Two missionary couples with ABWE are assisting in the church in Campo Real, Spain, near Madrid. The Clodgos and the Joneses work together to serve this congregation. Chris and Deb Hindal joined them on Sunday, May 12. Chris challenged them with the worldwide impact of Gospel Literature Services and the International Partnership (IPFBM). Many expressed appreciation as it encouraged them. The work in Spain is slow and difficult, and it helped them to see that the Lord is building His church in great ways even in unlikely places. Note the picture of the 4-year old on the worship team who strums his guitar in rhythm with the rest of the team.

The Hindals enjoyed and greatly appreciated the hospitality of missionaries, Roy and Nancy Jones. The culture of Spain shifts the day about three hours later, meaning that lunch is about 3:00 PM and the evening meal is about 10:00 PM. Spaniards go to bed around 2:00 AM. The ABWE team in Spain varies from 8-12 couples or singles.

May 1–4 was a blessed week in our church plant endeavor, for a total of 205 persons faithfully committed their lives to Christ during our teaching and preaching workshop in a town called Sumo Village some 58 miles from Kakata. Measures are being put into place to start a Bible study in that village two weeks from now that will eventually become a vibrant Baptist church, thus serving as light in the Bong Mines Community.

Hindals join Baptist Mid-Missions retreat in Manilva, Spain

Baptist Mid-Missions missionaries of Spain met together in Manilva, Spain with their field administrator, Vernon Rosenau, for a time of spiritual refreshment, fellowship and team business. Chris and Deb Hindal met with them one day and were given the opportunity to present the GARBC International Ministries, especially the International Partnership. While all of the evangelical missionaries from various mission agencies appear to have good personal fellowship, there is no organized church association. Many of the churches with Baptist Mid-Mission roots use Regular Baptist Press materials in Spanish provided by Editorial Bautista Independiente. Chris challenged them to consider translating more current Regular Baptist Press materials into Spanish.

Hindals in Portugal

Chris and Deb Hindal moved about Lisbon with missionary Brent Lowe as he shuttled us from one place to another on Sunday, May 5. Chris preached and presented the ministries at the Baptist church in Loures in the morning. Sunday School started at 10:15 AM and the morning service let out about 1:15 PM. It was nearly 2:00 PM before we left because the believers tend to stay around and fellowship together. In the afternoon we joined a houseful of missionaries for a one year old’s birthday. Chris also preached and brought the ministry challenge in the evening at the Baptist church in Miratejo. The evening service is their main worship service so it was a full church, complete with a worship team, guitars and drums. God brought delight to our hearts as we worshiped with them. Though ministry in Portugal is slow and challenging, God is building His church and using both the missionaries and the nationals to lovingly bring traditional

Roman Catholics to saving faith in Jesus Christ.
