'Being Latino in Christ' with Orlando Crespo
Season 2, Episode 15 (46 minutes)
Episode Description
From growing up in an all-white neighborhood in Springfield, Massachusetts, to visiting the vibrant island of Puerto Rico, to attending a life-altering Urbana Missions Conference, Orlando Crespo shares the key life moments that revealed his clear call to be a minister to Latino people. Unbeknownst to him at the time, it wouldn’t involve being a missionary to Mexico or Central America, but rather, to a place far closer and more familiar than he ever imagined. In this second bonus episode celebrating IVP’s 75th anniversary, Orlando describes living between the two worlds of being Latino and American and the path that led him to write Being Latino in Christ, first published in 2003. For almost two decades, this historic book has shaped the spiritual and ethnic formation of Latinos in America as they step out in ministry to the world.
