Jacob Bock, AGWM missionary/evangelist in Spain, tells of the greatly increased desire to evangelize those without Christ by many believers in Spain.  This is clearly illustrated by the following story that he relates:

"The first Saturday of March we had our monthly school of evangelism for our ministry at Kilometer Zero which is the center of Madrid, and indeed, the center of Spain.  (www.kilometrocero.net)  Our ministry center can hold about 40 people comfortably. 

Four days before the day, a church called from southern Spain telling me they had chartered a bus and 53 were coming to the school.  I paused a moment waiting for them to tell me it was a joke.  It was not!  Then I got a call from a group of churches from western Spain and they were bringing two car loads up for the school.  Nine more!  Then 25 people from various Madrid churches informed us that they were coming.  One does NOT turn away anyone from coming to a school of evangelism so we stuffed 88 people into the center and taught them how to win souls!  They learned how to do one-on-one evangelism, how to give a two-minute testimony and were encouraged in their devotional life. 

What a hunger there is in the church in Spain to evangelize.  God is calling workers, raising them up, preparing and equipping them.  That must mean there is a harvest on the way of souls turning to the Lord."

(Km0 ministry is located in Madrid, Spain and is directed by AG missionary Jacob Bock.  They preach 5 nights a week on the main square and have more than 100 people from various denominations participating.  Every night there is preaching, singing, testimonies, personal evangelism and coffee house ministry.  Contacts are directed to more than 20 churches that participate with Km0.   Teaching materials on evangelism are available in both English and Spanish.)
