I am so excited and my heart is overflowing today! The last year that we were in Spain we had been working with several people trying to show them the truth of One God, Baptism in Jesus Name and the necessity of the infilling of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. We had quite a large group of people, as I've already posted, coming to our services and bible studies. Each and every service these things were taught and preached! Right before we left to come back to the USA there were a few people that told us that they were "almost persuaded". So, when we left we were hoping and praying that these people would soon see the truth!
Last night my husband called Bro. Luis, the new pastor, to see how things have been going. We received GLORIOUS news!!!!!
Karin is an immigrant from Peru. She had been having a bible study with sister Mari, one of our saints, before we returned to Spain last year. When we arrived back in Vigo and started having services again she attended faithfully and my husband and I started teaching her a bible study in our home. Karin is one of the most hungry young ladies I have ever met. But, she was steeped in Charasmatic Trinitarianism. She loved to listen to the likes of Benny Hinn. When my husband let her know what he thought about these kinds of men, and Benny Hinn in particular, we were afraid that we were going to lose her. But she was there the next service, worshipping God with all her heart. So, we were ecstatic to find that 3 weeks after we left Spain, Karin received the gift of the Holy Ghost and is being baptised in Jesus Name today! Thank You Jesus!!!!
Lenny, Tanya and their son Wesley are an immigrant family from Nicaragua. They, like Karin, were stuck on Charasmatic Trinitarianism. But we worked with them and taught and prayed and loved them. They too have all three received the Holy Ghost and are being baptised in Jesus Name today!!!!! Thank you Jesus!!!!!
Estela is from Peru and had been attending our services since our very first service in our livingroom in Vigo. After our last service before returning to the USA she hugged Meghan and I and we all just cried and cried together. But, we are thrilled that she too has received the gift of the Holy Ghost and is being baptised in Jesus Name today!!!! Thank you Jesus!!!!
Claudia is a young Colombian girl that came to Spain to live with her mother. She arrived in Vigo at the same time that we went there to start the church. She had attended a UPC Foreign Missions church in Colombia but had never received the Holy Ghost or been baptised. She, too, has received the Holy Ghost and is being baptised in Jesus Name today.
Brother Luis told my husband last night, "Thank you, Brother Wiggins, for coming to Spain and planting this church! Wonderful things are happening here because of your sacrifice". My heart is full and my tears falling as I type this! I am so thankful to God for the opportunity to do something for him. And, I am so thrilled that these people that we grew to love so much are now saved!!! Someday we will rejoice around the throne of God together! I can't wait for that day!!!!!
