With
the Tri-Cities rapidly growing Hispanic population, Dr. Dallas Dobson
saw the need for a church where this group could regularly hear the
Gospel message in the Spanish language. William Yant was
called to begin the Spanish Ministry of Riverview Baptist Church,
Iglesia Bautista, de Riverview. Under Pastor Yant's leadership the
ministry began to grow. Pastor Manuel Haro was called to
assist Pastor Yant and when Pastor Yant retired to "do the
work of an evangelist" Manuel Haro was appointed the Spanish
pastor. He has been serving since 2001 and the Spanish
ministry has been thriving under his capable leadership.
This ministry now reaches over 700 weekly and is one of the largest
Fundamental Baptist Spanish ministries in the country. |
