Going to Spain

As a part of our continuing call to serve God, we feel like God has led us to our
next big step – which is leaving the familiarity of our comfy couch and our yappy dogs in
Norcross and heading out to Seville, Spain with 13 other people from our church. We are
petrified since we have never left the country! But we are trusting God and answering his
call to serve those that need us.

About 7 months ago, our partners in Seville found a great space to use for their church… well, it’s better than where they were meeting, which was under a tree in a park! Obviously, the tree in the park was not optimal and had some issues. Now they have a “store front” location in the middle of a high-rise apartment community. Because their new location is now in the middle of restaurants, coffee shops, playgrounds and apartments, it is a perfect location for them to reach out to the community that is mostly Muslim.

The space that they have rented needs some renovations. It was a workout facility. They need to patch walls, put in flooring, paint, install sound and lighting, and make it feel more like their church home. They have had some generous donations that allowed them to get the work started. Our team is going over May 20-27 to help them finish the work. We are really excited about all the possibilities that will present themselves once they have a permanent location. In honor of how they began, the name of their church will be Iglesia Parque Este or East Park Church.

HOW YOU CAN HELP:
We would LOVE for you to partner with us as we head abroad. You can help us in 2 different ways.
• We are raising $5,400.00 for our trip. This money will go toward travel, room, board and supplies for our trip.

• Prayer!! If you don’t feel like you can contribute financially at this time, please know that your prayers are even more important. Pray that we have safe travels, that we have wisdom while preparing for the trip and that we act wisely while we are in Spain.

Know that you are always in our prayers as well. We are thankful that you are a part of our lives and that we can to share our experiences with you.
