Proceedings and Conclusions of the V National Encuentro of Hispanic/Latino Ministry | 65 Moment 4: Saturday, September 22, 2018, 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. A Church that Bears Fruit – Morning Plenary to Evening Banquet The Emmaus disciples invite a stranger whom they hardly know to stay with them. Jesus accepts the invitation, continuing the conversation with the disciples in a friendly environment of safety and trust. The methodology of the V Encuentro recognizes the friendship, closeness, and hos- pitality in this biblical passage as fruits of missionary activity and leadership. Just as Jesus did, we must gratefully accept the hospitality extended to us as our encounters with people lead us to a deeper understanding of communion with one another in Christ.
