April '03

Stop press:

The other night, 18h March, two Romanian citizens were shot dead on the streets on Arganda del Rey, Madrid. It appears that the killing may be the work of a psychopath. This was the third such killing in the past few weeks, with cards from a pack being placed by the bodies, first an ace, then a two and now the three and four. Since many of the over 1000 Romanians in Arganda are members of the Romanian evangelical church in the town it is possible they were believers. Since the start of the year, over 30 people have died in violent killings in the province of Madrid. This is a serious escalation of insecurity.

Arise, Spain and Shine!

Permanent Network for the evangelisation of Spain

The people of God is awaking. We are amazed at the speed with which the spirit both of leaders and church members has woken up to the need to join the Prayer Network. We are trusting for a big catch, due to the unity and cooperation. Why don?t you print this out and pass it around or forward it to your friends by e.mail? Then sign up for a 15 minute slot in the prayer network yourself. Send a mail to ceeoracion@yahoo.es giving name, time chosen to pray (and your time zone!) More in Spanish is available on the project at the Evangelists? Conference site.
