O UR UPDATES IN DETAILS
…
A group of young people came to know the
Lord.
As a result of three weeks effort of putting up “EL
JUICIO FINAL” posters all over Torrejon town in Madrid, weekends prayer
vigil & active participation in inviting people by the church members,
the “Iglesia Manantial” was filled up with people. Our ART COMPANY musical
production crew & theatre performers ministered & then the altar
call in the end. Several hands were raised as the Pastor invited the
people to the altar but, 8 young girls came forward, crying their hearts
out to God accepting Jesus in their hearts. Prepared counselors
ministered. Afterwards, all of them approach Rey at the backstage,
grateful for the impact they received through the ministry of music &
drama. Along with their parents (inquiring for the possibility) they all
gave their names & telephones to sign up to join ART COMPANY. That
Saturday they all came to join our regular practices. Evelyn, one of the
girls, a singer & member of the theatre casts in the community,
offered her help with our voice exercises & be a part of theatre group
. Praise God for such an
incredible , fruitful & victorious evangelism !!!
IMPACTO 2004-06 : a project spearheaded by ART COMPANY in
Mallorca.
A vision from the Lord conceived for about 30 years now in the
heart of a Church Elder is now being materialized. He is our
brother Jaime Fernandez, a Spanish from a Baptist Church in Palma de
Mallorca. As a concept, he defines “CORPORATION” as — “The Body of Christ
together fulfilling the Great Commission”. Referring to Jesus ministry as
He mentioned to be in “His Father’s business” Luke 2:49. He presented the
project with this in mind & called it IMPACTO 2004-2006. Rey met
him during the “MOVIDA” Campaign as he participated & saw our approach
using performing arts in evangelism. He was blessed & challenged that
he invited ART COMPANY to help him with the evangelism their church was
planning to hold for three months. In September 2004, “IMPACTO 2004-06
CAMPAIGN” began with our musical production performances at the nearby
park by the church. Antonio encouraged the participation of the three
churches representing ART COMPANY members (Capdepera, Manacor & Palma)
to join him with the vision. He suggested to do it as a long term project
2004-2006 to saturate the unreached cities & towns in Mallorca with
the Gospel. Last October 08-17’04 we ministered in Lloret, a small town
about 30 min. drive away from Palma, Rey encouraged the Filipino Music
Band to perform along with the ART Company team. The performance was a
CULTURAL CONCERT with international dances, Folk Songs & Instrumental
Numbers along with mime & testimonies. The small community heard the
Gospel message & souls were saved. Among those who came to know the
Lord was a German married to a Filipina, a Spanish couple & some
others who rededicated their lives to the Lord that day.
Then that Sunday afternoon the play “JUICIO FINAL” was
presented in the Baptist Church. Seven souls accepted the Lord — actually
relatives & members belonging to one family. As a result, two
more churches became partners with IMPACTO 2004-2006 — the Filipino
Christian Fellowship & the Salvation Army Church in Palma through
the ART COMPANY team formed within these churches. To God
be the Glory !!!
Connecting with youths & adults
through artistic encounters.
“Saturday Morning Fever” , that’s what we have
from 10:00am til 2:00pm every Saturday! We spend four hours of hectic
practices doing: Hiphop, Flamenco, International Dances & Mime with a
short 15-30 minute break to take refreshments & have devotional time.
Also voice exercises will be added starting November, as we’ve got some
singers in the group wanting to sing for the Lord. We average from 15 to
25 mostly young people. Every time we get new ones interested to join in.
It’s fun and exciting to see the youths taking the lead, always punctual
& really committed. The best place to meet new friends
& be a part of God's big wonderful family. Opportunities like
these challenge us more to keep this ministry going!
ACTIVE participation among the
talented members.
Our Flamenco dances are being taught by Ana
(she’s 16, a full blooded Spanish), Hiphop dances are our Dani’s
specialty, he choreographed & teach it (he’s now 15), Evelyn (18,
she’s from Ecuador), she’s willing to do exercises on vocalization. The
matured ones are collaborating in various ways: Antonio(a Spanish guy)
disciples the group by passing on through internet our art company weekly
devotionals, Silvana (from Columbia) serve as our make up artist/ props
coordinator, Ceasar & Elizet (a couple from Peru) are our ART CO
PALMA, MALLORCA Coordinators, Rose & Joy (from the Philippines) are

Chile) are our Capdepera ART CO Coordinators & more names we will
introduce on our next updates .
Your prayers did it all
!!!
Glory to God !!! Victory after victory is what we’ve been
experiencing...despite of the furious spiritual wrestling every time we
launch to preach the Gospel! The truth of the matter is that we
need to accept the reality that this are all part of our walk with the
Lord, even almost everything seemed to be against us – difficult
circumstances, conflicts, uncooperative weather, material needs,
authorities, sickness etc. These are all part of the challenges we need to
face constantly. Sometimes it’s so easy to listen to the enemy's lies
& threats to give up & retreat but because of each one of you ...
with your prayers, your spiritual & moral support, your love &
generosity, your faithfulness to us & to the Lord, each of you … are
used by the Lord to renew our strengths. To inspire us to face the
challenges ahead with hope & assurance that together we can do it
& make it through the finish line, Amen!!!
