Held from June 23-25 in South Florida, this Spirit-led gathering was a beacon of unity in Christ, drawing 49 participants from 22 churches across 10 states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"607\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/spanish-ministry-leaders-conference-1024x607.jpg?resize=1024%2C607&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19870\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/spanish-ministry-leaders-conference.jpg?resize=1024%2C607&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/spanish-ministry-leaders-conference.jpg?resize=300%2C178&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/spanish-ministry-leaders-conference.jpg?resize=768%2C456&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/spanish-ministry-leaders-conference.jpg?w=1416&amp;ssl=1 1416w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Echoing the sentiment that language should not be a barrier to salvation, the conference was a testament to the growing importance of Spanish-speaking ministries in the United States, now the second largest Spanish-speaking country in the world. The fervor, dedication, and sacrifices made by each participant showcased the unity in Christ we all share and the importance of reaching out to his rapidly growing mission field of open hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leaders united to connect, share insights, and support one another, all under the guiding hand of the Holy Spirit. The aftermath of &#8220;Maravillados&#8221; has been nothing short of miraculous, with heartwarming stories and testimonies emerging from various corners of the United States. The emphasis on identifying these ministries based on language, not ethnicity, has further solidified the vision of unity and inclusivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A heartfelt thank you to all who participated and supported this Spirit-led initiative. The success of &#8220;Maravillados&#8221; is a testament to the power of unity in Christ, the transformative work of the Holy Spirit, and the shared vision of a language-based ministry that grows and promotes unity. We are filled with gratitude and anticipation for the even greater works God has in store for us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube
