Dear Co-laborers in Christ,

Our team is finally together in Spain! What a blessing! On November 30, David and Favianna arrived here with their children! Thank you so much for praying for them! Now we are ready to work together in reaching souls for Christ here in Spain.

As we approach Christmas we are planning several activities, one of which is a Christmas program at the church on the 19th of December. Please pray that many people will attend
including some lost families that we have contacted over the past few months. Also pray for me (Julio) as I will be having hernia surgery on the 17th of December in Madrid. Pray that I will recover quickly so that I can get busy in the ministry again.

As we look back on this year 2010, we are thrilled at what God has done through us here. We were able to rent a building for our church, fix it up and then begin services back in March. We were able to distribute over 35,000 Gospel DVDs throughout the city of Parla. We were able to put up a billboard with an advertisement about the DVD and also put ads in a local newspaper. Through these outreach endeavors we have seen many come to our church, call us by phone and contact us by way of the internet. We have been able to baptize 5 converts, 3 of which were baptized just last month. Pray for the families of these new converts. Stefan, since his conversion, has suffered rejection from his wife and family as well as not being able to find a job. Pray for him that God will give him the courage to keep on going for Christ. Pray that his wife, Florina will get saved soon. Eduardo got saved and baptized, but his wife is not saved yet. Pray for Angie that she will be convicted of her sins and come to Christ. Sonia was saved and recently baptized and she desperately needs a new job that will allow her to attend church services on Sundays. Paco and his wife Veronica have been attending church for over 2 months now, after receiving the DVD in their home. Pray that they will come to Christ. There is a new couple, Carlos and Olenka, who also received a DVD in their home and have begun coming to our services. They really seem interested and we pray that they also will come to the Lord.

We recently received a call from a man in the Canary Islands who found our website and was interested in growing in the Lord. He is a Christian but does not have a church where he can attend. He along with several of his friends have been meeting on Sunday mornings and watching our church services via the internet. Pray for this group that they will grow in the Lord and in the future be able to form a local church.

As we approach the new year, we have plans to distribute portions of the Bible to every home in Parla. We also want to continue discipling new converts and we would like to produce another DVD presenting the Gospel in a clear way. Our desire is to serve our Lord and reach the lost here in Parla, throughout Spain and then to other parts of the world. Thank you so much for your prayers and faithful monthly support. We would like to thank those of you who helped with the special DVD project and for the many emails and letters we have received with words of encouragement. May the Lord richly bless each of you as you serve our Lord there in your city.

In His Service,
Julio and Andrea Velasquez
