Ten Hispanic churches in the Baltimore area gathered on Oct. 26 at the Baltimore Spanish Church for a Reach Baltimore 2025 rally, a joint evangelistic initiative led by the Chesapeake and Allegheny East conferences in partnership with It Is Written and the North American Division.
 
The evening featured music, prayer, and powerful messages from speakers, including Eddy Martinez, a visiting pastor and evangelist from Costa Rica. Other speakers included Ramon Escalante, Hispanic Ministries director for Allegheny East Conference; Orlando Rosales, Hispanic Ministries director for Chesapeake Conference; and John Rengifo, Chesapeake Conference Ministerial director, who all emphasized unity and commitment to mission.

"We had a very enthusiastic meeting, with representation from the 10 congregations of Chesapeake and from from Allegheny East. The members are already working with great enthusiasm in view of the special effort that we will make to reach Baltimore in the year 2025. Our members and pastors came out challenged from this 2nd Rally to continue working for the souls who need Jesus," says Rosales.

In preparation for large-scale evangelistic meetings planned for October 2025, several community-focused activities are being planned for next year, including a biblical archaeology seminar and a free health clinic. It Is Written’s Robert Costa will speak for the Spanish-language meetings, while It Is Written speaker/director John Bradshaw and North American Division president G. Alexander Bryant will present for the English-language meetings.
