Spain

By Frank Bond

FRANK BOND

There are eight or nine provinces in Spain where some evangelical effort has already been made, and in every one of these a faithful worker should be located without delay. In fact, at least one ministerial laborer and several Bible workers should be located in each of the forty-nine provinces of Spain. Nineteen million souls in this dark land, which has for so many centuries been bound by the chains of Roman Catholicism, are without God and without hope in the world. At present our force of workers is one ordained minister, three Bible workers, and a few canvassers.

O dear brethren and sisters, pray for God's work in Spain! Pray that the lives of the few remaining workers may be spared, and that God's power may be manifested in their efforts to win souls to his precious truth. Pray that additional laborers may soon be sent to fill the places of those who have fallen at their posts.

Our faith leads us to believe that the coming week of prayer will produce such results in favor of our mission fields as we have never seen. Surely the time has come when we should expect greater things from God.

I see by the REVIEW which has reached us today, that there are two hundred students enrolled in our Washington Missionary College. Why cannot a few of these decide to come to Spain?

Thus far during 1915 I have had the privilege of baptizing twenty-one believers, and others are awaiting an opportunity to take this forward step. Sometimes we are led to feel that the time and effort required to lead one soul to walk in the truth here, might perhaps be sufficient to bring a large number of persons to the truth in some heathen land. There are precious jewels scattered throughout Spain, however, and our great need is faithful laborers to help gather them.
