Christmas Program

These last two nights, our church had it's anual Christmas program. They had such a packed house last year, that this year they had decided to have the program on two separate nights and have different people come on each night in order to make sure there was enough room for everyone that came.

This year the Lord blessed with 78 people the first night and 77 tonight. Many of those people were first time visitors and lost. Last night we had a total of 18 first time visitors, with 16 of those having never put their faith in Christ as their Savior. They heard a very clear plan of salvation and we are praying that the Holy Spirit would continue to do a work in their hearts. I don't have tonight's final count of first timers, but it was equally high.

It was such a blessing to be a part of this year's program and to see the Lord at work each night. Aaron sang in the children's choir, I played the piano and Jeff worked on all the technical end of things and sang in the choir. He even sang a duet with another guy in the choir! Can you believe it, Mom? jeje We had a blast! Here are some pictures from the last two nights.


Miriam , on the far right, brought three of her friends from school with her.


This lady and her son (pictured below) came for the first time, along with her husband and daughter. The four of them are deaf and almost didn't come, but they were very moved by everything and impressed by how many people in church were able to communicate with them through sign language. We had 6 deaf people that came on the first night and they all are lost. Please pray for their salvation!




This man has been coming for years, but only for special occasions, and his son is a faithful member of the church. Please pray that his hard heart will be broken!


This lady was invited by a family in the church who lives in her same apartment complex.


Hna. Maria is in her 80's and is a wonderful testimony of faithfulness to the Lord.


The kids did such a great job with their parts. I think they stole the show! The little girl next to Aaron, Vera, has a daddy who is a drunk and on drugs. He needs the Lord and has been fighting salvation for some time now. He was there tonight!


Here are some scenes from the play ...






Our very talented cast... = )


Happiness after a great two nights!

What a blessing it is to be in the service of the King!

Thank you so much for your kind words. The Lord has taught me so much regarding how to overcome shyness.
I enjoyed looking at your blog a bit more. How long have you been missionaries to Spain? Where are you from originally?

God Bless You.
