<br />
This year 21 neighborhood kids participated in our Easter outreach. Thirteen of them were from non church related families and for this we were praising God. Actually, it was a huge encouragement to see some of the girls who have been coming to The Zone come to the egg hunt also. God gave us a beautiful morning to play games, hunt eggs, dye eggs and present the resurrection story. Pray with us that the contacts we have made with the children in the neighborhood will yield eternal dividends! <br />
Furlough Preparations…..<br />
As we all know, and as the saying goes, time flies when you are having fun. It is hard to believe that we were last in the US in 2008 and almost four years have gone by. Actually, it seems like they have literally blown by. We are currently in the throes of getting ready to head back to North Carolina for a six month furlough. We leave Spain on the 19th of June. Until that time, life and ministry continue to move forward. Please pray with us that God will grant spiritual, physical, and emotional strength during the next three very busy weeks. <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Gospel Concert….</i></div>
It may sound a bit strange to mention a Gospel concert, but actually, here in Spain, it is viewed as a cultural event. Given that, our church will be hosting a Gospel concert on the 15th of June. Please pray with us that many unsaved will come to enjoy this cultural activity and will leave having their hearts and lives transformed by the music, testimonies and devotional that will be shared. <br />
Visiting your church….<br />
We have already begun to schedule meetings. Our goal is to visit as many churches as possible, placing emphasis on those that we did not get to in 2008. In addition to reporting to our supporting churches, we need to raise about $1,600 per month in support. Please pray with us that God will supply this need! In fact, would you be willing to pray and ask God if He could use you to help meet this need? You would be surprised what just $10, $20, or more a month, when multiplied by 20, 30, or 40 families can do. Your journey of faithful giving can make an eternal difference! If God should so lead in your heart to join our support team you can do so by visiting www.abwe.org/give. On the left hand side of the page click on “commit to support a missionary or project”.<br />

<br />
God provided a house for our upcoming furlough in June!

</div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Dear prayer and financial partners,</span><div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"> We want to begin this update by letting you know just how much we appreciate you and the vital role you play in the ministry that God has called us to here in Spain. Thank you for the time you spend in prayer and for your sacrificial giving! Thanks for your eternal investment in the lives of Spaniards.</div><div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"> Since our prayer letter in December, things have been moving right along. The church in Coslada just had it´s annual meeting. It is a great moment in the life of the church to reflect back upon the previous year and talk about the direction that we feel God is leading us in for the upcoming one. Over the past year, the church has been involved in so many different activities - men´s and ladies Bible studies, AWANA, evangelistic Bible studies, The Zone (a youth activity), family camp, special outreach activities, kid´s club (VBS), and so much more. It is a tremendous encouragement and blessing to work along side of the Spanish believers in the church and see their passion and dedication to the Lord. </div><div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"> One of the items on the agenda for our annual meeting was our furlough. In June, we will be taking a 6 month furlough. Please be in prayer with us that God would provide <u>housing and the use of a reliable vehicle</u>. If you might be able to help us in any one of these areas or know of someone who might, please let us know. Also, we will soon be contacting supporting churches in order to schedule a time to report on the ministry in Spain. However, we will also need to raise more monthly support. We are currently only at 82% of our needed support. Thanks in advance for taking these matters before the throne! </div><div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><br />

