Chasing the Call: Lessons from the Bullring

Dear Friends and Partners,

Right now, back home in Spain, our town is buzzing with the running of the bulls. It’s one of our favorite times of year. Heifers thunder down the street, followed by the bulls chasing after the runners, while the whole town gathers in the plaza afterward to celebrate together. Most years, Adam is right in the middle of it all with his camera, catching moments, building friendships, and finding every open door he can to share the Gospel with our neighbors. This year, though, we’re watching from 4,000 miles away, and Caleb and Sammy keep asking when we’ll get to watch it together again.

Instead of the plaza in Spain, our path these past few weeks has taken us across the southern United States. We’ve driven over 3,500 miles through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas.

If we’re honest, full-time itineration requires a lot of the same endurance as those runners in the plaza. It takes persistence to keep knocking on doors, navigating busy church calendars, and driving the extra mile to share what God is doing in Europe.

But God keeps reminding us that every mile and every conversation matters—and He is opening doors! Out of dozens of meetings along these 3,500 miles, six churches have promised to bring our ministry before their boards for potential monthly support!

Whether you’ve stood with our family for years or you’re just getting to know us, thank you for being part of this story. Your prayers and partnership have carried us further than you know.

Our hearts are set on returning to Spain by July 2027, and to get there, we are praying for 62 Pillar Partners (churches, families, or individuals) who are willing to commit to a recurring monthly gift of $100. These gifts are what will carry us across the finish line and sustain the ministry ahead.

We would love to grab a coffee and chat with you, and we would love to hear from you! Let us know how your church, ministry, and/or family are doing! You can always reach us directly at adambethanyweatherly@gmail.com.

If you haven’t already, would you prayerfully consider becoming one of our 62?

Setting up a recurring gift takes just a minute. You can find instructions and links to give at: www.showingtheworld.com/donate.

Thank you for walking this stretch of the road with us, and for praying for our family as we finish this season and prepare to head home to Spain.

Blessings,

Adam & Bethany Weatherly
