In June, the spirit of unity and shared mission was palpable as Cristovão Pereira, president of the Portuguese Association of Christian Professionals (ASPEC), introduced Chris Simpson, CBMC International’s President, in Lisbon and Aveiro. These events were more than just formal introductions; they celebrated a bond deeply rooted in a mutual love for Jesus Christ and a fervent desire to see the Portuguese marketplace transformed by the Gospel.
For 44 years, ASPEC (CBMC Portugal) has stood firm on a foundation of faithful evangelism and discipleship in this beautiful Iberian nation. From the impactful journey of Operation Timothy to the wise stewardship taught in Finances God’s Way, our Portuguese brothers and sisters have built a legacy of reaching the lost and empowering the found within the professional spheres.
As we look to the future, there is a bright and hopeful horizon for Europe. This new chapter begins right at the edge of the Atlantic, where the passion for Christ and the power of the Gospel continue to ignite hearts and transform lives in Portugal. Let us rejoice in this shared mission and press forward with renewed vigor, trusting that God’s work through us will shine ever brighter!”
