La Casa Del Carpintero is reaching Hispanics for Jesus — in English. When the Chicago church started in 2003 services were in Spanish only. But recently, the church realized that English is the best way to reach young.
“If we don’t start having services in English we could easily lose a generation for Christ,” said Pastor Isaias Mercado. “So we see it’s very important that we speak in the vernacular — the language that many people are comfortable with and for many people that’s English.”
Another reason is almost half of the people in the church’s inner-city neighborhood are African-American. Church members want to reach them as well.”*
