Dear Friends
Below is a message we received through our No Longer Music website after an evangelistic concert in Fuenlabrada, Spain last month:
"Hi! My name is **** and I want to let you know that your music is awesome! And the form and the message that you act in the stage is incredible. I'm from Fuenlabrada, in Spain, and you opened my eyes to believe in Jesus. Thank you!"

God moved powerfully throughout our tour of Spain. In every city, we worked with local churches and ministry partners to reach young secular Spaniards for Jesus. One night, we performed in a indoor venue called "La Tabacalera" - a former cigarette factory that is one of the most famous alternative clubs in Madrid. This was certainly the first time Jesus was proclaimed in this radical venue.
After the concert, I jumped off the stage and walked into the full capacity crowd in the middle of the club and I explained who Jesus is and that He offers a way of escape for the slavery the world offers us.
Remarkably everyone listened and paid close attention. It was amazing. This is a huge miracle in such a underground club and our local partners were blown away by what God did.

Throughout the tour of Spain, thousands of young Spaniards heard the Gospel clearly and relevantly and hundreds responded and raised their hands to receive Jesus.
It is clear that the young people of Spain are hungry for the truth!
Now, we are praying and seeking God's direction about:
For the lost!

Below is Luke Greenwood’s report:
During the show, the audience was very lively and engaged, clapping, and singing along to one of our choruses that says “is what we’re living for?”.
At the final moment, when we proclaim the name of Jesus and began to explain the message, the audience went silent. They even seemed to take a step closer, attentive to every word. We got down from the stage and challenged those who wanted to receive Jesus to kneel. I thought that many would leave for finding this too much to take, but about 50 people knelt and at least half of the rest of the audience gathered round to see and hear what was happening. We invited them to pray aloud to receive Jesus and the multitude of voices rose as praise to the living God.

In March 2014 we will be starting our first 3-month Discipleship School in New Zealand. So spread the word! If you are interested in building a really solid foundation in your walk with God and want to explore what God has in store for you in the future, then you should come!

"NLM Brazil in Portugal"
After the NLM tour in Spain, our mobile Stage Truck was driven to Portugal for an evangelistic tour with “NLM Brazil” - a Portuguese speaking team led by Steiger missionary Luke Greenwood. One of the concerts (in Odemira, Portugal) was organized by the town’s local musician’s association, which invited two opening bands, a local band and another well-known band from another town. About 400 people gathered to watch.Below is Luke Greenwood’s report:
