Dear Co-laborers in Christ, These past two months have been busy, hectic, frustrating, but for the most part exciting and blessed. We arrived in Spain on April 1 and were met at the airport by our team members and family, the Andrews. It was a joy to see them again and especially our 6 yr. old grandson Aaron. We stayed with the Andrews for one month while we worked on paperwork for the final approval of our visas, opened a bank account, found an apartment, submitted papers to get permission to rent the apartment and purchased a good used car. All of these things take time and patience. On May 5 our container arrived at our apartment and several missionaries came to help us unload and carry our belongings into our apartment. It was a real blessing to finally be in our own home again. We have been visiting several churches on Sundays in the Madrid area and renewing old friendships with missionaries and believers. Last Sunday we were able to visit our former church in Alcala de Henares and it sure brought back a lot of wonderful memories of the 14 years that we spent there. Most of the members that we left, are now in other places serving the Lord as missionaries and pastors. It is a real blessing to see that our labor for the Lord is never in vain. We would ask you to pray in particular for Manola and Belen, a young couple who were saved years ago in our church, but have been away from the Lord for many years. They invited us to their home last week and we had a great time of fellowship with them. They went to church with us and we could see a spark of desire to serve the Lord again. Pray that they will come back to God and serve Him with their lives. We are living in the city of Parla, about 30 minutes from downtown Madrid. It is a city of over 150,000 people who need the Lord. I have walked the streets and had the opportunity to witness to several people, and I notice how hardened their hearts are to spiritual things. I would ask you to pray for a couple, Valentin and his wife, who own a small store close to our apartment. They are from Ecuador. They are very friendly to us and we want them to be saved. Besides Spaniards, there is a huge population of immigrants. There are Latin Americans, Romanians and a large group of Muslims. We have begun preparations for our first evangelistic project to reach them for Christ. We plan on producing 20,000 DVDs with an illustration and a short salvation message. Our son David will be recording the DVD this week and then we will be making copies of the DVDs, and putting them in the mailboxes of 20,000 homes. Please read the enclosed flyer on how you can help with this project. Make note of our new mailing address and our Vonage phone number at the bottom of this page. Thank you so much for your prayers and support. |
