Dear partners,
I thought you would enjoy and celebrate with us on this news. Athletes in Action Spain is witnessing a blast in the Canary Islands with the leadership of vounteers like Matias Ojeda and Matt Sell and their families. They are serious amateur runners (Matias an endurance champion, and Matt a race walker), and have launched an Athletics Club under the name of Athletes in Action.
Last May we had an internation project with Tim Ellis and other staff and runners, and a couple weeks ago, Matt helped put together a Marathon/Half Marathon/10K team, who not only won the III Gran Canaria Maraton (4,000 participants), but left an outstanding testimony and impact on runners, organizers, media...
Daniel K. Wiljinson, a counselor at Liberty University, and our champion, is considering ministry with Matt's mission in the Islands. Pray for the follow up and through of God's fingerprint in the Canary Islands. Pray for Matt & Mateo, their families and their ongoing opportunities and wise direction setting. Pray for the pland and dremas to see this bless all throughout Europe.
