Sights from Switzerland, Updates from Spain

It was wonderful to partner with our new YWAM friends at the Montreux Jazz Festival for these 12 events. The YWAM tent has quite a reputation here at the festival and many annual attenders come year after year to watch the quality entertainment and receive seeds of the Gospel. We heard of one man who learned about Jesus from the YWAM team at the Festival one year. It stuck with him and he thought about it all year. He came back the following year and gave his life to Christ! We have no idea how God is at work!

Dustin had several meaningful conversations with Nasar from Oman, pictured here. He is in our prayers!

Our last night in Switzerland ended quite spectacularly with a thunder and lightening show while Dustin was finishing up on the 10 footer, followed by a gigantic, nearly frightening hail storm as we madly packed up and headed for cover.

We got a report from the group we worked with in Baeza Spain that ten people have prayed to received Christ through the events of the Bible Festival and they have over 100 addresses for follow up. This town of 16,000 people which had no Christians at the beginning of July, now has a handful of baby believers in Jesus and we pray a church will come from this fruit. Please continue to pray for all these new believers and for those who heard the truth but have yet to respond!

Espana

Hey everyone. We finally have an internet connection tonight... We made it to Spain safe and sound. Five of our Six pieces of luggage made it and after many phone calls and some compromises with the shipping company on the ground our last piece of luggage arrived just in time to get set up for our first program.

We are involved in a Bible Festival campaign in Baeza about 4 hours south of Madrid. Baeza is a small Pueblo of 16,000 that has no evangelical Christian presence. There are no believers and no church except for a small group of faithful missionaries who have moved here recently to bring Christ to the local people. We are praying that the Lord will sow seeds of change through this campaign. Our first performance Saturday night was in the main Plaza in the center of town. Our organizers hoped for 50 people in the audience and we ended up with nearly 200. Word got out and the next night we had about 450 present.

Please pray that many will attend the events in the next few days and that many will be open to hearing the Gospel for the first time. Also pray for Dustin's knees. His right knee is swollen and he's experiencing some limited range of motion.

Thanks for all the prayers and support! This is a beautiful country with amazing people, ancient architecture, and endless olive groves.
