I just finished my first full day attending the annual Florida College Lectureship in Temple Terrace, Florida, about 1-1/2 miles from my house.
One lecture I attended was an enjoyable presentation on “Evangelism in South America” by Gardner Hall, who works with Spanish-speaking churches in New York City and New Jersey. Gardner showed photos of Christians [...]

We arrived in Tampa last night and made it to our homes. I would have posted last night, but my wife and kids (for some reason) took pretty much all of my time.
It was a very good trip by several measures. The Christians all seemed to be encouraged by our visits. The Spanish brethren described [...]

We finished up our last evening with the church in Dos Hermanas and got back to the hotel a little while ago. I presented a another archaeological lesson while my father taught on the question, “Why doesn’t God use people to do big things today as He did in the Bible?” (Part of the answer: [...]

We continue to meet every night with the church in the city of Dos Hermanas, a suburb of Sevilla. The weekly meetings are one hour long, so my father and I alternate the preaching. I will be speaking tonight (Thursday), but both of us will speak Friday evening since the weekend permits a longer service.
My [...]
Sunday report from Sevilla, Spain

We spoke for two churches in/around Sevilla today, for a total of 4 hours’ assembly. I was with both congregations two years ago, and it was good to renew friendships. Unfortunately, none of the churches in Spain has a full-time evangelist with which to work. The men in each congregation divide the responsibilities as they [...]

We just arrived in the city of Sevilla, which is often rendered “Seville” in English. Sevilla is in SW Spain, near the border with Portugal. We will be spending time with two churches here over the next week.
Our final assembly in Barcelona was yesterday evening. We spent a good bit of time taking pictures and [...]

We continue to meet with the church in the Badalona district every night. The rotation we have used had my father speaking tonight (Friday) but the brethren surprised us by extending the time so both he and I could present lessons. I am using my final two lessons to discuss Biblical Archaeology – a frequent subject of this [...]

We met with the Badalona congregation for two hours on Saturday evening, and another two hours on Sunday morning (today). My father Royce and I presented lessons on both occasions.
Following Saturday evening’s meeting, we went out with about 15 of the brethren to get a bite and visit. The church is small – around 25 [...]
