Hey everyone! We have some exciting news that we would love to share with you!
Many of you already know our desire to serve long-term in
Spain someday as church planters.
Well, God has provided for an excellent first step for us!
We have been invited to do a one-year internship in
Spain!
How perfect!
We found out about this opportunity in late July, and have been working toward it ever since.
We have joined TEAM and are going with the program called TEAMServe, which is set up for short term ministry.
Here’s a little bit about our internship.
We were invited to work in a town called Camarma de Esteruelas, which is about thirty minutes from downtown Madrid. We were able to visit this town and church when we visited Spain in March of 2009. This church is somewhat of a hybrid environment because it meets in the Evangelical Christian Academy. Many of the teachers from this school attend the church, so it is a mixture of Spaniards, Latinos, Americans, English, and Asians. We will be aiding, in what capacity we are not sure, with the youth group and the music ministry. We both love youth and music, so this seems like the perfect fit for us to test the waters. We feel that this will be a good transition for us to have people from our own culture around us, while at the same time being able to minister with and to Spaniards.
Even though we will work in Camarma, we will be living in a town called Alcalá de Henares, which is about twenty minutes from Camarma. There we will be taking language classes and hopefully participating in a cell group that is starting up in the town. We have chosen to live in Alcalá versus Camarma because of two main reasons. One is that the University where we will be taking language classes is in Alcalá. It will be so convenient to simply be able to walk to classes instead of having to take a bus. Another reason is that we will be able to be more immersed in the culture with support just nearby.
Obviously this is only just an overview of our plan. The year in Spain is going to be filled with adventures, I'm sure, and we're so excited about it! We are just getting started with raising support, and don't know much yet, but we'll post when we know a little bit more about it. Thanks for joining us along the way!
