SERGE AND EVELIEN

Serge continues to make full use of different ways of building up relationships and witnessing to the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

At the Book Club that he has been attending throughout the year he gave a talk on "Why I am a Christian, in spite of Christianity". There was an hour afterwards for questions and answers. Some people showed interest and indicated that they would like to speak to him in private.  Please pray for those who listened.

Costel has been welcomed as a member of the congregation, and shows evidence of his growth as a Christian. Please pray for him, his wife and daughter.

Remember also the preaching in the parks during the Summer .  Now and again people will approach and ask questions. Last year there was a Seventh Day Adventist who showed interests in the message. Now, one year later, he has been twice to Church and it seems that the Lord is working in his heart.

Serge is still in touch with the Jehovah's Witness. He has read 2 books that were lent to him, and it looks as if his heart is being touched little by little. The last book to be given him was "Grace abundant" by C. H. Spurgeon.

The Romanians, Claudio and Christina are going through a difficult time because of the economic situation. Claudio has now been unemployed for 2 years and the couple are considering returning to Romania.

Kike, Oscar's brother and a backslidden Christian has suffered a heart attack. Please pray for his physical and spiritual health.

Pedro has health problems, and has been undergoing intensive rehabilitation in Guadalajera. This has resulted in improvement in attention span, reasoning, and memory. Please give thanks for his recovery thus far, and for his further time of treatment.

Please join Serge and Evelien in their prayers for Dolores, who made a profession of faith a long time ago and stopped attending services years ago, but turned up recently at an evening service.

Agustin's brother, Antonio has personal problems. Ask that he may search of God in his difficulties.

Serge has signed up as a volunteer with an organisation that supports blind and partially blind people in Spain, and  is also in the process of being accepted as a volunteer for the Red Cross. Please pray for opportunities to share his faith.  Pray also for Manlo, another volunteer worker who has visited the church on various occasions.

It has been nice for Evelien to have met the one Dutchman who lives in Cuenca! There has been no opportunity for her to speak her native language in Spain until now. The couple have invited him and some friends for supper. Pray for a friendship to be established and a witness to the Lord to be seen and heard.

Serge and Evelien would like to thank those who pray and give to the work in Cuenca and that together we may be strengthened in the Lord. May He "add to the church daily such as should be saved" (Acts 2:47
