I am committed to promote high school graduation and college attainment in the Hispanic community of faith in Texas. I am thankful that Texas Baptist congregations decided to take action to thwart the tsunami of Hispanic high school dropouts. Praise God for Texas Baptists desiring to offer academic help and hope.
