 What is SurgeForward?

Surge Forward is an event for Hispanic 20 & 30 something’s who love Jesus and want their lives to reflect their faith. 

As you know we need more events that can attract Hispanics who fit in this age group. I’m glad that we have Hispanic Singles Camp here in Texas but from my understanding, there is a huge gap across our nation for events geared towards developing Hispanic leaders who are in their 20’s and 30’s. This age group is making life-changing decisions that will affect them for the rest of their lives and this event will serve as an encouragement for those Hispanics. This October 2-3 in Ft Worth, TX, Hispanics will gather together to explore the Power of One.

 It all began with a single thought and single dream to inspire and challenge Hispanic young adults, singles, students, and married couples, to actively live out their faith and impact God’s Kindgom. On August 1st 2008 the first monthly Surge event was held at Waves of Faith in South Fort Worth with about 40 people. It quickly grew and within a few months had reached about 150 Hispanic young adults from all over DFW, from several different churches, showing up to worship together the first Friday of every month. There was an immediate sense of community and cohesiveness that is not commonly seen. It was obvious that God was at work.A “Surge” was happening. That momentum and the absence of an event specific to Hispanic young adults, whether they are single or married, in school or not, with or without a family, led to the creation of SurgeForward. There is a need for an event like this.There is no doubt that God is preparing and raising up the Hispanic leaders of tomorrow from this very group. It has been compared to Louie Giglio’s Passion ministry in the early days at Baylor University. 

So be sure to visit their website at www.surgeforward.org and pass along this information to Hispanics and others that may be interested.