Levi´s classmate Sam started a group called One Town at a Time, a group of ECA students with a burden to reach unreached towns in Spain and, even though our church is established, we asked if our desire to start a youth center would fit into their ministry ideas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It being a nice fit, we picked up 2 carloads of middle schoolers, most of them from the group OTaaT who meet weekly to pray, and a seminary student.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got to the church, fed them a snack, and they went out in groups of 4 or so and handed out flyers, the same<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>ones we had posted all over the neighborhood earlier in the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were astonished when a few minutes later, the kids came in droves!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At one point<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">, not</i> counting the kids from ECA who came to minister, there were at least 20 kids in our church from the neighborhood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We couldn´t believe it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Too many to even get all their names.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of the kids were frustrated with their friends when they couldn´t get their friends to leave!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Twister was a hit, the Wii was constant and the ping pong was intense.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They devoured the brownies the other mom had made and so Tammy promised them brownies in two weeks when we opened again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we were closing at 7pm the boys on ping pong were begging Glenn not to make them stop playing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Adrián, Adrián, José, </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">José, Eva, Andrea, Nicoleta, Pedro, Fabi, Luis, Dominique… <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Of course, it was the loudest and dirtiest we´ve ever seen our church, but it was worth it!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was good for Levi to be involved in something like that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His experience:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>they were trying to invite a group and when they heard "church" they walked away but Levi said "Wii, food and ping pong!" and they came back to get the flyer!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They didn´t come that night, but you get the idea what it´s like to try to get teens into our church building. The idea is to break down barriers and eventually get to know them enough to have an influence in their lives. Last week we had about 15 kids come to hang out and break in the new foosball table.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We open every other Friday night. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who knows when we´ll be able to have devotional talks with them or any of them would attend church...it could be years, but maybe it will be this Christmas to see our program on Dec. 23.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of our church members is also coming to help.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can imagine the prayer support from all of them since many of them grew up going to youth centers opened by other missionaries.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><br />

What a joy is has been to see them develop over the past few years! Besides praying for them, hugging them, and teaching them about Jesus, one of the more practical things we have tried to teach them is how to sit still and quiet in church. With that huge task in mind, I bought them notebooks and pens and now every Sunday, they get out their notebooks and draw, usually quietly. Spongebob has his portrait on several pages and Patrick is also well represented. As one would expect at this age, the boys are starting to write letters and even copy phrases they see around them. Today as we were singing one little guy brought me his notebook and asked me what it said. "TU AMOR POR MI". "Your love for me", refering to God´s love. I was overcome with joy to be able to tell this little fellow how much God loves us. I prayed that the message of the song and his little note-taking would sink into his heart, and the hearts of the other 2 children there without their parents, coming from homes where God´s love isn´t a prominent message. Well, I found myself so overcome, that then, I wasn´t quite able to sing the song myself! In a flash I was going over the process in my life that led to that tiny interaction between me and little sweetboy. A calling to missions, God's leading to Spain, so many financial supporters who have made it possible over the years, language school (thanks for praying me through that one!), a dozen sh´s, a hundred fingers to the lips, and countless hugs later, we arrive at this special moment. "What does this say?" That He loves us so much. It's more than a phrase to copy from the powerpoint. It´s the phrase that helps us love little ones with dirty fingers, that motivates us to get out of bed in the morning, that helps us love those who mistreat us, and makes us want to do it all over again and again. TU AMOR POR MI. His love for me. immense!Clodgo Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15765481009839932384noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581101088471462300.post-22895746219561535652011-09-22T02:04:00.001-07:002011-09-22T02:04:50.126-07:00Car Repairs<div align="center"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"></span> </div><br />

<div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"></span></div><br />
<div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"> I want to thank all of you who have been praying for the financial needs that we mentioned in our last prayer letter and to ask you to<u> keep praying</u>. We went by the garage to pick up our car only to find out that is in need of more repairs that are going to cost about $300 more. (If it wasn´t for the fact that the mechanic is a fellow believer, I would have some serious doubts that maybe we were being taken. He is actually doing everything he can to help us save money on the repairs.) That means that our intial estimate of $1,300 is now at $1,600. If God should so lead you to help out with this need, you can give online at <a href="mhtml:{F83D7638-D538-4D45-A9A2-8900266BF301}mid://00000103/!x-usc:http://www.abwe.org/">www.abwe.org</a> or send a check to ABWE. PO Box 8585, Harrisburg, PA, 17105-8585. Our account number with ABWE is #13121. Thanks again for bringing this urgent need before the Lord! </span></div><br />

