Prayer requests, Spring 2007
Since April, 2006, we regret to say the new prayer team from the Spanish Evangelists' Conference has been unable to produce a prayer letter. Do pray for the team as they attempt to add this new responsibility to their very busy schedule. We now expect there to be a new start in the New Year.
Meanwhile, we are able to propose a number of events future, as well as past, for which to pray. In particular, we invite you to join us in 40 days of prayer- Click above on New Year, new plans for details!
Easter 2007
Mission Possible
This Missions conference took place over Easter. It was led by the Federation of Free Evangelicals, but open to all and it was at least as successful as the previous one in raising awareness of the need for missions, at least among the youth of more conservative churches. Some one thousand young people attended. Pr<y for a new wave of missions awareness and response to the appeal to consider the missionary call.
Easter Outreach, Alcalá de Henares, Madrid.
Pray for the results of this outreach, led by the local Brethren Assembly with Spanish volunteers and a team from GLO, Britain. Dates: 30th March to Easter day. More (in Spanish)
'Good News' youth congress, 'Revolution 2007' in Las Palmas
This denomination will bring together their youth for a congress in the Canaries.
Troubles in Turkey
Missions awareness has recently been raised by the dramatic death of 3 Christian workers involved in a printing workshop in Eastern Turkey. One of the leading pastors in Turkey is a Spaniard, Carlos Madrigal, and due to his involvement in the ministry at national level, Spanish churches have been much affected by the tragedy. Silent demonstrations have been called in front of city halls across the country for 6th March at 9 p.m., time of the main news bulletings on TV.
Sala de Espera
The Spanish Evangelists' Conference has a new project for 2007. Called Sala de Espera (Waiting Room), it is a bimonthly free distribution magazine, which will be placed in waiting rooms of all kinds, as well as handed to interested people by members of numerous churches. At least that is the plan. So far a number of churches has signed up and the go-ahead has been given for printing the first number. Sponsors are welcome! More from the Conference page!
