Further Steps

Update

We feel we have been greatly supported by so many people and have recently had a great time at the Iberian Peninsula Conference in Portugal. It was lovely to catch up with Simon from Salisbury, Oscar from Mexico and the apostolic team that Guy Miller brings with him.

It has left us with two great things, a real equipping for the future of Nuevas Fronteras Madrid and a young man from Oscar’s church who has decided to come, help and serve with us, His name is Marco (aka Toño).

Evangelism

This is a crucial year for us to advance and become more evangelistic. We have a strategy which is probably very similar to what most of you reading this do in your own churches around the world, however, we are very excited and a little nervous as it will be done in Spanish. At the moment we are interviewing our friends using a questionnaire which gently leads the conversation into the matters of God and their experience of Him. We are continuing with the very popular `intercambio´ evening once a month where the greatest problem we face is being outnumbered by our Spanish friends. We are also sharing our faith and testimonies regularly with our friends, all of these things are leading towards events that we will be organising in the coming months in which people can look in on and check out what we believe. Please pray for us as we make mistakes stepping out of our comfort zones.

Team

Marco is going to be with us for six months and has already been here since end of March, being a Spanish speaker he is invaluable in the team and is serving in numerous ways in worship, teaching the team Spanish and is also a very impressive chef. It seems there is very little that he can’t do well. There are other people who are also hopefully coming to join the team from the UK which we are very excited about and praying for. All of these potential team member’s along with those who have already moved to Madrid are showing incredible trust in God and perseverance.

Prayer

So, as always we value your interest in us and even more your prayers. Here is a quick summary of prayer requests.

·                     Pray for Spanish speakers to come and join us particularly to our evening Impact Group

·                     Pray for God’s grace on us as we step out to tell our friends about our faith

·                     Pray for people moving out especially finding places to live, schools for children and work

·                     Pray that Marco never goes back home!

We have been so exceptionally blessed, thank you for each and every prayer
