TORRES RESIGNS FROM NATIONAL MINISTRIES STAFF

 Dr. Enrique Torres, director of personal evangelistic 
strategies for National Ministries, American Baptist 
Churches USA, will leave that position March 31.
 Torres, a commissioned American Baptist home 
missionary, joined National Ministries staff in 1994.  He 
has worked with local churches and regions to implement 
ministries of evangelism and has been a team leader for the 
creation and production of evangelism resources, including 
Homecoming, Manual de Evangelismo, Descubra Sus Dones and a 
special edition of The Secret Place.
 Recently Torres served on a planning committee of the 
American Baptist Churches Evangelism Council which 
recommended the denominational goal to reach 1,000,010 new 
believers for Jesus Christ by the year 2010 (now a part of 
the NEW LIFE 2010 emphasis).  Torres also provided 
leadership for the recent Prayer Summits, convened to 
support the evangelistic goal.
 Prior to his work with National Ministries Torres 
served as associate executive minister of the Los Angeles 
Baptist City Mission Society.  He also was director of 
Evangelism for the Hispanic Baptist Convention of the ABC of 
the Pacific Southwest and ABC of Los Angeles.  Previously he 
served on the staff of ABC of Wisconsin and as a local 
church pastor in several states.
 Commenting on Torres' service, the Rev. David Laubach, 
National Ministries associate executive director for 
Evangelism and Church Renewal, noted his "genuine passion 
for evangelism.  Enrique has been an effective teacher, 
leader and speaker in many settings.  We wish him well as he 
continues to pursue God's call."
 Laubach also announced the creation of a new director 
of evangelism position in National Ministries which will 
incorporate part of Torres' program responsibilities.
