Dear Friends,  

Greetings from rainy Valencia! We have started a Sunday afternoon/evening youth group with Jim and Tanja which runs every two weeks! Thank you for praying as we planned it. This group serves a few purposes. Firstly, to disciple and encourage the young people who attend our church regularly. Secondly, so that our young people can invite their friends to come and explore the bible and hear the good news about Jesus. And thirdly, to prepare for confirmation and Baptism as requested by some parents. We were so delighted when, on our first week, there were ten youth in attendance and since then, two more have joined us. It was encouraging for our own children (and for us as the leaders) to see the young people’s enthusiasm and willingness and how the group gelled from the start. Please pray that this continues, that the young people will go home and continue to talk about things they have heard with their families and that we will continue to see more and more fruit from this work.
