A Woman's Legacy: Pray for the Spain Women's Retreat
We hosted a wonderful women's retreat last November in Madrid. When we discussed planning the 2019 retreat, we struggled to nail down timing, a leadership team, and more. We nearly abandoned the project, until our co-laborer Jane in Toledo kept getting woken up in the middle of the night to pray about hosting a women's retreat.
Out of obedience, she booked a Civic Center, some speakers, and wrote notes on what the Lord was telling her about the theme and His plans for the women who would attend. She recruited helpers from her own church plant and we rallied behind her to develop workshop content, music and a schedule.
And so the 2020 women's retreat hosted by ABEME* churches was born, and it is taking place this weekend in Toledo, Spain.
We asked the Lord for 150 attendees and we are currently close to 100 registered. The theme is "El Legado de Una Mujer" - A Woman's Legacy. The idea is that we are all going to leave a legacy for our families and communities, so how can we be intentional to create a beautiful, Biblical legacy that pleases the Lord?
Will you join us in prayer? Please pray for...
Safety and prompt arrival of every woman
Peace and good preparation for our session speakers and workshop leaders
Health for the MANY who have been fighting colds
Smooth Spanish for the non-native speakers, and praise God for the number of Spanish ministry leaders participating
The Gospel to be presented clearly and beautifully, many times
Believers to be spurred to action and inspired to reach their neighbors and create a beautiful legacy for their families
