4/14 Window Congress - Spain
September 6 and 7 were exciting days in Madrid, Spain. AGWM Personnel, Steve and Tece Entsminger were part of a planning committee for a 4/14 Window Congress for the Spain Assemblies of God. The 4/14 Window missions strategy promotes the window of opportunity for children between the ages of 4 and 14 to hear and respond to the Gospel. It is a proven fact that the majority of people who have responded to the message of salvation have done so as children younger than 15. Due to this 10 year time span of great openness to the Gospel, this should be a strategy that the Church focuses on in efforts to go and make disciples of every creature in all nations.

A team from Promise Church in New York, leaders locally and internationally in the 4/14 Window movement, came to challenge and equip Spain Assemblies of God church leaders and workers. Nearly 200 people from at least 26 different churches from throughout Spain attended. Many expressed their excitement and commitment to reaching the children of Spain. It was an historical event for children's ministry.
At this congress, churches formed into groups to talk about how they would reach the children of their community. Many ideas were shared with great passion. Pastor Ben Hur from Promise Church, NY challenged the participants to be multigenerational in their discipleship.
The representation from so many churches and from so many areas of Spain was impressive. Many pastors were present with interest in the 4/14 Window strategy. The Entsmingers are convinced that “God has called us to Spain for such a time as this.”
