Osvaldo Rigacci, Hispanic Ministries & Spanish Evangelism

7. Our Calling
Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. 2 Timothy 4:2-5.

8. Our Calling Convictions
1. Have you come to the place in your life where you can say...
I have accepted Jesus as my Savior and Lord. I know He has forgiven all my sins and promised me a home in heaven, and He’s willing to give me victory each day of my life as I ask Him.

9. Our Calling Convictions
2. Have you come to the place in your life where you can say...
I understand that the Bible is different from any other book ever written— it is God’s voice speaking to me. I’m willing to ask the Holy Spirit to change my life to match all the teachings of the Bible. I want to learn something from the Bible every day.

10. Our Calling Convictions
3. Have you come to the place in your life where you can say...
I realize that in these last days God is raising up His final movement for the purpose of taking the gospel to all the world and encouraging each other in holy living. Just like the early Christian church, it keeps all the commandments of God, it arose as a result of prophecy, teaches and preaches prophecy and has a prophet in it. And I want to be a part of God’s final worldwide movement.
