On September 19-21, pastors from around the country gathered for the 2024 Open Bible National Hispanic Conference, held in Antioch, California. Attendees of the conference numbered close to one hundred and represented nineteen different Open Bible churches. Templo Santo Community Church was the hosting church for the conference, and our theme was \u201cCHANGED: Transformed to Transform.\u201d We were blessed with the presence of powerful speakers: President Michael Nortune, Dr. Nicholas Venditti, and Pastors John Mendez, Michael Zakarian, and Caleb Plummer.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Church as a whole, the Open Bible denomination, and Hispanic Ministries are needed for such a time as this.<\/mark><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The conference started with a welcome dinner where pastors and leaders were able to reconnect with old friends and connect with new friends who were first-time attenders. We had a powerful night of worship during which President Nortune spoke a prophetic word about entering a new season. God has opened a wide door for Open Bible, and new opportunities are on the horizon for our ministries.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the following days, we heard challenging messages on embracing our vision (Dr. Venditti), navigating culturing changes (Pastor Mendez), loving and embracing the next generation (Pastors Zakarian and Plummer), and depending on the presence of God (President Nortune). In addition to these incredible sessions, we had the opportunity to explore the beautiful city of San Francisco and the surrounding areas.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our closing session, Pastor Mendez encouraged us that we were chosen for this time in history. The Church as a whole, the Open Bible denomination, and Hispanic Ministries are needed for such a time as this.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we concluded with a time for more fellowship, here are a few of the things we heard people saying:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We look forward to what God has in store for Open Bible\u2019s Hispanic Ministries. We believe that a door has been opened for our dream to come to life \u2013 having a Hispanic ministry in every state in this nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
