Contores de Dallas from DeSoto. Texas coming in March
Southwest Baptist Church of DeSoto, (Dallas) Texas has sent 36 Texans to Extremadura from March 12-20, 2000.
Praise God for answers to your prayers:
 The Mayor of DeSoto, Texas has decided that he will accompany the group! This adds tremendous dignity and prestige to the entire team. Spaniard regard mayors highly.
 The Caja de Extremadura Bank decided Feb.1st to sponsor the Texans by providing free announcements for all the concerts! This is worth thousands of dollars of support and will insure large audiences everywhere the Cantores de Dallas perform.
 Thank you for praying for David's speaking engagements while in England in January. Two music groups expressed a willingness to come to Spain if they were invited. Last week an English Baptist music group sent a message expressing their desire to come to Spain in the coming years. Pray that this group would be officially invited by local Spanish authorities.
Pray for:
