Dear Prayer Partners,

 

Youth Outreach & Ministry

We are now well into our fifth year of our labor to plant a new church in this province and region of Spain. We've made a lot of advances and have had a few setbacks. We have a strong congregation of young married couples and a good children's ministry. Even though there have been many efforts to establish a solid youth ministry, until recently, we had not made much headway in this area.

 

Even still, a good group of the children of families that have been saved have grown and are now pre-adolescents. They have begun to bring other young people their age to church and without really much effort on our behalf a youth church has been born.

 

This summer we had several evangelistic concerts focused to reach the youth of our city. These concerts brought in about 60 first time visitors and at least ten new people have begun our Saturday youth services and our regular Sunday morning services.

Baptisms 2010

In September we baptized seven new converts; our largest group of new converts we have baptized at one time since we first arrived in Spain to plant new churches in 1988!

 

We also praise God because all seven are in discipleship and cells and are now actively involved in some ministry of the church!

Theological Seminary in the Canary Islands

The Canary Islands is one place in Spain where we have been seeing a really good move of God and where Spaniards are coming to Christ in fairly large numbers. Even though percentage wise, on these islands there a many more Evangelical churches per capita than are found on the Iberian Peninsula there is no official Evangelical theological seminary established on the islands.  

 

For this reason we have been working to help establish a seminary on the islands so that serious minded disciples that want to prepare themselves theologically don't have to come all the way to mainland [Spain] to study. The seminary will be under the Assemblies of God (AG) for the Canary Island. I am working together with Pastor/Apostle Sergio Zubillaga; an excellent Bible teacher and pastor of a fantastic church on the island of Gran Canarias. I am really please to be collaborating with Sergio for we have a deep mutual appreciation for our distinct ministerial gifts.

 

I am also alternately giving extension classes for the "Centro Superior de Teología" (AG) and have been asked to be a part of their permanent staff – which offer I am weighing.

(Unknowingly) Preaching To the Whole World

About six months ago I ministered on a Sunday morning in Sergio's church in Gran Canarias. A few months later I begin to receive puzzling emails and messages via Skype and Facebook from people in different countries I have never been to telling how much I have ministered to them. I had no idea what they were talking about. It turns out that the church submitted the video of the sermon to TBN (Enlace) Madrid, and they, in turn, sent it to TBN Costa Rica and the rest is history. I don't even have a TV, so I  would never have known about it.  

 

Thank You & Please Keep Us in Your Prayers

We want to thank every one of you that so faithfully pray for us and support us financially every month. But what Gina and I are praying for is for ten new churches to pick us up and support us for $100 a month. We need at least this much increase in our support in order to consistently make ends meet every month and to reach specific ministry goals. You are a matchless BLESSING to our lives and the lives of countless others that you help us to reach for Christ! We love and deeply appreciate you all!
