Baptism and Men's Fellowship



While we are in the States the ministry of Iglesia Bíblica Bautista de Manta is going strong under the leadership of Pastor Darwin Moreira and the great team of servant-leaders that God has put in place. One way we measure the health of the church body is in discipleship of new believers. Jefferson and his family came to the church a few months ago and soon became believers in Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Others in the church have encouraged them to learn to walk with Jesus as disciples and have led them in a period of Bible study to get started well in their Christian life. In this picture, the family was ready for baptism by Pastor Darwin.
Another core value of the church is fellowship. Here a group of the men are getting together on Sunday afternoon for some sports at the local beach. The church is a family that encourages one another.

Hello. We moved to Manta 2 months ago. We are looking for a church. We have been to a couple but it seems that all are spanish speaking. Are there any churches in this area with English speaking? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Dede

Dede, thanks for your question. I don't know of any English language churches in Manta, but there is a growing need and interest for English language ministry. There is at least one group that meets for English Bible study during the week. Let's pray about how the English worship need can best be met, and what our role should be to bring that about.
