Subject: RADIO AMISTAD & OTHERS...

Dear Mishpachah (family):

I'd like to share something with you for prayer:

In Spain we have only one "national" Christian radio station which 
transmits for 17 main cities (there are 52 capitals of provinces in 
Spain). About two weeks ago the Government has decreed that it 
should be closed. It's name is "Radio Amistad". It has been 
transmitting for 11 years. It is not legal or illegal. In Spain, the 
law reads that if you find a free dial, you can start
transmitting and then you ask the permission. Well, Radio Amistad 
has done so.

While the Government has given permit to other Catholic radios, it has
"forgoten" or delayed Radio Amistad's repeated petitions. Now, saying 
that it has no permition to transmit, they want to close it, although 
the Supreme Court has said before that alleging it is not right (they 
have tried before).

But also there is a Christian TV station, called "Tu Pueblo 
Television" (Your People TV) which transmits to Madrid only. One week 
ago they have also received an order to be closed. (Tu Pueblo TV is 
also suffering an attack from a major TV Station - which belongs to 
the Government - and we cannot watch it because
of a signal this national station is emiting to interfere in Tu Pueblo TV
transmissions).

Many Catholics are coming to the knowledge of the Lord, especially 
through Radio Amistad.

Let me get you to the bottom of the problem with these two means of
communications: few years ago I was praying to the Lord so that He 
would share with me some subjects that hurt His heart. One of the 
things He showed me was the big crime commited by Sefarad 
(Spain + Portugal) against His beloved chosen
people: Israel. It is known as the "Spanish Inquisition".

It is too much to share here but I believe this is key for the revival in
Spain. In essence, when Spain killed Jews (by burning them alive in 
Jesus name) they did two main things:

1. They refused Israel's God that was brought by His people through 
     the Word and, in its place, they chose to serve the idols 
     offered by Rome.

2. They robbed, killed and destroyed God's beloved and chosen people, 
     touching the apple of His eyes.

The result is that this is a tremendously dry land where the 
knowledge of the Lord is almost none.

There is much more to share about this. But for the moment I don't 
want to fill you with a lot.

The thing is that this action taken by the Government of Spain 
against Radio Amistad and Tu Pueblo TV has all the characteristics of 
the Inquisition.  I have studied the subject and, believe me, we can 
see that the same spirit is still acting.

I'd like to ask you the following:

Please pray for:

1. Freedom to spread the Word of God in this land.

2. Wisdom and fire inside pastors and leaders to go out of churches 
    and reach the Gospel to the lost instead of staying in their 
    churches praying and feeding "fat sheeps", which is easier.

3. There is a project called "The Shalom Project" that has to do with
     repentance of Sefarad  for this terrible sin (The Spanish 
     Inquisition). Please pray so that the Lord gives us wisdom and 
    guidance to go ahead with it. Especially we need to know His time 
     to give each step.

4. That the Government gives Radio Amistad and Tu Pueblo TV the 
     licence to operate free of problems.

5. Finantial resources for these two communication ministries, so 
    that they can go ahead (they are registered as cultural 
    associations, and therefore they cannot sell commercial espaces. 
    If they would register as commercial chains,
    they would not be able to compete with the big private and governamental
    stations).

There is another thing that can be done regarding this problem: you 
can contact as many people as you are able to contact, and share this 
problem with them, asking them to send faxes - AS SOON AS POSSIBLE - 
to the Spanish Government, asking them to keep these chains open. The 
numbers are below:

- Juan Carlos de Borb=F3n, King of Spain: 34-1-599.2525
- Jos=E9 Mar=EDa Aznar, President of Spain: 34-1-390.0217 or 
   34-1-390.0751
- Rafael Arias Salgado, Ministro de Fomento: 34-1-797.8500 or 
  34-1-597.8567
(this man is the one that signed the decree. He's the Minister in 
 charge of giving RA & TP-TV the licence to legally operate)
- Jordi Pujol, Presidente de la Comunidad de Catalu=F1a: 
34-3-318.3488 (Although this man is the president of a region of 
Spain, he's the leader of the party that has a coalition with the 
Government and without them, the Central Government does not have 
power enough to rule the Nation).

Let me also tell you that, although it's not official, all these men are
supposed to belong to the "Opus Dei". This organization is a strong 
arm of the Catholic church and they are always behind all actions 
against any faith which is not the Catholic.

Also the "Opus Dei" is behind all the finantial and economical system 
in  Spain. The key companies like energy, communications and key 
industry also belong to these banks.

Please join us in this spiritual war against the inquisition spirit 
in Spain. Also share with as much people as you can the situation of 
the Radio and  TV Stations, so that they cooperate sending faxes to 
the Government, so that they can see that we are one and not a small 
group. "that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me 
and I am in you. May they also be in us so 
that the world may believe that you have sent me." John 17:21.

Thank you for your help and may the Lord bless you abundantly.

Receive my love from spain.
