Editorial Vida and Grupo Nelson introduce resource for pastors and leaders
LiderVision.com to become first Hispanic Christian platform
MIAMI, July 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hispanic pastors and Christian leaders now have a new online resource that focuses on Spanish-speaking audiences. At the first-ever LiderVision conference in Miami, FL held June 27-29, 2013, Spanish publishing imprints Editorial Vida and Grupo Nelson announced the launch of LiderVision.com, an online portal made specifically for Spanish-speaking leaders. Around 700 attendees were able to preview LiderVision.com's services, which include free book excerpts, pastoral advice and access to an online store that will provide Spanish-language products and titles.
LiderVision will fulfill a void in Christian leadership-specific titles and publications within the Hispanic community. "If there is a neglected priority in the Hispanic church, it's providing solid voices in leadership," says Lucas Leys, Editorial Vida publisher and LiderVision project initiator. "LiderVision will address this need by engaging a Spanish-speaking community of pastors and Christian leaders to share ideas and generate conversations, while also offering resources that will aid in Christian leadership."
LiderVision brings three unique contributions to the Hispanic Church: actualizing ministerial goals and missions, creating a community of colleagues and providing spiritual advice from some of the Christian community's most outstanding writers and thinkers like Samuel Rodriquez, Bill Hybels, and Ismael Cala.
"LiderVision's social media community already has over 80,000 followers on Facebook and Twitter, so it's clear that the Hispanic Christian community is ready and willing to engage in the platform," says Tod Shuttleworth, senior vice president of HarperCollins Christian Publishing's specialty and global publishing. "In addition to being a conversation-generator, LiderVision will also provide Spanish-language ministry resources from a strong catalogue of Christian authors and titles."
Working with the strength in both Editorial Vida's and Grupo Nelson's infrastructure and editorial richness, LiderVision strives to become a powerful community for thousands of ministers, pastors, educators and leaders in the Christian community.
