Spain: the Son in the sun
Spain has a long secular history of pioneering and world conquest.
Yet after hundreds of years of Christian witness, the nation today lacks a strong evangelical presence. The evangelical and charismatic church is small and, for the most part, not very resourceful.
But there are some Christian leaders in Spain who are committed to seeing that change!
There is one growing conference that mobilises Christians to present a relevant and empowering witness for Jesus across Spain.
Held in the Costa del Sol region which is renowned as a tourist mecca, the annual conference is one of the few cutting edge spiritual events in this part of the nation.
It is the brainchild of a father-son team from Sweden who have put down deep roots in Spain and established a thriving group of churches in the nation.
Mal Fletcher was invited to speak at this year's event which saw a strong call to sacrifice, prayer and influence.
Mal's co-speaker was pastor Alberto Salcedo Penaloza, leader of Bolivia's Ekklesia churches, where a truly remarkable national awakening is underway.
Since 1986, the church in the capital La Paz alone has grown from just 150 members to over 20,000 active participants every Sunday! Hundreds of other churches across the country are working together and having a strong influence in national affairs.
Bolivia was once a colony of Spain but God is turning the tables of history. He is bringing a seed of awakening from a small nation of just 9 million people to stir a sleeping giant!
Next W@ve is investigating the possibilities for holding its annual network meetings in this part of Spain in 2002-3.

Hi there. I watched your EDGES programme today about fear. It was very interesting and was, I thought, presented in a very intelligent way.

Mal, you are the man! Great insights on how to stay focused on the truth in a "post-Christian" society and present the message of Jesus in a relevant way to secularized Europeans. Keep it up!

I watched your EDGES show on witchcraft yesterday, it was really good! I use to dabble in that stuff & God let me know that there really was a devil & God!
