Day 6

When Guillermo and Gennie Aguirre heard that a church in LaRose, Louisiana, had been without a pastor for a year, they instantly remembered the difficulty of being part of a church without a pastor. “God touched me and my husband,” Gennie recalls, “and we said ‘Yes, let’s go there and help these people.’” They began their ministry by leading discipleship groups, and after a time, the church voted to call Guillermo as pastor.

Iglesia Bautista El Buen Pastor is a replant of a Hispanic mission church. With a new building and a new location, the congregation has grown from eight members and very few children and youth to fifty members with several children and youth! Because their church’s mission is to spread the Word of God to everyone around them, members are happy to evangelize the community.

Your gifts to the Georgia Barnette Louisiana Missions Offering help support Guillermo, who currently serves as a bi-vocational pastor. Five cities surround Iglesia Bautista El Buen Pastor’s new location, so the Aguirres are certain God will continue to move in their church as they work to reach those who don’t have a relationship with Christ.
