Hello Friends, Ministry Partners, Family, Missionaries, Body of Christ,
Rejoice Ministries, Inc.
“I strive to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named” (Romans 15:20).
(preaching the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life)
When Jesus said, “For God so loved the world,” He was referring to individuals of the world, as it is those that perish without Him (John 3.16).It is those precious individuals that I am now involved with; it has not been the masses in large crusades or auditorium settings, while there is future vision and purpose for that.But individuals know other individuals, and the good news of peace is passed on.
3 such precious individuals are Rosemary, a Dutch girl working on the coast this summer, which I have had 3 unrelated bus ride encounters with her; Selma, the Muslin computer store manager, who grew up in Spain because of Morocco, who I visit frequently her store to share love and truths, knowing I am a Christian; and Wendy, the oldest girl of the Columbia Spanish family, being a born-again Catholic and wants to know more of the power God.
Healing School
“And He Healed Them All” (Luke 6:19) (teaching and preaching Bible truths about physical health and healing)
“Lay hands on the sick and they shall recover” (Mark 16:18).I don’t need to beg God, shout, or even pray, but in faith, lay hands on (the vehicle of the power) according to the Word’s instructions.I follow-up to hear the reports of healing.
“The Beauty of Holiness” (Psalms 96:9) (sharing the love of Jesus with the girls of the night)
The phone calls and appointments has been a slower process this time.I have spent more time walking the streets.I will be placing this ad, among their ads, “find rest for your souls, call….”I have revisited those I knew from last year, reminding them of God’s love and truths.
As always, thanks you for your concerns and interest and prayers and involvement.I think about my homeland and all the special persons there as well, mucho!
Joyce Joy! Joy!Joy!
Field Report, June 2008
Dear Ministry Partners, Friends, Body of Christ, Fellow Missionaries,
Picture 1
It felt natural to return to Spain, even though I went directly to a new city.I had been to Puerto Banus and Marbella on several other occasions, having been drawn here on the first mission in March of 2005.
Picture 2
Within a week, I had a choice of 3 safe and appropriate housing situations.I elected the one I needed the most—renting a room from a Spanish family of 3 girls, (one in weekly English lessons.)Herein, I will greatly improve on my Spanish.
Picture 3 One day I noticed an American yacht from Florida.While this infamous Puerto Banus port has wealth and riches, on the back row of the 2nd street, I was told the English newspaper recently wrote about it as “Hell Street,” where the girls of the night await.
Eternal Life—offering to mankind to change their death sin nature to be filled with God’s loving spirit and character, because of Jesus—that’s the first step…then making disciples through teaching the Word of God.I anticipate renting a spot in a building to teach Bible as much as I can and at different time slots.(The schedule here is much different than USA.)
Picture 4 The peace of the sea…God graced me with a place that has adequate English, blue sky and good food choices.Spain is in transition like everywhere else. Some Europeans say Costa del Sol may become the major get-a-way place in the coming years.
Right now, the summer has brought many young people to the beaches and bars.And when it comes to clothes—or no clothes—groups of females can be seen at the water’s edge (pool or beaches) chit-chatting with nothing on top!With your friends?Huh?
Oh, well, enough for now!Thanks for your involvement of all kinds!
Happy summer wherever we live—I’ll be in Spanish school!
