"Europe is dead! Hard! A corpse! Europe is ripe for the anti-Christ and nothing else!" Those words have echoed in my ears and even spilled from my mouth for many years. But no more!

Shalom V.P. Walter Contreras and I returned a while back from a place that the Apostle Paul tried to reach but couldn't. Spain! The youth conference was held in the mountains near Alicante. We preached. Taught. Counseled. Poured out our hearts day and night. Would they be God's Joshua Generation for Spain? Would they be God's spiritual conquistadors who would reach Spain, Europe and the world with the power and love of Jesus?

I gave the call and the march began!

Then I gave the call and the march began. For three nights, young and older filled the front of the outside theater and courtyard as they committed their lives to Christ. The devil's drugs, sex, porn and prejudice were rejected and the old rugged cross embraced instead. And to think this all began many years before in Argentina when we challenged other young people to take their stand for Jesus and reach the world. Gustavo and Fabiana answered that call and went to Spain. I helped them plant the church up north and now, years later, they were our hosts down south as the revolution of the Spirit continues to spread.

People are tired of mere religion.

And what about the older generation? Many claim to be atheists and appear hard. Then you show care and gently answer their accusations against God with His love that has come to save, not condemn them. And then you see the truth. Most people in Spain (and Europe) are not hard. They are hurt! In Spain, dead religion has called for peoples' pocketbooks but is as lost as paganism. People are tired of mere religion. Hurt by it. But those chords in hearts that appear broken and hard can be restored and vibrate with God's forgiveness and love. We saw it happen!

...pray for the great numbers of lives we touched who said "YES!" to Jesus

Pray for Spain. Pray for Europe. And pray for the great numbers of lives we touched who said "YES!" to Jesus. Oh, and pray for our needs this month as we continue to say "YES" to the Holy Spirit's open doors.

God bless you and meet your every need,
