MAY – JUNE ’06 EDITION ~ NEWS UPDATES FROM THE LAUDENCIAS ~ ART
COMPANY MINISTRY W/ YWAM SPAIN ~ www.artcompanyspain.org.
EVANGELISM WITH CHURCHES About 200 people were ministered to by ART Company last April 1 & 15 in the
Nueva Vida Church – Ascao and in the Manantial Church – Torrejon, Open doors keep us going. The team is growing deeper in their
relationship with the Lord through the wonderful results & truths the
Lord has been manifesting to both these youths and old alike seeing souls
saved, and most especially the way the Lord uses each of us despite of who we
are, ordinary & weak but
considered as noble vessels in the hands of our Master – our Lord Jesus
Christ, Amen!!! KIDS CAMP IN PEÑA DE
HOREB 48 kids responded to receive the Lord
Jesus in their hearts during the Kid’s Camp.
For a week, April 6-12 a group of churches brought their kids (ages
8-12) to Pena de Horeb. For three
consecutive years they have been encouraging the parents to send their
children to this camp. This time, the
theme was “PIRATES FOR CHRIST”. In
one of the sessions, Rey held theatre
workshops preparing for the grand day when the pirates would visit Rome and experience the ancient banquette
with a Roman King and see how the Christians were being persecuted and killed
in the grand arena. A perfect
opportunity for ART Company to present the Gospel through this musical
play. With receptive hearts, most of
the kids accepted the Lord, indicating their decision by lighting
candles. It was such a touching experience. Praise God for these young lives rescued
from death to eternal life. PASTORS CONFERENCE IN
TOLEDO About
a hundred pastors from all over Spain gathered for a four day
conference (April 25-28) in Toledo, Madrid. Sponsored by Grace Mission, USA
founded by Dr. David Kim from Korea , such a special treat was rendered. |
It was a refreshing time of receiving, so timely for pastors
who were mostly drained and discouraged for all the constant pressures in the
ministry. The Holy Spirit moved in
such a gentle and loving way as the Korean approach in the ministry was
introduced to the Spanish culture. It
was such an innovative experience for most of us. A program starting from 6:00 AM, with breaks in between but
none stop til 11:00 PM. Exhausting
physically and yet so refreshing spiritually. The early morning group prayers, spirit filled teaching
sessions , enthusiastic worship time, warm fellowship during meal time, and
all the gestures of love through simple gifts, love notes for everyone,
special presentations, & artistic ambiance made the pastors felt such a mountain top experience with
the Lord. He knows that all of us
needed this from time to time. Thank
God! GOD’S FAMILY EXTENDED Vivien’s sister, Sol, accepted the
Lord. Last 17-19 April, we were able
to visit her in France, her husband died 2 years now, for lack of opportunity
we were not able to be with her during those difficult moments. This time the Lord opened the door, He gave us the opportunity to minister to
her. Now she is not just part of our family but of God’s wonderful family. Vivs also got the opportunity to preach
during the Mother’s day at the Filipino Church in Plaza España. LIVING WITNESSES IN THE
CITY At the very heart of Madrid, in Puerta
del Sol, ART Company & an international group of young people shared
testimonies in between dances and mime.
Every after 15 minutes we stopped to talk to the people. We had attentive crowd and blessed
conversations. Some of the contacts
were invited to the Christian center nearby for counseling. This will be part of our summer activities
til June. Lord willing, we would be
reaching out to the different parks within the city of Madrid. |
PRAISE GOD FOR OPPORTUNITIES! Our
prayer requests: 1.
LA MOVIDA CAMPAIGN IN MALLORCA – July 1-18, 2006 > We have participants coming from Texas, USA
who will serve us by teaching new choreographies & dances. They will be
our featured performers during the festivals at the parks to be held in Palma
de Mallorca, Manacor & LLoret.
Prayers for all the preparations and safety for all the participants. >
Evangelism will be done by churches through our theatre plays. We needed permits to use the Cultural
Centers for this purpose. Please pray
for God’s divine intervention on this. > Unity among the churches in
Mallorca. That through our united
effort, we could influence the rest of the churches taking away their fear of
collaborating for the expansion of God’s kingdom here in Spain. 2. Festival in Madrid – July 1-5, 2006 > ART Company will be featured on the
“BOart festival” , a community project of one of the churches in Parla,
Madrid. They will provide the gospel
message through mime and testimonies.
May the Lord annoint each of the ART Company participants as they share God´s love (Dani,
Ana, Isaac, Luis & Ma. Isabel). 3. “Covibar for Christ”, the vision to
evangelize this higher middle class community called Covibar using Theatre and music festival . Pray for God’s provision both for finances
