Preparing for the Harvest
Donald & Carol Paige and their two children are serving the Lord in Madrid, Spain. Carol is the coordinator of curriculum and instruction at LIFE International School in Madrid. This is one of the only 3 Christian schools in the country. There are now 75 students enrolled for the 2022-2023 school year. They are adding both 8th and 9th grades in the Fall. Larger enrollment means a need for more space. The school rented another floor of the building and renovations are being done during the summer. Also Carol is working with the administrative team in planning for the next school year.
Spain is a country that is less than 1% Christian, however, forming relationships and sharing the gospel has been a slow process. On Saturday, their church had its first Evangelism Workshop, and afterward, they headed downtown to share the Gospel message in Plaza Cervantes. They shared through music, brief messages, and talking with those around them. Many were not interested, but just as many were open to conversations and prayer. It is a blessing to see young and old sharing Jesus without fear and extending a message of relationship over religion to the community. It was a special joy for Donald and Carol to share this experience with their children, Cora and Daniel.
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9</p>
