Church Planting in Olivares
Olivares is a small town on the outskirts of Sevilla, in the south of Spain. There is no church that proclaims to gospel of Christ. The group pictured here has decided to change that. Established in January, 2003, we gather to pray, worship, and study God's Word to prepare ourselves to begin a Christian church in Olivares. May God bless the work!
Memorial Day USA
As we're back in the USA for Home Assignment, we had the privilege today of attending a local Memorial Day parade. What a joy! Seeing hundreds come out to cheer on those who have given of themselves to protect the freedoms that we have as Americans! By contrast, in Spain we saw shame and derision poured down on those who chose to serve the Spanish military with their lives. What a shame.
There is great value in honoring freedom. One must understand its cost and be willing to pay the price. Spiritual freedom also required the cost of God's own Son Jesus. He paid the price so we could be free to enjoy a relationship with the Creator. This is the message we seek to share with the Spanish people.