It was the best camp ever!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">We just keep repeating those words over and over to each other! At the camp, overall, there were about 100 campers. (20 children and more than 20 teens make up part of that number). <em><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">In our class of 11-16 year olds there were about 20</span></em>. A large number come from churched families. About 4 boys from 14-16 years of age came without belonging to any of the churches. Some of these fellows travelled over 8 hours to get to camp. (Can you believe it?) One of our greatest joys in ministry is answering questions like "Where´s Mark?" "Where´s Luke?". In our little church in Coslada, just about any one of our children is capable of finding books in the Bible thanks to the amazing team of children´s teachers we have. So you can imagine how fun it was to help some of those teens look up Bible passages. They read verses willingly. They enjoyed filling in their outlines each day. HERE´S THE BIG NEWS: On the last day of camp, Tammy saw one of the 12 year olds <em><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">reading his Bible</span></em> during free time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She had a chance to ask one of the 16 year olds about his camp experience and he excitedly explained to her his plans to <em><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">"keep on with the Bible and go to</span></em> <em><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">church</span></em>". Does that excite you? It does us. We just got a big charge out of explaining how Heaven and Hell are constantly at war for each of their souls and the </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">power of Jesus against all things we fear and all things that can have power over us. (Mark 4 and 5, Luke 12 were some of our passages.) We presented them with <em><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">the gospel each day</span></em> and challenged them to draw close to Jesus in all of life´s situations. We feel strongly that God started working in some of their lives long before camp and we are praying for His continued work in each of their lives. One way He worked was enabling us to take 2 girls from Coslada with us for whom many of you provided a camp scholarship. They had a great time, made a lot of friends and were presented with some great Bible truths and their life applications. We wish we could tell you some of the details of their lives...a situation that causes us to wonder what God would <em><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">really</span></em> like to do if He were just invited in. Thank you for giving and for praying for them.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><br />

At the camp, overall, there were about 100 campers. (20 children and more than 20 teens make up part of that number). <em>In our class of 11-16 year olds there were about 20</em>. A large number come from churched families. About 4 boys from 14-16 years of age came without belonging to any of the churches. Some of these fellows travelled over 8 hours to get to camp. (Can you believe it?) One of our greatest joys in ministry is answering questions like "Where´s Mark?" "Where´s Luke?". In our little church in Coslada, just about any one of our children is capable of finding books in the Bible thanks to the amazing team of children´s teachers we have. So you can imagine how fun it was to help some of those teens look up Bible passages. They read verses willingly. They enjoyed filling in their outlines each day. HERE´S THE BIG NEWS: On the last day of camp, I (Tammy) saw one of the 12 year olds <em>reading his Bible</em> during free time. I (Tammy) had a chance to ask one of the 16 year olds about his camp experience and he excitedly explained to me his plans to <em>"keep on with the Bible and go to</em> <em>church</em>". Does that excite you? It does us. We just got a big charge out of explaining how Heaven and Hell are constantly at war for each of their souls and the power of Jesus against all things we fear and all things that can have power over us. (Mark 4 and 5, Luke 12 were some of our passages.) We presented them with <em>the gospel each day</em> and challenged them draw close to Jesus in all of life´s situations. We feel strongly that God started working in some of their lives long before camp and we are praying for His continued work in each of their lives. One way He worked was enabling us to take 2 girls from Coslada with us for whom many of you provided a camp scholarship. They had a great time, made a lot of friends and were presented with some great Bible truths and their life applications. We wish we could tell you some of the details of their lives...a situation that causes us to wonder what God would <em>really</em> like to do if He were just invited in. Thank you for giving and for praying for them.</span></div><br />
<div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"> Now that camp is over we are not slowing down...this week we have a barbecue and meeting at our house to plan for our <strong>September</strong> Bible Club for children. This is always a highlight of the year. From the Bible Club, we will be inviting the children to our biweekly AWANA Club and announcing biweekly Youth Activities. And so starts the school year!</span></div><br />
<div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"> In <strong>October, </strong>we will get back to having the weekly Ladies´ Bible Study. For a couple years, Tammy have been leaning toward doing the Beth Moore study on Esther. Esther is a common name for ladies here in Spain and there is a bit of basic knowledge of the story so we think it would be a welcomed study even among the unsaved ladies who attend. The workbooks are availble here in Spanish. What we would love to do is be able to get a copy of the DVD set of Beth Moore herself teaching so that Tammy could use that in her preparation time. We know often a church uses teaching material and then places it in the missions closet for missionaries to then use. Could this be the case with your church? Would you contact Tammy if you know of a set someone no longer plans to use? </span></div><br />
<div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"> We appreciate your prayers immensely and can see God´s hand moving. He definitly keeps motivating us, along with the entire Coslada church, to love Him more and serve Him wholeheartedly! We wish you could meet the dear brothers and sister we lock arms with here and that they could meet you- the prayer warriors who keep holding up our arms.</span></div>Clodgo Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15765481009839932384noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581101088471462300.post-32968998255100995042011-07-22T11:03:00.001-07:002011-07-22T11:03:37.869-07:00BIG NEWS!<div> <div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Just a quick update - God has provided the funds needed to send both girls to camp!!!

