Hello, Friends, family, prayer partners and financial supporters!
Thank you for your donations, your generosity has helped me get closer to my goal for Spain. I am praying and getting ready to go on my first vision exploration to Almeria, Spain, and Jordan, through the M.T.S program. I am blessed and excited to be asked to accompany the team, as part of this exploration, scoping out a new territory, just as Joshua was sent to scope out the land that God had called him too.
This is most important as missionaries. To go to areas where the gospel has not been fully preached. The purpose of sharing God’s Word of truth is for the furtherance of the Kingdom message. Almeria is small city in 10/40 window. This is my first time with C.C.S.G. church. I truly believe that this course at MTS has been pivotal in my understanding of what it means to be called and to continue the work that Jesus and his disciples continued to til this day. I have responded to the call of Isaiah 6:8 whom shall I send?
I respond, Here I am, Lord send me where no man wants to go.
Let me be your hands and feet. Let my voice declare the wonder of your mighty love and Your purpose for sending us to the ends of the earth. Acts1:8, and you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all of Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
He is Almighty God, He has given me a burning desire to share the good news of salvation, the message of hope, to the lost and dying world. I am excited to see what the Lord will do this May in this small area of the world.
A little history about Almeria, Spain.
It has a rich history going back to the year 955 A.D. Founded as a Muslim naval base.
In 1489 it became fully Christian under Catholic Monarchs. Today 86% of the Almeria’s population identify as Catholics and Muslims, and Protestants make up 14%. This mix of history and faith, is the background of Almeria. The second largest Muslim fortress, in Andalusia, it is a living remnant of an era, where the earliest phases of copper, silver and gold started to be worked.
They call this the Bronze and Iron Ages. The Phoenicians formed many colonies in this area of Almaria, and were the ancient Semitic people. Located on the Mediterranean Coast. The Phoenicians were, the renown Canaanites, a Semitic speaking people, descendants of Shem. They were a sea faring civilization, a commercial hub of the Western Mediterranean and Northwest African territories. I ask for prayer for not only myself during this trip and the days leading up and as we prepare but for the church plant in 2027. I never thought of Almeria Spain. I believe my native language Italian, will be very useful for me in Spain. I am a former Catholic, and I love speaking to Catholic people, God knows what He is doing, even if I don’t. And there will be many converts. To God be the glory. MTS school has been good for me, learning so much, on how to be more effective in the field, learning to be patient, the importance of prayer, intercessions and supplications made to our Lord. He is faithful to respond when we are in His will. The Lord has blessed me with a weekly bible study with two different women that I am disciplining, one is Iranian who accepted Jesus Christ and is already baptized. Both are learning and are so hungry for the truth. God is so good while I wait and see where He will take me for the long term.
Thank you so much for your financial support your fervent prayers, and your patience with me since I have not been diligent in writing a letter every month. I will try my best to send one in April. Love you all, may the Lord bless you and keep you in his perfect peace, and before I send my letter, I always pray for each of you that subscribes to my newsletter. Can’t wait to share with you when I return. And all that the Lord will do and I am praying for divine appointments. Pray for clarity from the Lord, pray for kingdom fruit, let us not forget to prayerfully consider the state of the world. Pray for those that are in authority, that they would come to know Jesus Christ, the Only King, that can rule the hearts of men. Pray for those that are in authority in Syria, Iran, Israel, Turkey, all the surrounding nations. That the LOVE of God would raise up an army of more workers because the harvest is great. But there are few workers. Amen
