About the Center: Did you realize that Spanish is the leading language in 23 nations? Or that Spanish ranks among the top three languages spoken in the world today? In order to seize the opportunities to touch millions of Spanish-speaking people, the regional center for Hispanic Advancement opened its doors in 1997 in Eagle Pass, Texas. It relocated to Piedras Negras, Mexico in 2008. The work targets the 350 million Spanish-speaking people with the Gospel of Christ through visual and print media. The staff, all native Spanish-speakers, is committed to telling Christ’s story to the Spanish-speaking world, and to accelerating global evangelism by producing effective teaching tools.

The Lord has opened doors to address several issues like gang activity, alcoholism, sexual purity, and domestic violence through targeted Christian productions. Programs created for Spanish audiences highlighting God's enduring love even in a crisis pregnancy, spousal abuse situation, or imprisonment have been telecast through Enlace. (Enlace is a Christian satellite company that broadcasts Spanish programming to more than 180 million people.)
