New Jersey Conference Holds First Hispanic Prayer Convention

Story by Daniel Cabezas, Hispanic Prayer Coordinator

New Jersey Conference’s First Hispanic Prayer Convention titled, “A Shelter: Always Open,” recently brought together 300 attendees from various Hispanic churches, creating a profound moment of spiritual renewal and unity.

This significant event featured distinguished speakers, including Andrés Dinamarca, youth leader of the Chilean Union; Felix Cortes, professor at Andrews University (Mich.); and Abner de Los Santos, a vice president at the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. Their impactful messages encouraged attendees to embrace the greatness and beauty of prayer as a central part of their spiritual lives.

Through deep reflections on intercessory prayer, the role of the Holy Spirit and powerful testimonies of answered prayers, participants experienced a spiritual revival, leaders say. The event also strengthened connections among churches, uniting the Hispanic Adventist community.

Organizers say this historic convention reignited the faith of its participants and inspired the vision of establishing an annual gathering focused on the transformative and unifying power of prayer.
