IGV Prospectus

Why a Hispanic Church?
When we say “Hispanic” what usually comes to mind is the small section
on the grocery aisle or some tacos and guacamole. The truth is that
Hispanics come here from more than 20 countries, most of them trying to
achieve the so called “American Dream”.
They have left behind their families, their country, everything they know
and love, assuming great risks in order to look for a "better life" that may
allow them to provide for themselves and sometimes their family back at
home. While they do their best to adapt, cultural and language barriers
makes it difficult to live in their new home. In addition, the cost of
l i v i n g a n d f a m i l y
needs often means
taking on multiple
jobs to make ends
meet.
Over time, a sense of
frustration overpowers
their hopeful dream of
a new life in America.
T h i s f r u s t r a t i o n ,
hopelessness, and
s t r u g g l e t o f i n d
acceptance opens a
significant door for the gospel. In Christ, we have something infinitely
better than the "American Dream." We have all our deepest needs
fulfilled.
Iglesia Gracia y Verdad will take the Gospel to the Hispanic community of
Colorado Springs by serving them so they can experience the love of
Jesus. Gracia y Verdad will walk with them through their longing for
“something better” and point them to Jesus as the only source of ultimate
satisfaction, showing them that nothing in this world can truly satisfy us
but Him.
