BAPTIST UNIVERSITY OF THE AMERICAS in San Antonio, Texas is a training center for Hispanic, Bi-lingual and Bi-cultural leaders. Dr. Albert Reyes, President remarked a few years ago, “if you are not bi-lingual or bi-cultural here in Texas in the next few years you are going to be bi-yourself.” BUA has launched a bold strategic plan that calls for $50,000,000 to be raised over the next 10 years to build a new 75 acre campus for train pastors and leaders to reach our to the Americas (USA, Central and South America). This 60 year old institution is beginning to hit its stride at a time when the need has never been greater. Over 1,000 churches and church plants need trained Hispanic and bi-cultural leaders to pastor and shepherd these fellowships. Dr. Reyes and Arnie Adkinson, Vice-President for Ministry Advancement turned to The Timothy Group to lead them through this campaign. A study was completed and through our donor research, a lead gift of $3,000,000 was secured to help kick off this campaign (the largest gift in the history of BUA). TTG has assisted with solicitation calls, trained staff, board and committee members in the fine art of solicitation. The campaign is still underway with the university almost ready to break ground.
