STORM Team to Spain and Morocco

I'll be in Spain in 16 days! I can't believe the time's come when the team and I will be stepping into a new realm. We're moving forward. We're not conforming.

From June 15th to July 4th, I'll be in Spain and Morocco. We're going to be in southern Spain and in Ceuta, a Spanish city in Morocco. Purpose? To empower and minister to the people of that region through teaching, prayer, and worship.

In Malaga we're going to have a conference where we'll have pastors and worship leaders that we will be ministering to. Then, we're going to Ceuta to be with a group of missionaries that are in charge of Betel in that city. Betel is a rehab center. So we're going to be going out, and with all our strength and energy find the homeless, drug addicts and prostitutes to pray and minister to them. But, mainly to just love them. In Betel the majority of the ex-drug addicts who have given their lives to Christ have HIV; the team leaders Eugene and Joy Greco tell us that these people live everyday with so much passion, love, and hope. They live everyday as if it was their last... They know the full meaning of the word "grace."

I think about the apostle Paul, when in jail, in the middle of the night; lift his voice in worship with Silas. God delivered the prisoners. That's the freedom that we want to see in Spain and Morocco.

I've been getting ready all this time. That's one of the main reasons I haven't been able to post. When I come back I'll try to have some pictures and testimonies.


In hot pursuit,

SD...etc
