Last Wednesday, Juli and I had the opportunity to sit down with Steve Metzger, missionary to Spain, for a cup of coffee. As Juli and I have a growing interest in Spain, it was a great time to be able to learn and hear more about missions in this dark country.
I thank the Lord for men as Steve Metzger, who through many difficult situations and trials in a land where the gospel goes unspoken, has held the banner for Christ. His obvious zeal for ministry and his heart for missions remain unparalleled. His humility in talking of the service in which he has laid his life into was a lesson that I needed to hear.
I pray that the Lord continues to use Steve and his family in this place where there is no recognition, where there are no large ministries, where one does not see massive conversions, but in a place where the name of Christ is being proclaimed faithfully.
