring people into the church and allow the staff to witness to the community. Different events are organized throughout the year to reach out to the community, including Christian concerts, garage sales, and informational conferences on relevant issues such as labor laws, immigration, and child education.

Please pray that this congregation continues to reach out to the Hispanic community in Grand Island and that lives are being touched.
