​This week we are praying for James, Carolyn, Toby & Gabriel Webb
who work with ECM where they are planting a new church in Zalla, Basque Region, Spain.

1. We praise God for some new people who’ve started coming to church in Zalla. Pray for Miriam and her grandson, as well as for Mauricio and Tatiana and their  2 young kids, as well as Tatiana’s mother, Ruby. They come from Venezuela and Colombia and have only recently been drawn into church and seeking to know Jesus personally. Pray they would all come to repentance and faith. 
2. As we launch the Camino Guesthouse Project, pray that the Lord would provide the right building and that people would be led to give financially towards this project. Praise God for those who have already shown interest and support. 
3. Give thanks for Lauren, a short-termer from Australia, who will be arriving on the 1st of February and staying until November. Pray for her as she adapts to life in the Basque Country, learns Spanish and develops relationships with the church family in Zalla and with others in the community. She will be teaching English part-time to young people in a local language academy. 
4. Please keep praying for good connections with non-church families through the church rugby training in Bilbao and pray that we might be able to set up our own club in Zalla this year. It’s a great way to get to know youth and reach out to them. 
5. Pray for our teammates, the Aldanas, about to return from home assignment in Guatemala; for them to feel refreshed and excited about starting their 3rd term in Spain. 
6. Please lift up our boys, Toby & Gabriel, in prayer; that Jesús would increasingly shine through their lives so that their friends can see the difference knowing Jesús makes. 
7. Pray for us and our own relationship with God to be enriched as we participate in the Deepen spiritual formation course throughout the year.

Thanks for praying for us! 
James & Carolynn
