Spain: the \u201cBrigada Decisi\u00f3n\u201d is born to help in emergencies and disasters<\/h2>\n
On 23 October, the evangelical organisation Decisi\u00f3n presented, at its Resource Warehouse in Alcal\u00e1 de Henares, the \u201cBrigada Decisi\u00f3n\u201d, a project of multidisciplinary teams to intervene in major natural disasters and social emergencies during the first 72 hours of a crisis, both in Spain and abroad.<\/strong><\/p>\n The idea was born in practice: after the Valencia DANA in 2024, the organisation mobilised dozens of volunteers the day after the disaster, and this summer it accompanied people affected by fires in the Community of Madrid and \u00c1vila together with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association\u2019s Rapid Response Team. The brigade is organised into four profiles<\/strong>: emergency professionals (police officers, health workers and firefighters), trade professionals (electricians, carpenters and construction technicians), general volunteers for logistical support work and a chaplaincy team for the spiritual and emotional care of those affected. It will work in coordination with Civil Protection and the authorities, with vans, generators, motor pumps and satellite communications to operate independently, and it aims to train more than 100 volunteers<\/strong> in its first phase. On 7 November<\/strong> there will be a free one-day training session at the Pasi\u00f3n con Cristo church, together with the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team, for those who want to learn how to respond to a crisis and accompany people going through pain. The project is led by David de Lago (general direction), Emeric Olah (national coordinator), Carmelo Troya (chaplaincy), Enrique Justo (action teams) and Jos\u00e9 Zarco (resources).<\/p>\n Source: Actualidad Evang\u00e9lica<\/a><\/p>\n The Evangelical Council of the Valencian Community (CECVA) will celebrate on Saturday 31 October, from 6:30 p.m., its institutional event for Protestant Reformation Day at the Chamber of Commerce of Castell\u00f3n de la Plana, a meeting that the Valencian public television channel \u00c0 Punt will broadcast live for the fourth consecutive year.<\/strong><\/p>\n Moving the event to Castell\u00f3n is this year\u2019s new feature, after editions held in Valencia and Gand\u00eda, and it gives special relevance to the evangelical community of the province. The meeting will include the participation of the deputy mayor of Castell\u00f3n, Vicent Sales, and the new CECVA president, \u00c1ngel Vicente Palos Tornero, who will open the day with words of welcome and the opening prayer. The programme will combine the reading of the manifesto with the presentation of the five classic principles of the Reformation<\/strong> \u2014Soli Deo Gloria, Solus Christus, Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide and Sola Gratia\u2014, a sermon by pastor Manuel Sarrias on Sola Scriptura and a section entitled \u201cThe work in Castell\u00f3n\u201d, an example of God\u2019s grace in the Valencian Community. One of the central moments will be the presentation of the fifth edition of the Gaspar de Centelles Awards<\/strong>, with which CECVA recognises the work of people and institutions in defence of religious freedom and plurality. The event has the support of the Ajuntament de Castell\u00f3, the Interreligious Board of Castell\u00f3n, the organisation Castell\u00f3 Ciutat Intercultural, the Pluralismo y Convivencia platform and the Castell\u00f3n Pastors\u2019 Fellowship.<\/p>\n Source: Actualidad Evang\u00e9lica<\/a><\/p>\n From 27 to 31 October, Seoul will host the general assembly of the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA), the first in-person meeting of all national evangelical alliances since 2019, a body that seeks to represent some 600 million evangelical Christians around the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Spanish Evangelical Alliance will travel to South Korea with a clear proposal: that national alliances recover a co-responsible role within the World Alliance, with more participation in decisions, more shared responsibility and more meetings, so that the sense of family and belonging among the world\u2019s evangelicals grows. Its general secretary, Xes\u00fas Manuel Su\u00e1rez, explained in an interview that the WEA would be stronger in its mission with greater internal democracy<\/strong>, and recalled that \u201cthe WEA is built with the National Alliances, not with superstructures\u201d. Among the proposals it will take to Seoul: that the International Council be made up of representatives appointed by the regional alliances, that those representatives report regularly to the national alliances and be accountable to them, that the general secretary be elected directly by the General Assembly and that an intermediate assembly be held online<\/strong>. The underlying message is simple and biblical: to ask and listen more before deciding, as Jesus did with Bartimaeus, whom he asked what he wanted him to do for him before healing him.<\/p>\n Source: Evang\u00e9lico Digital<\/a><\/p>\n Uruguay\u2019s Minister of Housing and Territorial Planning, Tamara Paseyro, received on 22 October in her office pastor Louder Garabedian, president of the Council of Evangelical Representativeness of Uruguay (CREU), at a meeting that included a dialogue about the Christian faith and a joint prayer.<\/strong><\/p>\n According to the organisation itself, Garabedian shared the message of the gospel, with an emphasis on the personal relationship with God<\/strong>, and expressed the organisation\u2019s willingness to collaborate with institutions. When asked about prayer requests, the minister expressed her wish to receive spiritual support for the development of her work and the responsibilities of the ministry, and the meeting ended with a joint prayer in the office. Founded in 2004, CREU brings together evangelical organisations and churches and maintains links with institutions and public authorities: in July 2021, a delegation led by Garabedian had already been received by then-president Luis Lacalle Pou, in the same non-partisan spirit of service to vulnerable people. The visit to Paseyro took place a week after the presentation of the \u201cAbriendo Puertas\u2013Primera Vivienda\u201d programme, although CREU\u2019s publication does not indicate that this initiative was discussed during the meeting.<\/p>\n![\"Presentation](\"https:\/\/actualidadevangelica.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_20261023_182411.jpg\")
