The McCann family are being given support from local churches after British police were given permission to excavate land close to where Madeline went missing.
Kate and Gerry have been informed of plans to dig up areas in Praia da Luz following their daughters disappearance 7 years ago.
Rev Rob Gladstone is the vicar where the McCann family live and told Premier a service was held for the family at the weekend.
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
