I attend a small church we run about 40 on Sunday morning.
We have had a Hispanic woman attending our services, but none of us can speak Spanish.
We have ordered some PPH Sunday School books in Spanish.
How can we minister to our Hispanic neighbors ? We would like to reach them for Jesus Christ.
What some things we can do to reach our Hispanic neighbors most of us at the church know very little of their culture ?
Our pastor is praying that we can run across someone who is Bi-lingual who can help interpret services and help us interpret home Bible studies.
Does anyone have ideas or suggestions for us to help us reach them dear souls with New Testament truth ?

Sounds like you are doing all you can until you can locate someone bilingual. I have read on another thread though that PPH was going to discontinue selling Spanish language material and what they have in stock is not of the best quality.
One thing that may still be a challenge though. As far as "Hispanic Culture" the US has Spanish speaking immigrants from dozens of countries and each will have its own variations of culture and background. Do you know the main country of origin of most Hispanics in your area?
Regardless as soon as you have an interpreter, you will do fine. Love is a universal language/culture it will be felt.
