Cabrera, pastor of Iglesia Bautista de Quail Springs, the Hispanic ministry at Quail Springs Baptist Church, recently recorded an ad for the Evangelical Immigration Table's latest radio ad campaign launched this week. The ads are set to run on Christian and talk radio in the Oklahoma City and Tulsa markets.

The Puerto Rico native said his congregation's makeup puts him at the forefront of the immigration reform issue." - Carla Hinton, The Oklahoman, Aug. 24, 2013.
