Latest news from Cordoba
JULY 2026

We had a very brief holiday time at some friends' house on the coast to get Cristina's parents away from the Córdoba heat but it was cut short by health issues with her dad.
So to cut a long story short this evening I have just dropped Cristina off with her mum and dad at the hospital in Cordoba and they will operate tomorrow to reinsert the catheter that became disconnected. Cristina's mum will stay the night in hospital (as is customary for family members in Andalucía) and then Cristina will do the day shift tomorrow for the operation. We will see if he needs to stay in overnight tomorrow. Please pray for a successful medical procedure and that Cristina's Dad will adjust and recover afterwards.
On a different note, before going to the coast we were able to meet up with a number of people at a bring and share meal hosted by some Americans (Matt and Hilary). We had some good conversations and Christine discovered that one of the guys at her English exchange (Salva - which is short for Salvador or Saviour) is actually an ordained priest of the Church of the Latter Day Dude (Google it if you need to) which is really a modern take on Taoism.
Cristina didn't miss the opportunity to invite him to study the Bible with us after the summer as she said to him it was clear that he was searching and that God had a plan for him. He responded saying he would consider it and that it wasn't the first time that someone had told him God clearly had a plan for him as he was saved from near death from a very serious motorbike accident a few years ago. He believes it had to be for something!
Please keep praying for wisdom for us as we consider what formal programmed events to run this coming year as we still don't have things clear. We will almost certainly carry on offering some form of looking at the Bible in a group setting and over a meal and it is likely that Cristina will continue with the English conversation group (I might start going again) and the Evangelistic Women's breakfasts.
We could offer something of Bible exploration specifically in English as well but we are conscious of the instability of our availability due to Cristina's dad's health. I will probably carry on attending the Bible studies with the Catholic guys as they provide great opportunities both during the meetings and afterwards.
Thanks for your continued prayers. With love in Jesus,
Terry and Cristina
