NHCLC/Conela’s Hispanic Mega Church Association Names President

Cornerstone Church Pastor Sergio De La Mora to lead
organization of America’s Largest Latino Congregations


SACRAMENTO, Calif., Sept. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Hispanic Mega Church Association (HMCA), a division of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC)/Conela, today announced the appointment of Pastor Sergio De La Mora as its new president. De La Mora currently serves as the senior pastor of Cornerstone Church of San Diego, California and is author of “The Heart Revolution: Experience The Power Of A Turned Heart.”

Connecting the nation’s largest Latino Churches, the HMCA exists to resource, relate and present models of ecclesiastical synergy to and from America’s largest Latino congregations.

“Sergio De La Mora embodies the qualities of the 21st century bi-cultural, bi-lingual leader with the ability to network and amplify the voices of America’s Hispanic multi-ethnic mega church pastors,” said Dr. Rodriguez, President of NHCLC/Conela. “Pastor Sergio shines light in a world full of darkness.”

After a transformative faith experience 10 years ago following decades of gang-related crime and cocaine addiction, De La Mora founded Cornerstone Church on the guiding principle that the course of one’s life is always determined by the condition of one’s heart. Today, Cornerstone is the largest Latino-led church in the history of San Diego and has been recognized by Outreach Magazine as one of the fastest-growing churches in the country, with a weekly attendance of over 4,000.

“The day of the silent, isolated church is no longer relevant to the nation,” said De La Mora. “Our position as the collaborative church at large, governed by Kingdom values, emulates the resolution and veracity of Christ. It is the fortitude of our rising, cohesive voice which resonates the ubiquitous power of the cross throughout the nation. For every nationality, every demographic and every social circle, today is the dawn of a new day. And our responsibility as the local church is to lead this shift in power and influence by leading our families, communities and nation to experience a Heart Revolution.”

In order to further meet the needs of the emerging Latino Christian community, De La Mora co-founded the Turning the Hearts Center, a non-profit organization designed to empower youth and families and restore family unity and self-sufficiency through a variety of programs, seminars and support resources.

In 2008, De La Mora began the annual Heart Revolution Conference, a gathering of well-known thought-leaders from across the nation with the purpose of revolutionizing the hearts of the next generation. The Conference has reached thousands of individuals and featured various Christian speakers and musicians from throughout the world.

The Hispanic Mega Church Association brings together America’s largest Hispanic churches to share resources and ideas as well as to provide relational opportunities that will coalesce around a transformational missiology unprecedented in American Church history. From leadership journals to conferences, blogs, retreats and roundtables, the pastors of these large churches will be empowered to empower, built to build and equipped to better equip their communities. HMCA leads in the nexus of American Evangelicalism and multi-ethnic renewal.

NHCLC/Conela is the largest Hispanic Christian organization representing millions of Evangelicals, 40,118 U.S churches and more than 500,000 churches across the globe. Seeking to reconcile evangelist Billy Graham’s message of salvation with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s march of prophetic activism, the NHCLC emphasizes “7 Directives” of Life, Family, Compassionate Evangelism, Stewardship, Justice, Education and Youth.

GM Titanium Continues Partnership With Cain Velasquez

Two-Time and Current MMA Heavyweight Champion Will Continue Serving as Brand Ambassador


NEW YORK, Sept. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The House of Marnier Lapostolle announces today that it will continue its partnership with mixed martial arts champion Cain Velasquez as brand ambassador for GM Titanium. Velasquez, a two-time and current MMA heavyweight defender, will engage fans through personal appearances at events, one-on-one training sessions, and via social media and the digital space, on behalf of GM Titanium.

Velasquez, the first Latino to win the world heavyweight title in any major combat sport, was enlisted in 2013 to represent GM Titanium, personifying its audacious and ambitious spirit. Now, as he prepares to defend his heavyweight championship this fall and make his on-screen debut in the 2015 film feature ‘Term Life’ starring Vince Vaughn, Velasquez is truly at the top of his professional game, channeling the same philosophy of boldness that GM Titanium was founded upon.

Available in California, Washington D.C., Illinois and Florida, GM Titanium features a bold combination of wild tropical orange essence, Asian Calamansi citrus and a unique five-spice blend, rounded out by exceptionally smooth Cognac. This marque disrupted the spirits landscape when it debuted as a groundbreaking, one-of-a-kind product last year from the House of Marnier Lapostolle, creators of the iconic Grand Marnier brand.

“Last year, we enlisted Cain Velasquez as GM Titanium’s brand ambassador for his embodiment of the game-changing quality of the brand,” says R. Scott Green, SVP of Marketing and Sales for the House of Marnier Lapostolle. “We’re thrilled to have him return in this role this year, especially as he prepares to defend his championship title, representing the Titan spirit more than ever.”

As he departs on his journey to defend his MMA championship title in Mexico City this November, Velasquez will also embark on a multi-city GM Titanium tour through Northern and Southern California to meet and engage with fans.

“Touring with GM Titanium will be such an amazing way for me to connect with my fans throughout the West Coast, and I couldn’t be more excited to partner with them again,” says Cain Velasquez. “As a brand, GM Titanium represents how I approach the ring every time I step in it – proving I’m the best and dominating the competition.”

GM Titanium’s flavor is complex and impactful, but not overwhelming, making it extremely versatile: enjoyable neat, on the rocks or in cocktails ranging from simple to complex.  Velasquez’s favorite cocktail combines GM Titanium and pineapple juice with a dash of Angostura bitters.
