We had 41 in Church!!!Posted by Jeffrey Andrews in Velasquez Family , Spain , Salvation , Prayer Requests , Missions , Missionaries , Ministry , Julio and Andrea Velasquez , Christians , Bible , Andrews Family |

The other day I asked for prayer for our special family day. It was our desire that God would work in a great way, not just to give us numbers, but to work in the heart of each individual that would come. We prayed for people to hear the Gospel, for God to be glorified, and for people to be edified.
All in all it was a tremendous day. We had 41 people in total, our highest day yet. However, a number really doesn’t mean anything. The largest church in the USA averages 43,500 people per week but if the true Gospel isn’t being preached, if the Word of God is not being taught, what’s in a number? If the people are only hearing men’s philosophies and not the Word of God, what’s in a number? The number of people that came to our service is not what is important. What is important is that each person has a soul that needs God and the teaching of His Word.
What’s important is that Robertson and Laura came...a couple who we have been working with who are struggling to make ends meet. Laura has confessed that she is not a Christian. They need forgiveness for their sins and to meet the Lord Jesus Christ.
What’s important is that Eduardo came. Eduardo found us through our website www.estudialabiblia.com and requested a Bible. Even though Eduardo lives an hour away from us, we decided to go and give the Bible to him and at least give him a clear presentation of the Gospel even if we never saw him again. Even with the distance, he came. Eduardo is struggling to find work, having problems with his wife, and really, really searching for the truth. This morning Eduardo raised his hand expressing his desire to give his life to the Lord.
What’s important is the owner of our building came with her mother and daughter. There is a good chance that they have never heard the message of Salvation that we find in scriptures and this was their first time. They were able to listen to songs that talk of God’s amazing love. They were able to hear the testimony of Alberto Puente, a Spaniard who was saved years ago in Spain under my father-in-laws ministry and is now in the ministry serving the Lord. They were able to experience a Bible message about Family and Faith.
No, the number “41” is not important. What is important are the lives and the souls that make up that number. The ones who were able to catch a glimpse of God’s awesome love through the preaching and teaching of His word. Many of those precious souls remind me of myself at age 19 when I first walked into Beacon Baptist Church and heard a clear message from God’s Word. May the Lord work in their hearts as he did mine and may they return time and time again to hear the life changing message that we can only find in God’s Holy Word.
Thank you for praying. God answered all my prayers and much more.

















It is great to be back!!! You may have noticed that our website was down for a few days. We quickly put up a temp page and worked on getting the site back online. Unfortunately, our site was compromised and flagged for sending out malicious spam mail. We were able to figure out the problem and here we are again. Sorry for the interruption and inconvenience. We will be blogging over the next several weeks about our ministry, how things are going with the DVD project, our team members, etc.
