Socialize with Hispanics in your community.
Learn to recognize Hispanic people (i.e. grocery store, mall, etc.)
Not all Hispanics look the same.
Listen for accent and/or language.

Learn all you can about the Hispanic Culture.
Hispanics retain (and love) their Latin culture even though they are living in USA.
There are 33 Spanish-speaking countries.
They are the same in many ways … but in other ways they are very different (i.e. USA, England, Scotland, Australia, Canada, etc…).
Hispanic people love to eat and love to entertain.  Eat the Spanish food and you will automatically have a “foot in the door”.
The predominant religion among Hispanics is Catholicism.
Do not tear down their worship and/or commitment to the Catholic Church.  BUILD on it.
Emphasize the Pentecostal style of worship and preaching.  Hispanics enjoy lively music.
