I just launched a bilingual study (and Spanish-immersion experience for myself!) in 1 Samuel with my good friend, Pr. Lucrecio Muñoz of Iglesia Buenas Nuevas in EHT. Using the RV-SBT 2023 for Spanish and a somewhat modernized version of the AV (KJV) for the English readings. God willing, installments will premier weekly for the foreseeable future at 4:00 p.m. Eastern every Lord’s day (Sunday). See all Reformed Parish videos on our YouTube channel.

RPM: Autumn visits on my parish circuit
Posted in Parish in American Context, Parish Theory & Practice, Reformed Parish Mission (RPM) Posts on November 10, 2025| Leave a Comment »
As the weather cools, the leaves turn and fall, I continue my rounds in my little “territorial vineyard,” as Thomas Chalmers affectionately would call it. Since I arrived in S. Jersey in late 2023, I’ve made it more than midway through my second round. The Lord has been pleased to pick up my spirits after something of a little ‘dry spell’ in the mission. The following are sample conversations of late that have given me some encouragement.
As I approached one particular house that I first visited a year ago, I checked my notes. “Talker.” Yeah, I remember something of that first visit. Talkers in certain ways are definitely better than not-talkers, since they often give you more of an opportunity to proclaim the Gospel. If you can get a word in edgewise! But “talkers” will hardly enter the Kingdom for their much talking, unless of course they finally close their mouths and let God speak.

RPM: technical help?

I could use a tech-savvy helper for my Reformed Parish Mission work. I’m looking to create several videos of Spanish metrical psalms (Salterio de Ginebra) using slides such as these put to music sung by my family. Below are samples of both.
If you can help, drop me a note: michael@reformedparish.com, 515-783-5637.

RPM November Quarterly Update: Making House Calls

Here is the latest quarterly update. If you missed the last one from August, you can read it here. Also, as a part of my home mission labors under my presbytery, I am free to take pulpit supply opportunities one Lord’s day per month on average. This enables me to supplement our support income with honoraria and, as opportunity allows, raise awareness of Reformed Parish Mission. If you have or know of any opportunities, feel free to drop me a note at michael@reformedparish.com. (Bio & online sermons here.)
RPM: monthly bilingual outreach meeting
Posted in Reformed Parish Mission (RPM) Posts on February 6, 2025| Leave a Comment »
We’re starting back up the monthly bilingual outreach meeting we had held in Rhode Island. This time, our good church friends and helpers, Peter & Daya Rivera, are opening their home in Woodbine, and the Ives and Dollaways will be going as a core group. We have some initial commitments from some Hispanic contacts in the parish. Please pray that the Lord would bless it for conversions. And feel free to watch along by livestream!

RPM: Please pray for my pastor-friend
Posted in Reformed Parish Mission (RPM) Posts on January 25, 2025| 2 Comments »
I want to request special prayer for my dear brother and fellow pastor, Pr. Lucrecio Muñoz. I developed a friendship with him not long after I came down to S. Jersey in late 2023. He is a diligent and faithful expositor of Scripture, and we connect weekly to visit, study, and pray together–in English and Spanish. I have also preached in his church a few times and have been very blessed by the biblical and reformational work going on in that Hispanic congregation.
Because his church is not in the financial position to support him very much, he resorts to secular work as a painter to provide for himself and his family. He has also experienced recent setbacks and discouragements, and I would like to request special prayer for him and his dear family.
If you would like to make a special donation for him, we would be happy to forward it; and as usual, all gifts would be tax deductible. Go here to donate. Simply make a notation for “Pr. Muñoz” either in your PayPal gift or on any check you mail in, so we can keep it separate from the main funds.
