To those that do not know. We are missionaries in Spain (I am also an spaniard). We started this church last December. We have had someone with us, praise the Lord, for every service since then. That is a victory in itself. We had our first getting saved before we even started the church and has been with us since January when he had to move because of work. We have had american students coming too since and before because we have a big college here where foreigners students come. But these ladies that you are about to see are ones that we can build a church with because they are not just passing by, so that is a great blessing.
Works in Spain/Europe are slow, so every person that comes to visit turns into a great reason to praise God. Things that we may take from granted in the States. Pray for these ladies if you will.
The next photos is of me and M.L. She just got saved 2 weeks ago. She is such a blessing to me and so sweet.
This is N and R. They are both from Mexico. R is here visiting her daugther N, but has been coming with me on visitation the last two weeks. And intents to come with me until she returns to Mexico in May.
These are all the ladies (yeah pray for guys to come for my husband's sake :) ha). We already have an international church. From left to right: me (Spain), M.L. (Spain), N (Mexico), S (El Salvador), R (Mexico), Dani Joy (USA but she was just visiting-missionaries in the north of Spain).
Our auditorium. Can't wait to see it full.
After church we moved all the chairs and set up the tables. We really had a great time in unity. It was really a time that glorified the Lord.
Pastor Joseph (Gijon) on the left of the photo and Pastor Matthew (my handsome husband) were the only guys there (other than the Contreras boys). They were really outnumber :)
God, give us wisdom, we pray, to lead this work for your honor and glory. The help this ladies grow and be a blessing and encouragement to them. Bring more people that we may build a church that will honor you, that we may be a bright light to this city. I ask you God for your blessings upon Bible Baptist Church of Granada. In Jesus precious name, AMEN
