Bill and Diane Jackson are church-planting missionaries in Spain. They are focusing on the three cities of Zamora, Sanabria, and Segovia. The Jacksons are encouraged by the hunger for God and the infilling of the Holy Spirit by the people in Sanabria whom they are reaching as seen in the following incident related by Bill.
 "On a recent Saturday afternoon, we were in Sanabria teaching regarding the baptism in the Holy Spirit (as recorded in Acts 2 and elsewhere in the Bible). After the Bible study, we prayed together for quite some time. We had a wonderful time of sensing God's presence and power with us, but no one specifically was baptized in the Holy Spirit.
I suggested that in the privacy of their homes, they go back over the Scriptures and teaching that I had printed out for them and pray for God to fill them with His power and presence. I had told them that they needed to pray earnestly and not quit until they were filled and satisfied. But they did something even better!
About 11:30 on Saturday night, they came back together for a prayer meeting. They reviewed the Scriptures and teaching and prayed until 5 AM Sunday morning. According to one of them, Iraida, they had a wonderful time of brokenness, prayer, and sensing God's presence. She said that the room where they were gathered became very hot and they even had the window open although though they live in the mountains in the Northwest of the province where the nights are quite cool. Then Iraida was baptized in the Holy Spirit.
I can't wait to see what God will do next in Sanabria!"
