Nashville,
TN, August 22, 2008
Dear Friends and
Family:
Thirty-three years ago tomorrow was a very significant time
in our lives. It was when we “tied the
knot”...”got hitched”...”said our I
do’s”...”became man and
wife”...”got married.” It was the day we
began our exciting life together, and after 21 years as
youth pastor at our home church (Cofer’s Chapel FWB
Church in Nashville, TN), it eventually took us to Spain 11
years ago. What a privilege it is to work for the Lord
where we are now. “The harvest is great...”
The construction on the new Villalba church is coming along
great. The basement, main floor, and 2nd floor are all
going up, and it’s exciting to see pictures of the
progress that is being made. The latest photos show that
the brick walls are being put in. Attached is one of the
pictures of that (see below), but you can see more photos
on our website: www.fwbgo.com/spain.
We are traveling almost constantly these days. We have had
good services in August and are anticipating the same in
September. We have been able to see several of you already,
and we are glad some of you have “popped in” to
some of our services. Our schedule from now through
September is listed below, so if you are in the area where
we will be, we’d love to see you!

On a personal note, our children are doing very well.
Stephanie continues to enjoy her job and we are enjoying
living with her when we are in town. She will be directing
the children’s Christmas program at church again this
year, so she is already working on that. The expectant
parents, Suzanne and Jonathan, are doing much better.
Suzanne had been so sick for awhile, but now that she is
near the end of the first trimester, she is feeling so much
better with little bouts of sickness. We are very thankful
for that. We have pictures of the “little one”
from the latest ultrasound, so that is exciting. Thank you
for your prayers for our children.
Our account continues to be deeply in the red ($30,000 at
the end of July). We are praying that it will turn around
quickly so that our funds will be sufficient for our return
in March, 2009. If you can help with a special gift during
this time, we would appreciate it so much. We are doing
what we can to share the work with God’s people, but
we depend upon your support to be able to do what God has
called us to do. Thank you for your prayers for this
important matter.
As always, we are so appreciative of each one of you. We
could not be doing what we do without you.
Your missionaries to Spain,
Sam and June McVay
