“I will
come to your church” … He told me that with an assurance in his voice, but I
have heard it before… Alexandro a young man that I met years ago is a member of
Opus Dei, Catholic sect. He disagrees with everything he has seen there, yet,
he does not want to become a “protestant…” Didac another young man. He follows
the “rigui” philosophy trying to find peace in zen inside himself, he sees his
need and have many questions, he also said, “I will come to your church” … so
many hundreds of examples I can give you of people that I testify daily. They
know me. I think that by now everybody in town knows who the pastor of the “non-Catholic”
church is. I cannot walk in town without stopping and talking to somebody,
friendly conversations, many times about the Bible, yet they don´t come to
Christ, they don´t believe in Him as personal Savior… But we continue preaching
and giving the Gospel to all of those that are in need… please pray for them.
There is
time we have fruit, unexpected fruit. Two years ago a sister in our church
started a Bible study at her home. We encourage her and support her. She lives
in a town half an hour from us… This Bible study has grown and 12 ladies are meeting
regularly at her house, then the husbands of some the ladies have begun to come…
they talk to me with a desire; starting a new church in the town of Collbató.
Every Monday Rosa and I will be going there with that in mind, praying that the
Lord will do His will… we need help, we need preachers, leaders, mature men
that can help us. Please pray for the town of Collbató.
Sant Joan
de les Abadeses, Arces, Camprodon, Molló, Talamanca, Boi, Pont de Suert these are the names of the Little towns where
Rosa and have been this summer reaching the “the deep Catalunya” where few
times the people there hears about the Gospel. Tracts, Bibles and New Testaments
were left behind us with the prayer that someone will read them and that a
contact will start… meanwhile the work
in Tarragona has given us the opportunity to have many contacts but it is
difficult to start a point of testimony without having a place. We continue in
prayer about that city. Please pray for these towns.
The church
at Castellbisbal continues growing. Every month we have visitors or new
families coming looking for a “good church.” This is very encouraging. But we
need help serving them. I look forward to have with us a Missionary from
Uruguay that is “retiring” to Spain, Manuel Moyano. He has been working with
Jewish out rich in Montevideo and I am sure he will be a blessing for our
ministry specially with the new open doors in Israel. Please pray for him as
his family as they will need a place to live here in Castellbisbal or near by
FURLOUGH
2020 – We have begun to pray and prepare our furlough for next summer, August,
September and October of 2020. There are many things yet to prepare and the
first one is to contact with our supporting churches and with new ones. The
Lord has open new doors of ministry specially abroad, South America and Israel,
we receive continuous calls asking us to help specially in Bible Institutes and
ministries camps and conferences, but many times I have to say no just because
we do not have enough support to pay for the expenses. This situation has make
me consider seriously the need of raising more support trying to reach “full
support”. The Lord has always provided for us and His work and we know He will
lead us in this next step. God´s willing I will be preparing things, but please
pray for us that the Lord will provide what we need for our visit to you next
summer… housing, car, airplane tickets, etc, etc… Please pray for us.
