There may be fewer than 10,000 of the Synod's 2.3 million baptized members who speak Spanish as their "first language" but I believe that if the word could get out to the Spanish speaking countries in which the LCMS has missionaries and/or partnerships, we could honestly say that there are far more people who will benefit from this than what are located in the US.

How many Lutherans are there in the Spanish speaking world around the globe?
