This evening the pastors of seven churches in Gibraltar met for a discussion with Dr Derek Copley of the European Evangelical Alliance to explore various issues related with the setting up of an evangelical alliance of Gibraltar. The meeting went really well and we have decided to go ahead with the formation of this. Initially five churches will set this up as founding members, and the other two will join subsequently when they go through the formality/protocol of consulting their leadership councils and/or denominational representatives. This is a huge step forward for the Gospel here in Gibraltar as the evangelical movement has never had one unified and recognized voice either in society nor in Government. We hope to raise the profile of evangelicalism in both these spheres.
In the photo you can see Dr. Copley seated on the bottom row – on the top row from left to right: Pastor Michael Mifsud (Bethel Christian Fellowship); Pastor Paco Baldachino (Evangelical Church of Gibraltar); Rev. Fidel Patron (Gibraltar Methodist Church); Pastor Sergio Revelli (The Cityline Church); Pastor Michael Aguilera (Newlife Church); Yours truly (Living Waters). Missing from the photo is Pastor Jose (Iglesia Evangelica Filadelfia) who had to leave prematurely for a meeting.

My wife Joyce and I are planning in the near future to visit Gibraltar for a possible relocation in 2011/12. I am the Pastor of l’Eglise Evangelique de Nice, a church we planted about 9 years ago. I am also a former Muslim from Morocco that the Lord brought to the fold. My wife Joyce is Jewish and we have 2 children. My wife and children are born in the US and I am a US citizen who lived in America for 32 years. We have been serving with Converge Worldwide (former Baptist General Conference) for the past 15 years.
I’d appreciate any information you can give us if the Lord direct our path in the future to relocate to Gibraltar to reach out to Muslims & Jews. We thank you and pray that you may be filled with the peace and love of the living God.
Blessings,
Ben
