David Moran's Hispanic Church Planting Manual
Various books by Manny Ortiz

Manuel Ortiz is Professor of Ministry and urban Mission and Director of Urban Mission Program at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, PA, where he earned a Doctor of Ministry degree. Manuel attended Philadelphia College of Bible, earning a degree in Missions and Theology, as well as Wheaton College in Chicago, IL, where he received a Master's degree in Cross Cultural Communications. During the 14 years he was in Chicago, Manuel developed his commitment to urban missions, indigenous leadership development, and education. His efforts there have also resulted in five churches planted and growing with indigenous Hispanic pastors.

David Moran is the senior pastor of Key Biscayne Presbyterian Church in Miami, FL. Having spent 21 years in ministry as senior pastor of a bilingual bi-congregational church, Oaklawn Presbyterian Church in Houston, TX, David is uniquely gifted to lead Key Biscayne to become a multinational community.

David's degrees reflect a well-rounded education in bilingual studies and ministry. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Belhaven College in Jackson, MS; a Master of Divinity degree from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School; and a Doctor of Ministry degree - with a concentration on bilingual, bicultural Hispanic churches - from Reformed Theological Seminary. Fluent in Spanish, David attended Rio Grande Bible Institute for further language study.