<div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"> With family camp just a week and half away, I wanted to let you all know what God is doing in regards to the funds needed to send two girls from our church to family camp and to ask you all to keep praying! As of today, God has supplied enough for one of the two sisters to attend camp. We only lack $180 dollars in order to be able to send the other sister to camp. Please continue to bring this matter before the Lord. And, if He should so lead in your heart, ask Him what part you might have in helping this girl make it to camp. Tammy and I will be working with the younger teenagers and we covet your prayers. The theme of the Bible studies will center around the idea of fear. Pray with us that God will work in the heart of each camper!</span></div><br />
<div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Thanks for your faithful prayer and financial support that enables us to share Christ and His saving message here in Spain!</span></div><br />
<div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Funds can be sent to ABWE, account #13121. Please note that the gift is for "family camp". </span></div><br />

We all know the importance of a spiritually based camp experience in the life of a child or teen and many of us can recall important spiritual decisions that were made at camp. How many pastors, missionaries, youth pastors, etc. received their call to ministry during summer camp? OR, how many children or teens have come to Christ as a result of having spent a week at camp? It is for this very reason that I am writing you all. We need you all to be praying with us that God would supply the funds necessary for two girls in our church in Coslada to attend family camp. They are sisters and come from a single parent home. Their mother is only working on the weekends and does not make enough to send them. She is, however, paying what she can. So, would you please pray with us that God would supply the funds needed so that these two girls could attend camp? And, if He so leads in your heart, would you consider giving? The total amount needed is $300. Thanks so much! It is going to be exciting to see what God does in family camp this year! </span></div><div> </div><div>Please send gifts to ABWE, account #13121, Specify: Family Camp</div><div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"></span></div></div></span><div></div>Clodgo Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15765481009839932384noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581101088471462300.post-43788125866281697752011-06-30T11:36:00.000-07:002011-06-30T11:36:50.530-07:00June 2011<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0LP_3jUM6nKuKT4Z7VXrtDRNV3hv6Ejd5EIaKi5_B6EaNu_D1wR3cxWH2ixCOiXBQ-g9bJcYcr6uGEqYh5mWGLTC4vLNYqTrCaDbAcEfSaMlHNw1ZCcJ_ppn-ZYLirC02IRhyIlMd7WUw/s1600/IEMO.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0LP_3jUM6nKuKT4Z7VXrtDRNV3hv6Ejd5EIaKi5_B6EaNu_D1wR3cxWH2ixCOiXBQ-g9bJcYcr6uGEqYh5mWGLTC4vLNYqTrCaDbAcEfSaMlHNw1ZCcJ_ppn-ZYLirC02IRhyIlMd7WUw/s320/IEMO.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
