A meeting at a weekend church conference in northern Spain was only supposed to include one of the testimonies off our “People Like You” DVD. But after the first one the people in the congregation asked to see the rest. The preacher had to postpone his sermon until the next session.

Beate works as a missionary in several small towns near Málaga. She has used the audio from our testimony DVDs on her radio program, but now was looking for some evangelistic material to give away. She stopped by the other day to pick up the DVDs.

A church in Madrid is using our ¿Ahora Qué? youth discipleship books as their Sunday school curriculum.

We are really encouraged to hear these stories, knowing that God is using what he have produced to bring people to Himself, and to maturity in Christ.

Here’s what I have going:

1. Learn how to manage the ¿Ahora Qué? youth discipleship web site. Eber the friend God sent to create the site while we were gone has moved back to Brazil, so it is in my hands now. I am praying that we can hand off this ministry to another organization.

2. Distribute our People Like You DVDs. I just got off the phone with a man in the city of Soria who wants to buy a quantity to give away through his church. He said they showed one of the testimonies in church, and that the people wanted to see all the stories, not just one, so the service went long and they didn’t have a sermon.

3. Work on new projects. What does God have ahead for us? I don’t want to rush into this, but spend time in prayer, and talking to others about how we can best reach people through media. I have a discipleship booklet for adults to complete yet, though.

On July 17 church leaders, missionaries and anyone who wants to will attend a kick-off event for the ¿Ahora Qué? youth discipleship project at the Malaga Media Center. Eber Duarte will be showcasing the booklet, DVD and web site, as well as all the other material produced by the Spanish Ministries department. Pray that the material will be distributed and used widely.

I've finished editing the ¿Ahora Qué? youth discipleship project videos. It will be sent off for duplication real soon. The web site is looking really good too, and should be ready to go live before too long.
Lesson 7 is about our mission as Christians - to tell others about Jesus. It also recaps a few other lessons. No subtitles, so enjoy the Spanish.
