Key City: Madrid
Madrid, the most influential city in Spain, contains huge challenges. But staff members are building relationships that will provide a framework in working with Current Leaders and Influencers, as well as Future Leaders.
Pray for Madrid
- Ask God for reinforcements, that He would call people to serve in this city. "We have four staff members now," says Miguel Angel Cano, "we need 40."
- Pray that our staff team might develop an ever greater sense of family.
- Pray that God keeps opening doors to higher levels of society, and that He gives grace to reach the influencers of the city.
- Pray that Mezzo develops in Madrid, and especially that we can reach the world of flamenco.
- Ask God to raise up a ministry among artists and musicians.
- Gabino Fernández is retiring soon, pray that God raises up somebody to replace him at the Centre of Reformation Studies.
- Pray for the University Ministry, that God would give Alba wisdom in developing new strategies to reach students. It is becoming ever more difficult to create natural contexts to meet with students.
- Pray for Daniel and Vanina Demai as they reach out to non-believers through strengthening marriages and families.
