Two major recent conferences in western Europe have sought to encourage evan-gelicals to preach the word of God and to live out their faith.
The first national ‘Taller de Predicación’ (Preaching Workshop) conference took place at El Escorial, Madrid. Over 140 preachers from many different Spanish evangelical denominations challenged each other to preach from the word of God to a sceptical culture. This is one of the key goals of the evangelical movement that has flourished across many Spanish regions during the last decade.
And at Clermont-Ferrand in France, over 1,700 Christian women gathered for the ‘Entr’Elles’ (Between Women) conference, supported by over 25 Christian organisations. The theme ‘Existe’ (Exist) was based on Psalm 33:9 – ‘For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm’.
