  • Christmas Greetings from Spain
    CHRISTMAS GREETINGS FROM SPAIN December 2018 news Rich and Cindy Brown Praise God for these words from Matthew 1:21—Jesus is still saving people from their sins! We appreciate your prayers for us. We want you to know how God is answering your prayers for the growing church in Alcalá de Henares. Merry Christmas from Rich and Cindy Brown in Spain! A LOOK AT OUR WORLD Six months ago, the Spanish Parliament impeached the sitting president and a new president took over who is an atheist. His party´s agenda is very liberal which affects every level of society, even what kids are taught in school. Madrid has been named by some “the most LGBTQ-friendly city in the world.” Our current “Miss Spain” is the first transgender to be crowned here and on December 17 will represent the country in the Miss Universe pageant. Please pray for compassion and boldness in spite of the darkness in which we live. A LOOK AT OUR CHURCH Our church continues to grow in grace and in numbers. Many Sundays this fall we have filled our storefront facility and have had to add extra chairs to seat everyone—a good problem to have! A new age-group class for junior high students was inaugurated in November and meets in the entryway of our storefront facility for lack of another classroom! The junior high students have their own schedule of activities and sometimes combine with the high school youth for outings. Also in November, Rich had the privilege of baptizing 16 year-old Nataly Martínez (pictured on the right) as she gave testimony of God´s saving grace.
