Grandmother with a mission

Anabel, a grandmother from Costa Rica, who spends all the time her visa allows to serve God in Spain, wanted to come to the summer outreach. Would she fit in? She arrived in the car of a gypsy pastor, directly from teaching gypsy women. She came with three large suitcases of all the 'blessings' that the ladies had poured on her, and we were soon to find out that she also gave away freely at every opportunity. She was willing to clean the house, was respectful, fitted in to every situation and always had a smile, always ready to pray with someone as she sensed a need. But what really impressed us was to see her taking every opportunity to share the gospel. After the meeting, while all were preparing to go, she would single out a person and share Christ. When the team was enjoying siesta, resting from the heat, she would get tracts and go back to the town to 'fish for women'. Anabel is an evangelist. We've just heard that she is now in the south helping a Christian worker start a refugee home for pregnant women, as an alternative to aborting. May God send to Spain more people like Anabel.
