• 50.5% of the Population Growth in the U.S. is Hispanic (this means 1 out of every 2 people added to the population are latino)
• 48% of a local elementary school in North Charleston (Midland Park) is Hispanic
• Midland Park has seen their Hispanic Population in their school grow from 5% of the total students to almost 50% in the last 10 years

This is exciting when you know that we are starting a service this Easter that is 100% in Spanish!!! I can see where God is preparing us for this growth and my prayer is that He will intertwine our hearts.
