Colombia: proposal to declare October 31 as National Bible Day<\/h2>\n
Colombian senator Sara Castellanos, a Christian pastor from the National Salvation party, presented a bill this week to declare October 31 as the National Bible Day in Colombia, in order to recognize the spiritual, historical and cultural importance of the Scriptures in the country.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nThe initiative was announced on Thursday, October 29, during an event at the G12 auditorium in Bogot\u00e1, home of the Charismatic International Mission, with the announced presence of President Abelardo de la Espriella. The day before, on Wednesday the 28th, Castellanos distributed copies of the Bible to fellow congress members during the plenary session, a gesture for which she thanked Bible Societies for donating the copies. \u00abYou don’t read the Bible, the Bible reads you,\u00bb<\/strong> the senator said. The chosen date is no coincidence: it marks the anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, October 31, 1517, when Martin Luther published his 95 Theses. The proposal sparked debate: representative Miguel Grisales objected to bringing religious texts into Congress and defended the secular character of the State. The bill must now go through the legislative process to become law.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nThe opening day was marked by messages of hope, congregational participation and a special emphasis on family life. Reverend Carlos Medina shared a preaching titled \u00abHope must rise again\u00bb<\/strong>. The convention previously visited three regions of the country: Tarapoto, October 8\u201311; Cusco, October 15\u201318; and Huaraz, October 22\u201325. MMM leaders and ministers from all over Peru, including Josu\u00e9 Ascarruz, Luis Meza Bocanegra, Clemente Vergara, Jos\u00e9 A. Soto and Rodolfo Gonzales Cruz, joined the opening in the capital, where thousands of families gathered to pray and hear the preaching of the Word.<\/p>\n

Europe: evangelical Christianity fills stadiums and returns to the public square<\/h2>\n
An unexpected phenomenon is shaping the European landscape: the public, massive re-emergence of evangelical Christianity in a continent long considered post-Christian. Crowded marches, stadium festivals, pastoral congresses and evangelistic campaigns are marking a new cycle of spiritual mobilization that crosses borders.<\/p>\n
![\"Festival](\"https:\/\/cms.evangelicodigital.com\/upload\/imagenes\/6a205ab87e7a7_franklingrahambielorrusiaG.jpg\")
<\/p>\nIn Spain, the event The Change 2026 gathered 35,000 people<\/strong> at the Metropolitan Stadium in Madrid, and evangelist Franklin Graham brought together more than 12,000 at the Festival of Hope. In London, thousands of believers marched through the streets in the March for Jesus, reviving an initiative that had not been held for 25 years. In Belarus, the Festival of Hope drew more than 30,000 people<\/strong>, and in Germany, Latin Pentecostal leaders from across Europe met to coordinate mission strategies alongside their German colleagues. The International Anglican Network has placed church planting and the re-evangelization of the continent at the center of its agenda. The report also notes the debate: some media read these gatherings through a political lens, while others point out that the mobilization reflects a growing plurality in the European public square. The challenge, analysts conclude, is not to fill stadiums but to fill lives with Christ<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
