NEW MOSLEM MOSQUE IN VILANOVA


Excuse for writing in your blog in English. I have not ordered it to correct with the intention of which it (he,she) sounds to Eugenio. I know that I do not write in English very well but hope that you could understand what I say.

Some of you will be wondering what is this photo? I am going to explain it to you: It is the new Moslem Mosque that they have inaugurated in Vilanova this last Friday, while they expect to end their new building for the one that ALREADY there have all the funds that they need.

A few months ago were the Jehovah's Witnesses, which opened the new temple, helped by many people of Spain and of out of Spain.

Personally, I do not have any fear of the Muslims. Maybe is because in Spain we live eight hundred years conquered by them and it was one of the most resplendent epochs of our country. I do not live obsessed with the idea of that they have a strategy to damage to us, but is true that advance, and they advance very rapidly in their task of conquering people for the Islam here in Vilanova.

While they advance, we continue doing a great effort to be able to advance with our project of Church.

Today we have had a good service. Already there were no empty chairs in our place in Sitges, but still I see very far in the way the moment in which we could make as The Jehovah's Witnesses or the Muslims, open our new Temple where we want to proclaim Jesus Christ as our only and sufficient Savior.

In all that, there is a serious worry that puts a note of urgently in our agenda.

After this inauguration of the Mosque, and according to our local Newspaper, the authorities of the Government of our region are going to check the permissions granted for the transfer of lands for religious buildings and places of worship.

In our property it does already, almost one year, that we cannot make anything important with the building for lack of funds. This situation YES that worries me a little bit.

We will be grateful that you pray for us. We know that when we are in the new building in Vilanova we will grow, because we see that we are doing in our small place in Sitges. We have proposed to ask to God to be in Vilanova at the end of this year.

Pray with us for this mater. Really we believe that we cannot be slow any more without traversing the risk of losing so much as we investing in this place.

Thank you for our partnership in prayer.

We love you very much.

Eugenio and our friends in Sitges/ Vilanova:

Yes, this is a big deal, and I will be praying hard for you to raise the money you need to for the new building! Please keep posting updates about it, and we will keep praying.

Remember too that the Lord is your provider and He WILL provide you with the money and resources on his time, so hang in there. (:

Lots of love,
Carolyn
