We were blessed this Palm Sunday by a message from Edgar, a Venezuelan businessman who is involved in our Camarma church.  Man, can that guy preach!  He related the book of Philemon to the reason Christ died for us.  I get to pray next week about the resurrection.

We related some information in our last update about the need for church planting in Spain.  In fact the percentage of believers in Spain is less than many countries commonly accepted as mission fields, such as China, India, Egypt and all of Latin America.

Madrid is considered by some to be "reached" because there are a couple of hundred churches in it.  The percentage of believers in Madrid is still under one percent.  But in the last couple of weeks we've discovered a huge section of the city that has no evangelical presence.  There is an urbanization called Las Tablas that is so new it doesn't appear on Google.  Hundreds of thousands of people live in Las Tablas and nearby Sanchinarro and there is no church there.  A Venezuelan family has moved there for business and would love to be part of a church plant.  Several families are considering joining them: please pray with the McMillans, Muhas, Yauns and Miramares about the possibility of forming a team.

A friend and co-worker, Lois Belch (wife of Dave), recently had a visa denied for work in Tenerife, and island belonging to Spain.  This is a concern for the work there and in all of Spain.

We are hoping for opportunities to reach out to neighbors this Holy Week.  We had a good chance to meet a couple of new neighbors yesterday.

Thanks for praying with us.
