Madrid, Spain — A powerful weekend of worship, thanksgiving, and spiritual renewal marked a historic milestone for the Pentecostal Missionary Church of Christ (4th Watch) in Madrid. The church joyfully celebrated the PMCC 4th Watch Madrid 25th Church Anniversary and hosted a special Prayer Fellowship as part of the Home Free Global Crusade from July 5–6, 2025, at the prestigious Mutua Madrileña Auditorium.
This two-day gathering became not only a commemoration of God’s sustaining grace but also a declaration of renewed commitment to the apostolic mission in Spain and across Europe.
A Powerful Start: Confidence in Prayer
The celebration began on July 5 with a dynamic Prayer Fellowship that brought together the brethren of Madrid and nearby locales. Presiding over the event was Apostle Jonathan Santos Ferriol, who delivered a stirring message centered on the theme “Confidence in Prayer.”
“Prayer is an act that must be done in the spirit of confidence,” Apostle Ferriol declared. “When you pray, you must pray confidently. Do not pray in doubt and uncertainty.”
He reminded the congregation that God is faithful, good, and unchanging—worthy of complete trust and devotion. Believers were exhorted to come boldly before the Throne of Grace, knowing that every good and perfect gift flows from Him.
The message called the church to embrace prayer not as a ritual, but as an act of faith anchored in the nature of God Himself. Apostle Ferriol urged believers to always choose God above all alternatives, declaring that true spiritual strength comes from dependence on Him alone.
Celebrating 25 Years of Apostolic Faithfulness
On July 6, the Madrid Locale gathered in full strength to mark its 25th Church Anniversary, carrying the theme “Standing Apostolic, Bound for Greater Glory.” The occasion was more than a celebration—it was a testimony of God’s enduring grace that has upheld the church for a quarter of a century.
The program began with a vibrant dance presentation, a visual expression of thanksgiving to God. This was followed by a powerful time of praise and worship, where voices united in heartfelt gratitude for 25 years of ministry and mission in Spain.
For many brethren, the anniversary was a deeply personal moment, reflecting on how God has transformed lives, strengthened families, and built a thriving apostolic community in Madrid. The church’s journey from humble beginnings to a flourishing congregation stands as a witness to the faithfulness of God.
Torchbearer Awarding Ceremony
One of the most anticipated highlights of the anniversary was the Torchbearer Awarding Ceremony, which recognized individuals who have faithfully responded to God’s call and are now ordained ministers of the PMCC (4th Watch).
The awards were presented by Pastor Tess Salanap, Evangelist Violy Concepcion, and Apostle Jonathan Santos Ferriol, who together honored the lives and labors of those entrusted with the apostolic torch. The ceremony underscored the importance of leadership in continuing the mission of the End-Time Church and the responsibility of every minister to stand boldly for the truth of the Gospel.
A Message of Awakening and Vision
In his anniversary sermon, Apostle Ferriol delivered a compelling message of spiritual awakening, drawing inspiration from the writings of Apostle Paul. He warned against the perils of spiritual dullness—a condition that blinds people from recognizing the true identity of Jesus Christ.
“The god of this age seeks to blind many,” he declared, “but through faith in Christ and genuine repentance, the veil is lifted, and we can behold the glory of the Lord.”
Apostle Ferriol emphasized that Jesus is not merely a figure from history but the living radiance of God’s glory, the Creator and Sustainer of all things. He reminded the church that spiritual clarity is urgent in these times, as deception continues to hinder people from experiencing the fullness of God’s truth.
The message challenged the brethren to stand firm in their apostolic identity and to remain vigilant against the schemes of the enemy. It was a call to spiritual renewal, urging believers to deepen their devotion and carry forward the mission of the church with greater conviction.
Looking Ahead: Bound for Greater Glory
The PMCC 4th Watch Madrid 25th Church Anniversary was not only a celebration of the past but also a prophetic declaration of faith for the future. As the church enters a new season, it remains firmly committed to its mission of evangelism, discipleship, and unity in the apostolic ministry.
The District of Madrid continues to grow as a beacon of faith in Europe, embodying the church’s vision of reaching souls and building stronger communities of believers. Anchored in prayer and empowered by God’s Word, the brethren look forward with great expectation to greater glory, deeper fellowship, and wider impact in proclaiming the gospel throughout Spain and beyond.
As Apostle Jonathan S. Ferriol powerfully reminded the congregation, the mission of the church is far from finished. The call is clear: to pray more, win more, and build more—until Christ returns.
