Dear supporting churches and praying friends :

Ps. 126: 5-6 “ They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.” What a promise from a God that is true!! In Spain there shall be reaping, without a doubt, as we sow bearing that precious seed! We must leave the size of the harvest in the Lord’s hand and do our part as laborers to plant and water. I am reminded of Christ’s explanation of the Parable of the Sower in Matthew 13:18-23. Before the soil could do anything with the seed, Christ used the phrase “he that heareth the word”. There are millions in Spain that need to hear a clear presentation of the Gospel- who will go to Bilbao- 339,000; Vigo- 268,000; Vitoria- 215,000; Burgos- 173,000 ……

God is always good! We praise Him for the churches that have added us to their missionary family in the past two months. Praise the Lord we are now 67% of our needed support. We also praise God for each of you that keep us uplifted in prayer.

Please pray as we begin a very full month in June. We will be in OH, MI, SC, NC, TN, PA. Pray for Pilar and the pregnancy as the traveling is becoming harder on her and the time is short. The Lord has allowed for us to be almost the entire month of July at home which will allow her to rest before the baby comes at the end of July. Pray also for the selling of our home in Harvest, AL. We plan to put it for sale the middle of July and are waiting for God’s perfect timing for the move.

If any would like to keep up with us on the web, visit our page on the Madison Baptist Church home site at www.spainforchrist.com. May God continue to bless you,

The Matthew Stark Family
-Your missionaries to Spain-
