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 [...]

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 [...]
From Barcelona to sunny Sevilla.

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 [...]
Roman ruins in Barcelona

There is an ancient Roman sepulchral road just a couple of blocks from my hotel. A nearby plaque states that this road led directly to the north gate of the ancient Roman city of Barcino that existed here. The city name is said to come from Barca, the family of Hannibal, Hamilcar, Hasdrubal, etc. Hannibal [...]

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 [...]
We are in Barcelona.

We arrived at our hotel in Barcelona about 6:45 p.m. local time after a (happily) uneventful 20-hour trip. We’re 6 hours ahead of Tampa, so our body clocks will be undergoing some adjustments for a couple of days.
Our time with Christians here begins tomorrow evening and will continue every evening through the end of next [...]
Meetings in Barcelona – Update

Our visits with the church are going well. We meet each night for Bible study and stay around to visit, talk and know one another. On a busy weeknight it takes about 45 - 50 minutes for us to get to the meeting place. Half of that time is spent on the Metro system.
It was [...]
