Hispanic Ministries
Every summer, Hispanic church youth groups across Arizona unite to rejoice in faith, truth and Yuma’s famous monster tacos. The Unity Conference, held at Iglesia Cristiana Tierra Fertil in Yuma, is a vibrant, two-day event that serves as a home for Hispanic teenagers to come and worship in their own language, Spanglish. Every single detail Unity invests in caters to an atmosphere where faith and cultural identity unite. In 2024, Unity also offered a special gathering for parents to have their own mini-conference as well. Nearly 300 students and their parents attended the Unity Conference in 2024. Hispanic Ministries is under the direction of Josue Castro, the Arizona Mission Network’s Hispanic ministries facilitator. In addition to the Unity Conference, Josue is also involved in facilitating a number of training events for Spanish-speaking churches throughout the year. Hispanic Ministries is one of the eight ministries partially funded through the Arizona Mission Offering.
