W.O.W. World Tour Continues in France, Spain, & Portugal
We are on the airplane flying home from the Walking On Water outreach tour in France and Spain. I noticed that the guy sitting in front of us was watching a surfing film and as I looked closer I was amazed to see that it was one of our past films titled “The Outsiders”. As we talked I remembered meeting him at our screening/outreach in San Sebastian, Spain. God’s divine appointments are so incredible! The four W.O.W. movie screenings could not have been more blessed. When people in Spain and France hear of Christianity they immediately think of all the terrible things done in the past in their countries in the name of religion. Southwest France and Spain are very un-reached with the Gospel and approximately 100 Basque-speaking evangelical Christians out of nearly 1 million Basque speakers. God really used the unconventional tool of the W.O.W. surf movie being shown in their local bar/restaurants as a great opportunity for the Gospel message to be proclaimed. We realized that the movie and message were both received very well by the applause and meaningful conversations following the movie. The locals in the Basque country of Spain were impressed when they realized the W.O.W. movie had been translated into their language especially because no other surf film has been translated into their language (Besides “The Outsiders”). Our goals to share the Gospel, encourage the missionary couples/local churches, and to strengthen long-term friendships were definitely accomplished with God’s help. We were very blessed to partner with Christian Surfers France/Spain/Portugual and would like to thank Buck and Donna Waters, Chris and Megan Probasco, Joseba and Joanna Attard, Shane And Ruth Sparks, Derek Erwin, Ian, the Parenty Family, and also the Brethren church in Gijon.
Please be praying for the upcoming W.O.W. world tour outreaches in Peniche, Portugual on Oct. 24th, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico on Oct. 28th, and Lima, Peru in December.
