Every month in 2021 we will be praying for a people group somewhere in the world, but we will also be praying for our own BBC global workers who live and work among that people group! This will be an incredible way for us to support our global workers and for you to get to know who they are.

October: Jason and Jennifer
Western Europe
Since 2013, Jennifer and Jason have served as IMB church planters in Spain. Their calling is to see the gospel shared among the lost and for those new believers to join healthy churches and become disciples that make disciples. Jason and Jennifer partner directly with local believers with the singular goal of seeing Spain reached for Christ.
Spain has had an amazing transformation since 1978. It abandoned a dictatorship for democratic rule, moved from poverty towards wealth, integrated into Europe, and increased religious freedom. But economic progress also brought greed for possessions and self-indulgent lifestyles. Access to abortion has led to Spain having one of the lowest birth rates in the world. These problems combine with depression, debt, substance abuse, and a general erosion of moral foundations to plant the seeds of future problems for society. Spain has historically been predominantly Catholic, but today less than 17% of Spanish people attend mass. Pray for God to breathe new life into the Church in Spain by raising up believers with a passion to tell people about the gospel.

Brutal facts about the Gospel in Europe

How You Can Pray for the Stringers: 
Pray that the Holy Spirit would give clarity in the task of reaching the lost. That through that Spirit-filled power that many would come to know, to love and to follow Christ.
Pray for the IMB team, local partners, and the local churches. That love and unity would draw others to want to know and commit to Christ.
Pray that the church plant would be bold in sharing Christ, united in mission, and overflowing with love.
