SOUTH TEXAS SCHOOL OF CHURCH STARTING
Success Story

The South Texas School of Church Stating has been a blessing to those attending. Since we began in March of 2010 the attendance has been an average of 14. Among those attending are church planters, sponsor church pastors, associational leaders, and core group members.

One of the church planters who has been attending is the pastor of Iglesia Bautista El Buen Pastor, Jaime Mata. Three of his core group members are also attending with him. God has moved in the hearts of two of these men through the training and they feel led to be church planters.

Librado Zavala has begun a home bible study and has a group of 14 meeting each week. He plans on launching a church start the first Sunday in October.

Victor Torres also has started a bible study in a Colonia with an attendance each week of 11, and will be launching a church start on 10-10-10 (Sept.10, 2010).

These are just two of the great things God is doing through the South Texas School of Church Starting.
