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.
