Lots going on.

Where to start?

Well the best place to start I suppose would be with salvations. 

Following my induction service, we have settled into the church in Calahonda quite quickly. 

Naomi is heading up the worship side of things which she is enjoying and I'm enjoying bringing the teaching series. 

Enough of that, what I am so excited about is that 2 young lads, Sinclair and Sean who seemingly came in to mock what was going on, got so touched by the message they were seen crying during the message. Now I have had that before in my sermons, but for very different reasons. To cut a long story short they both responded to the salvation appeal at the end. They were not here this week, but nonetheless the journey has begun. 

This Sunday, we heard a testimony of Doug an Elim pastor from dunstable who was recently diagnosed with Cancer, following much prayer from our Calahonda Elim church, he had a very successful operation and is recovering very well. He gave testimony to Gods healing power yesterday.

Laura and Joe. 

Laura and Joe are professional entertainers on the coast. Joe does a tribute to Sammy Davis Jnr amongst others, he is a musician, tap dancer and singer. Laura his wife to be is an outstanding singer. I am marrying them in September. They came to church yesterday and both gave their lives to The Lord. We had a very enriching conversation with them afterwards and prayed with them both.

Please pray for them all, that they continue on their journey of discovery. 

Thanks for your ongoing prayer and financial support. 

Every blessing,

Dave

Great weekend.

What a great weekend! Induction service Friday with Elim missions director Paul Hudson and a very emotional farewell service, for Peter and Annette yesterday.

New church

Tomorrow is my first Sunday as Pastor of the calahonda church. Pray for me but more importantly pray for them lol.

On the mission field

Sometimes it can feel quite lonely on the mission field. You miss your family and friends in the uk and your colleagues. But every now and then God brings friends your way, he did today. It was great having lunch with a lovely family who are supporting our ministry. We are so blessed to have friends who believe in us and Gods ability to use us for his kingdom. Praise God for friends.

36 percent unemployed

The news today that andalucia is the region of Spain with the highest percentage of unemployed is no surprise to those of us who live here. 36 percent are claiming benefits and there will be a big percentage that are no longer entitled to benefits. It's not unusual to meet people who have been unemployed for more than 5 years. Some how we need as the body of Christ to be able to help people set up businesses and make a living in Spain. Please pray for us.

New church

Yesterday we bid a fond farewell to Kayleigh our American friend who was part of out TNT group. She moves back to New York State this week. 

I preached at the Calahonda church yesterday and I think it was well recieved. Naomi and I take over the pastorate in May. 

Please keep us in prayer.

Visit of Paul Hudson

We have just had a great weekend with Paul Hudson missions director of the Elim movement. Paul brought humour, inspiration, insight and most importantly he poured out his heart for mission to us.  I feel very positive about the future of Elim missions under the leadership of Paul and his great team. Please keep them in prayer along with us of course.

Working together

Last night Naomi led worship at the ark Christian fellowship in Fuengirola for the visit of Roger Forster. It's great that the churches no longer feel threatened by each other but are now working closer. 

This week we are inviting them to our church in Benalmádena for the visit of Paul Hudson the missions director for Elim. We are looking forward to hosting Paul. 

Please pray for our non Christian friends Laura and Jorge they want to be parents and start ivf next week. They would count it a miracle if God was to bless them with a child. 

Thanks for your ongoing support.

Preparations for the new church.

Well it's very exciting times ahead for us as we prepare to transition to our new church in Mijas costa.  Please keep us all in prayer, also please pray that we get accepted for finance on a car as we need desperately to replace the one we have now. Thanks
