The rest of the team will prayer-walk in Alcásser, a nearby town that does not have an evangelical church.

Pray that the day’s activities and this evening’s Bible Study will provide many opportunities to share the message of Christ. Pray that the Holy Spirit would lead Jim as he teaches our 2nd discipleship night on the doctrine of God and for Pastor Wes as he translates.

Pray for Pastor Wes as he translates. Give thanks for the work God is doing in Valencia and ask for many to come to know Christ as their Lord and Savior. You are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone. – EPHESIANS 2:19-22 DAY 9: Friday, July 13 • The team will spend the day sightseeing and learning more about the culture of Spain.
