Spain

The journey to Spain is beginning. For many years, I've hoped to live there and wondered how things would work out. Well, what God puts in someone's heart, He puts there for a reason. Next week I'm going for a reccy to Badajoz and Navalmoral de la Mata. I'll be leaving on the 18th and visiting old friends at the weekend. Then I'll be meeting the couple in whose English Academy I may work (hence my attempt to be grammatically sound).

I feel a bit like Joshua and Caleb - sussing out the promised land. They went with hearts open to God's purpose. Please pray that I would do the same. Unlike them, I can't see myself staying more than a few months/years, but who knows?! I don't expect to meet any giants, but I'm looking forward to the grapes and the pomegranates!

Maybe I should give a little background on my Spain links. I know several people in Badajoz from the school mission visits I've been on. They have a tremendous burden to share the Gospel of Jesus with the people of that region. It has always been a privilege to visit and work with them.

Please pray that:

1. I would get everywhere I'm supposed to be and at the right time
2. I'd be encouraged to learn the Spanish language well
3. the people I meet would hear from God regarding if and where I fit in
4. I would know very clearly whether I should (or shouldn't) go to live in Spain

Thanks a lot.
