  • September

    Thank you, Partners, for your generous and faithful support! We had a great time with you in the USA as we spoke about what God is doing in your lives and ours.


    A time of conferences and great fellowship:

    Everywhere we went we spoke to listening ears about the great opportunity to harvest souls in Europe. Hearts are being stirred to pray and to serve and to give so that none of this precious fruit will be lost. Thank you for joining your faith and love with us so that each one will be reached!


    Ministry and more important connections:

    You are making such a difference!

    Who would listen to you in the matter? For as is the share of him who goes into the battle, so shall his share be who stays by the baggage. They shall share alike. – I Samuel 30:24

    The Bible teaches that we share together in the reward for everything this ministry accomplishes. We cannot do what we are doing without you. You provide prayers and faith and financial support that we absolutely need to obey God through reaching people over here. You have responsibilities at home that make it so, no matter how much you want to, you can’t spend all your time sharing the gospel in these nations where so few have heard and seen. 

    We make a great team! Together we are building God’s Kingdom in the earth. Our rewards will be exceeding great as we each do what the Lord is asking us to do. We love traveling this road with you! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!



    “For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”
    – Jesus Christ in Luke 19:10

    While in the USA, I shared that, statistically, we have lost 115 million Europeans to hell since we began this work fifteen years ago. Later, as I listened to one of my Pastor’s sermons, he quoted that. When he did, faith rose in my heart to contend for the souls that would be lost in the near future. I believe God is giving all of us as a team His divine plan and ability to reap this harvest in Him. These souls will be won!

    Mission trip to United Kingdom & Sicily

    September 23 – December 1, 2026

    Our first big mission trip of more than 2 months is just a few weeks away. We believe that the Lord has dealt with us specifically about the UK and Sicily so we are splitting our time between them. This long trip will give us much more time to reach and develop connections with the locals. We trust God to show us how to get His life-giving truth to them in a life-changing way!
    Please pray that the Lord will guide us to the right people and give us His supernatural words and power to meet the deepest need. His Word says: “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” (Romans 8:14), and “[praying]… for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel” (Ephesians 6:19).

    Help us go and sow the truth of God’s Word where few have heard. Every offering adds up!


    Praise God the church in Burgos keeps moving forward:


    Thank you again for your prayers and partnership. We believe that God is putting together all of our prayers, giving, and steps of obedience to provide good, stable, Word & Spirit ministry all over the world. The Gospel must be preached in all nations. This revival must come to full fruition. The harvest must be gathered in. The Lord must return! By His grace we will be faithful in our generation. Many blessings to you and yours!

  • June 2026

    Thank you, Partners, for helping us bring the light of the full gospel to Europe. Look at what God is doing!



    Evangelism highlight:

    “Does [he] not leave the ninety-nine… and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?” – Jesus Christ in Luke 15:4

    Michel (name changed) is a businessman that we have worked with for a long time. He was raised Muslim, but lives a nonreligious life. His mother has been institutionalized with schizophrenia. Our team members (including you through your prayers and giving) and I have ministered to him for years, encouraging him during his divorce and praying for healing after a motorcycle accident. This year when I had an opportunity to meet with him, I wondered if it was even worth it. At times in the past he has been passionately opposed to the gospel.
    This time was different! He asked many questions and received the Bible’s answers. He told me, “Rich, you have changed. The things you are saying make sense now!” (Perhaps it is he that has changed…) He even told me that we should plant a church together in his hometown.
    How the Lord loves these! We will follow Him and patiently endure to see gospel fruit!


    Church BBQ in Spain:


    Evangelism: Go ye and share the gospel!


    Evangelism highlight:

    “Go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in…”
     – Our Lord Jesus in a parable in Luke 14:23

    Ernie (name changed) is an unsaved businessman. He was raised Mormon, but has not practiced any religion for decades. He has a hunger for truth and community. Over the years, we have had long discussions with him about many things, including the gospel and a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus. Again, I wondered if I should bother connecting with him, since he never seemed truly interested.
    I decided to go see him. My heart broke as he shared the following (to my best recollection): “The last time you were here, you left me your card and some literature. I knew that I had to be in agreement with my wife, so I took it to her and asked her what she thought. She said, ‘Oh you used to be a Mormon and you are still a Mormon. You need to stop all of this ridiculous stuff.’ So I just let it go.” He is more open than he seems! He hungers for eternal truth! We will let the Lord continue to use us to love him no matter the cost.

    The Next Big Step in Missions

    Next month we are off to do an outreach in Utrecht, the Netherlands. This is a very important trip. Ever since we moved to Spain and planted the church over 10 years ago, we have sensed the Lord telling us that Europe was a different type of field that needed an immense amount of outreach. We did our best to obey this calling through around 20 trips outside of Spain since 2015.

    Beginning with this mission to Utrecht in April, we move into the next stage of this work. With God’s grace and more time in these cities, we will use our knowledge and the contacts we have made to do evangelism, Bible studies, and ultimately church planting. Together with your partnership we will bring the bright light of the gospel where it is most needed and make a lasting impact for God’s Kingdom.

    We have been praying about and preparing for this move for over 10 years. We recently sought counsel from our Pastor and other respected ministers. One life-long missionary even advised me to do this exact type of ministry before I told Him that the Lord had been leading me this way. Glory to God!

    This move will increase our monthly expenses considerably, but more people, in more places, will be saved and discipled! “And my God shall supply every need of yours (and ours) according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Phil. 4:19
