Colossians 1:28 - "Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:"
Prayer Requests
Please pray for Francisco and Alberto´s grandfather, his name is Francisco. He still has not accepted Christ as His Lord and Saviour and we pray that the Lord will soften his heart before it is too late.
As we are writing we are enjoying a great time at our
home church. We have been able to attend our annual super conference and it has
been a blessing. We are being challenged through the word of God and are
excited about the months ahead.
We had a wonderful Christmas with our family here in
Alabama. During December we kept remembering the Christmas season last year in
Spain. We were all expecting our son Sergio to come at any moment. This year it
has been a little less hectic. We did miss all of the Spanish Chrismas
traditions like going to see Christmas lights in Madrid, turron, los reyes,
etc. We hope that you all also had a great Christmas holiday commemorating the
birth of our Savior.
Last week we took part in the first missions conference
of Iglesia Bautista Emanuel (Emanuel Baptist Church). This is a young church
that was started by dear fellow missionary three years ago and last year they
just brought in their first pastor. We were able to hear great messages from
veteran missionaries. It was interesting; we were the only "rookie" missionary
family out of the group. But it was great encouragement to be able to learn
from these veterans. Brother Jorge Rocha from San Luis Potosi was the guest
speaker and he was a blessing to us. He is a great friend of our family and we
appreciate his love and friendship. We also want to thank Pastor Ramos for the
opportunity to take part in this special conference.
We want to ask you to pray for us as we will be away
from home for the next two months. We will be traveling to Ohio, Michigan,
Iowa, Virginia, and North Carolina. We ask you to pray for safety as we are on
the road. I will be traveling by myself during the month of March due to
Ashley's pregnancy. The doctor recommended her to not travel after the third
week of February. Please pray for me, I prefer to travel with the whole family.
Ashley's pregnancy is doing well. She had some test
done these past weeks because of her high blood pressure but thank God that
everything came back negative. By the way, last month we found out we are going
to have a little girl. What a blessing! Please continue to pray for her as the
due date (April 15th) is quickly coming upon us.
Please continue to pray for Sevilla, Spain. This is
the area where we plan to start our first church. Pray that God would begin to
work in hearts. Sevilla is a very spiritual dark place. It is the place where a
great revival was about to start in Spain but the catholic church quickly
quenched it through the Spanish Inquisition. Our prayer is that another revival
will begin, but this time that it will spread throughout Spain.
We want to thank you for your prayers and your
faithful support. May God bless you richly.
We give thanks to God always for you all, making
mention of you in our prayers
