“Brothers and sisters, join in
imitating me, and observe those
who live according to the example
you have in us.”
—Philippians 3:17
Javier Benitez is pastor of Iglesia Bautista Misionera Roca Fuerte in Pittsboro, North Carolina. He also serves as leadercoach
for Companerismo Cristiano Emmanuel, CBF of North Carolina’s Hispanic Ministry network. With the help of
his wife, Alma, and a leadership team of Hispanic ministers, Javier trains pastors and lay leaders in evangelism and
discipleship ministries. Each year the network sponsors five events for men, women, youth, and families that reach,
train, and send workers to start new faith communities. They are currently nurturing seven new church starts and
planning an eighth for North Raleigh under the leadership of Pastor Pablo Ernesto Hernandez. Pray for Javier, Alma,
Pablo, and this network of Cooperative Baptists who are faithfully and effectively reaching a growing population of
newcomers to the United States. For more information visit www.cbfnc.org/Missions/HispanicMinistry.aspx.
