Packing fun!

We leave Tuesday, at noon....for Valencia! We are off to Spain. YAY! and we are excited! That leaves 60 very full days before we get home. I am still not sure whether that excites or saddens me. But I have got two months to find out. So, I bet you would like to know what we will be up to in Valencia, other than sun bathing (oh yes, days off are so being spent at the beach. but don't feel to bad, we only get 7 days off. great intro to life in ministry, ah?) There are two churches we are connected with at the moment.

One is a Spanish Vineyard Church, it is quite small with 8 people. All spanish. Thy are doing some cool stuff, like feeding the homeless and beach minstries. They are trying to reach out to valencia's youth, because, well, they are youth! At 17, I am the median age of the church and with 6 people on our team were doubling them! We hope to encourage their young congregation, by teaching them about worship and running some sunday nights services. It sounds like they are a very talented group. we are very excited to be with them and polish up our spanish.

The other is an older church (by older, I mean the oldest person in maybe 40 instead of 26) They are english, as in from egland. It's a Frontier International Church. So the congregation should be quite mixed of different nationalites. Making us feel quite at home! We will be doing some street outreach a week after we get there with them. As well as running some Alpha courses, which are for baby christians or people just interested in learing more about the bible. be praying for big results there. Past that, we are not totally sure. We are going as God leads. Listening to His voice, praying alot, and sharing his love with everyone we meet. Whether we tell them about Him, or simply exemplify Him.

While we are there, I am in charge of translation. katie and sam also know spanish. so you can also be praying for us that the langauge comes easily. you can also pray for some divine appointments to really get to share our faith. We really want to double these churches, not just by us being there. We want the churches to grow. Thank you for all your support! And patience. I will try and make a point of writing blogs on mondays (our day off) but if I miss a day, you'll have to count on waiting another week. Thats just how it works, cause we have to go all the way into town (we are staying in a village about 20 minutes out by public transit). Thanks guys! talk to you NEXT monday!
