Puerto Rico

Since 1975, BIMI has had representation on the Island of Puerto Rico. Dr. Glen Foster was first to begin a work in the San Juan area. About the same time, Al Sligh came and built a military ministry near Roosevelt Roads Naval Base. Ten fundamental independent Baptist churches have been established, and new areas are being targeted.

The island of Puerto Rico has approximately 4 million people. Being a commonwealth protectorate under the United States, it has enjoyed substantial economic development. With economic prosperity came a spirit of materialism which has invaded the culture and heart of the people. It is estimated that 85% of the people are Roman Catholic. Puerto Ricans are very religious, therefore, nearly every cult has been established in Puerto Rico. There is a great need to start more fundamental Baptist churches in this island.

Pray that the Lord would send labors into this harvest field.
