The Call to Equip and Inspire
How to Host a Spanish-Speaking Stand For Life Group
The beauty of God’s design is reflected in every person, from the preborn to the elderly. As churches, we are called to live out this truth in tangible ways. Hosting a Spanish-speaking Stand For Life group is an opportunity to guide your congregation in understanding and celebrating the image of God (imago Dei) through the Image of God curriculum. This six-week study invites participants to discover the inherent dignity and worth bestowed by God on all people and to be equipped to advocate for life in their communities.
Why This Matters
The Bible speaks clearly about the value of every human life: “So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27). This foundational truth informs how we view ourselves, others, and the vulnerable around us. In a culture often marked by division and misunderstanding, leading a Stand For Life group can foster unity and deepen the church’s commitment to seeing each person as a reflection of God’s glory.
Steps to Host a Group
If you’re ready to lead a Spanish-speaking group through this transformative journey, here’s how to get started:
- Pray for Guidance and Wisdom Begin by seeking God’s direction. Ask for discernment as you prepare to lead discussions about life, dignity, and justice. Pray for open hearts and minds among participants.
- Access the Curriculum The Image of God curriculum is available in Spanish, offering a comprehensive guide for leaders and participants. This six-week study covers key topics, including:
- The image of God in every person
- The image of God in the preborn
- Building a culture that reflects the image of God
- Promote the Group Invite your Spanish-speaking community to participate. Use church announcements, flyers, and personal invitations. Highlight the study’s focus on exploring God’s design for humanity and practical steps to live out these truths.
- Create a Welcoming Environment Consider cultural sensitivities and preferences as you prepare. Provide materials in Spanish, choose a comfortable meeting space, and foster an atmosphere of openness and respect.
- Engage with the Content As a leader, familiarize yourself with the material ahead of each session. Be ready to facilitate discussions and connect the lessons to your community’s unique context.
- Encourage Action The Image of God curriculum doesn’t end with learning—it leads to action. Challenge your group to reflect on how they can support life and dignity in practical ways, such as volunteering at pregnancy centers, mentoring youth, or supporting vulnerable families.
Your Role in Reflecting God’s Glory
Hosting a Spanish-speaking Stand For Life group using the Image of God curriculum is an opportunity to shine the light of Christ in your community. It equips believers to embrace and share the truth of human dignity, empowering them to be voices for the vulnerable. With prayerful preparation and a heart for God’s people, your group can make a lasting impact for His kingdom.
Let this study be a reminder: We are all made in His image, and every life is precious in His sight.
