Herald of Truth — Organization Profile
Herald of Truth is a missions and ministry-support organization focused on reaching Spanish-speaking communities with the gospel of Jesus and strengthening churches through practical resourcing and leadership development. Founded in 1952, the ministry frames its work around a long-term “100 by 100” vision: planting 100 Spanish-speaking churches across the U.S. and Latin America by its 100th anniversary in 2052, while also tracking ongoing church-planting progress and partnerships.
The organization’s home office is in Abilene, Texas, and its ministry scope spans Spanish-speaking communities in the United States and across Latin America. Herald of Truth emphasizes partnership with churches and believers through giving, internships, mission trips, and collaboration with other ministries—aiming to combine evangelism, training, and support in ways that local congregations can sustain.
Herald of Truth organizes its current work into three main ministry focuses. First, MESA (Mission: Evangelize Spanish America) is designed to resource, connect, and train Hispanic ministries—especially within the U.S.—through media and leadership development. The ministry describes goals such as equipping Spanish-speaking believers for evangelism, engaging communities with creative and professional tools (including customized media and web resources), and educating church leadership for cross-cultural ministry initiatives.
Second, Herald of Truth supports holistic, local-church-centered work in Honduras. The ministry describes its Honduran efforts as walking alongside churches to meet both spiritual and practical needs, including gospel outreach and projects such as building homes for families living in poverty. Through these partnerships, local congregations are supported as they serve their communities with compassion and courage.
Third, Herald of Truth focuses on strengthening the church in Cuba by providing biblical resources, training, and encouragement for ministers working under challenging conditions. The ministry highlights long-standing partnership and church-planting efforts connected to work in Matanzas province, alongside continued outreach through radio programming and follow-up Bible studies. In each context, Herald of Truth positions its role as coming alongside local leaders so the church can serve faithfully and share the hope of Christ with clarity.
People can engage with Herald of Truth by donating, joining mission trips, applying for internships, and using its resource library and newsletters to stay connected with ongoing work. For churches seeking to expand Spanish-language outreach, MESA represents a structured pathway for resourcing and consultation, while Honduras and Cuba offer opportunities for teams and supporters to participate in sustained, relationship-based ministry.
