This past month of September more than 500 Hispanic leaders experienced Avanza y Multiplica in Austin, TX. Avanza y Multiplica is the main event of the Hispanic Ministry, nationwide, in the IPHC. Every other year this event gathers ministers and church leaders from all over the country in an atmosphere of celebration, praise, learning and fellowship. It is a refreshing experience that nurtures participants with profound teaching and seminars, genuine worship as well as opportunities for networking and fellowship. Avanza y Multiplica offers an unparalleled platform for the growth and unity of the body of Christ. Avanza y Multiplica is not just an event, it is a movement.
During the closing of Avanza y Multiplica on Saturday, September 30th, 2023, God prompted ministers and leaders to remain focused on the harvest in a way that would bring growth to His kingdom.
