Jorge and Blanca Quintero have dedicated their lives to spreading the message of salvation wherever the Lord has called them. As leaders and hosts of growth and discipleship groups at Sunnyvale First Baptist Church en Español, their commitment to God’s work has impacted many lives.
The Quinteros are also active in missions work through their church. In March 2024, Sunnyvale en Español organized a mission trip to Durango, Mexico, where the gospel was preached in nine churches. Evangelism tools were distributed, including 5,000 gospel tracts, 60 evangelistic cubes, and Bibles. As a result, 143 people gave their lives to Christ.
Many of the resources used on the trip were provided through a Southern Baptists of Texas Convention grant funded through Reach Texas giving. The Quinteros said Sunnyvale en Español has made strong connections with SBTC en Español through the annual Apoderados Conference held in conjunction with the Empower Conference each February. They say the church’s involvement with the conference over the past 15 years has better equipped members for evangelism and discipleship efforts on the mission field.
Though they’ve witnessed many victories for God’s kingdom, the Quinteros still know there is much work to do. In Hidalgo, Mexico, a taxi driver deeply involved in idol worship accepted Christ after hearing the gospel and receiving a Bible. In El Salvador, they visited a woman who had been blocking the gospel from entering her community. She was very ill and unable to speak, but after hearing the gospel, she made the decision to accept Christ. Her decision marked a significant breakthrough in a community that had never embraced the gospel before.
As the work continues, one thing remains clear to Jorge and Blanca: The harvest is ready, and the need for workers—and resources—is greater than ever.
