Cumbre is a five-year initiative to reach Hispanic people for Christ in North America.
Hispanic pastors and community leaders from the United States (including Puerto Rico), Canada, and Mexico kicked off the initiative by gathering recently to pray, and brainstorm, network and dream about how to mobilize Hispanic believers in the pew to reach out to their communities.
Cumbre is planning follow-up conferences in 2004 and 2006.
One of the sponsors of Cumbre is A.M.E.N. (Alianza de Ministerios Evangelicos Nacionales), a multidenominational association of evangelical leaders (clergy and lay) from the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and Mexico.

Foreign to Familiar:
A Guide to Understanding Hot - And Cold - Climate Cultures
by Sarah A. Lanier
McDougal Publishing, November 2000
This is a great book by an author who has served with YWAM since 1980, serving in various countries around the world. "Sarah Lanier has captured the keys to understanding our own -- and others' -- ways of doing and saying things. I guarantee that if you follow the principles in this book that the boundaries of your worldview will expand, and you will begin to comprehend your own cultural ways in the process. This book is a quick read and a must read in today’s world where "cross-cultural" may simply mean "across the street" where you live." --

What does it take to build a successful cross-cultural ministry partnership?

- Creating shared vision
- Establishing compatibility
- Applying ground rules
- Keeping the relationship open and personal
- Building intercultural understanding
- Fostering trust
- Measuring progress
- Tracking agreements, contributions, and outcomes
- Learning and handling change together
