Spain

By Frank S. Bond

FRANK S. BOND
We are thankful to be able to report progress in the work in Spain. God is surely working upon hearts in this land by his Holy Spirit.
For a number of years we have been distributing thousands of copies of our missionary paper Senales de los Tiempos, and we have believed from the beginning that this would be an important factor in the advancement of God’s message of truth in Spain. “We shall reap, if we faint not,” is just as true today as when Paul wrote that letter to the Galatians.
Recently a man in the province of Tarragona sent to our mission treasurer 338 pesetas (about $67) tithe, stating that this was his tithe for the last two years. He also said that by the Lord’s help he would at the end of this year give the Lord his own.
A woman in the province of Lerida has also lately sent some money to help the work, and she calls for some one to come to her place to teach the truth. She has been reading our paper for about two years. We are not personally acquainted with her.
God is blessing the reading matter in Spain. We expect many and great results from this means. We need many consecrated paper workers in this field.
Our paper is a good seller, and one can obtain yearly subscriptions for it if he will only make the effort. Last Sunday morning, in a neighboring town, the Lord helped me to sell seventy-three papers in about two hours, and this week he helped me get several yearly subscriptions on our list.
Yesterday I received a good letter from one of the believers at Baeza. He tells of five there who are awaiting baptism. I am planning to go to Baeza within a week or two, and hope that by further effort others may unite with those five to follow their Master. Baeza is where my brother Walter last labored, and where he is now sleeping. Brother Nicolas and family also labored faithfully at this place.
At Albacete, capital of the province of the same name, some have begun to keep the Sabbath, and are very anxious that we open up work in that city. My plan is to visit that place on my way to Baeza. There are several new Sabbath keepers in the province of Saragossa.
We ask an interest in the prayers of God’s people for the advancement of his work here. Pray for additional laborers for Spain.
