I'm posting this again as, I was was trying to be fancy & highlight a few things, but unfortunately you can't read them!!!! haha.
Last week I went to Spain for the 3rd time. It was so encouraging. 47 million wonderful people whom God has created live in Spain. Yet top Christian leaders who have worked in Spain for over 30 years told me only 400.000 have a personal vibrant relationship with God. (This is from research done in Spain, the 400.000 is being very generous, ). That's less than 1%... 99% to go!!! Western Europe is THE mission field of the 21st century!
2 years ago I came to Spain and met with a number of leaders. I must say I was somewhat disappointed, as I thought nothing had transpired from my 2 trips. As it turns out, a pastor caught the vision of "bringing church to people” from our discussions. They had a midweek food distribution Center servicing 100s of people. He was inspired to start a church service around this programme. Since then a congregation has grown and has seen over 100 people saved. (amazing for Spain!) Many healings have also taken place. This same Pastor picked up the role of church planting director for his movement & in March ran his first church planting conference. As a result many Churches are believing for one or more towns or cities near them to begin new churches.
While there this time I was invited to speak by a Pastor in Tudela (4 hours drive from Madrid) who was also at our meetings 2 years ago. We spoke on church planting, plus spoke in his church. A church of 250 people or so, which by the way is quite large for Spain. What a blast, people came to Christ, God spoke very clearly to the church which was recieved, people were healed and many simply dedicated themselves to His purposes and to the call of God. God is moving...yet Labourer's are needed to focus on the best way to fulfill the Great Commission that Jesus gave to us in Matt 28. What can you do???
Harvest is ALWAYS dependant on the seeds we sow! Don't give up, keep sowing seeds. As in the natural, so in the spiritual, it can take months & years! But it WILL happen. The tree is in the seed!
