How is a podcast in Puerto Rico reaching Spanish-speaking people seeking Christianity? The Rev. Sergio Maita (LCMS missionary serving in Puerto Rico) joins Andy and Sarah at the LCMS Synodical Convention to talk about his path to becoming a pastor and missionary, the community where he serves today, how he has been able to connect the community to Word and Sacrament Ministry, how the podcast “Cristo en el Centro” began, the topics they’ve discussed and the audiences they’re reaching, and how video podcasting is a unique way to reach new Spanish-speaking Christians. Find Cristo en el Centro at youtube.com/@cristoenelcentro and learn more about Rev. Maita’s work at lcms.org/Sergio.maita.

As you grab your morning coffee (and pastry, let’s be honest), join hosts Andy Bates and Sarah Gulseth as they bring you stories of the intersection of Lutheran life and a secular world. Catch real-life stories of mercy work of the LCMS and partners, updates from missionaries across the ocean, and practical talk about how to live boldly Lutheran.
