The pastors of the church in Barakaldo, Spain, David and Gemma, as well as the whole church congregation are very brave evangelists. They go out on the street every week and preach the Word and witness. But recently, when a team from San Jose, California came to join in evangelism, they were blown away. They had not seen people in their town, who evidently react strongly against the Gospel, stay to listen when the name of Jesus or even the word, "God" is spoken. When the preaching began, the people stayed and listened attentively. A miracle was in the making. People raised their hands in the street for salvation. Again, with only one or two exceptions, every time an altar call was given, right in the street, people raised their hands and waved them to signal that they would give their lives to God. Gemma compiled a list of about 50 of their names and just under half of those people gave her their cell phone numbers. Another miracle.
About 11 new people showed up for church the following Sunday. To actually enter an evangelical church is a huge step for them. A miracle! When the altar call was given, 8 of the 11 people that were in the church for the first time, stood up in front of everyone to give their lives to Jesus. Obviously, they had come to the service with that intention and this was after a day or more of thinking about it. They got up Sunday morning, decided to find the church and attend the service and it seemed they had already decided to give their lives to Christ. A miracle. The presence of God, His Holy Spirit giving people faith and courage, the conviction of sin…all were a miracle.
