Thank you for partnering with our family in God’s work in Granada, Spain.
Both of us came to the Lord in Caracas, Venezuela, where we were born and raised. In Caracas, God not only called us into the mission field, but also helped us to take our first steps into ministry. By His grace, we helped plant two churches, and also aided in equipping preachers, training others and served alongside the missionaries working with Team Expansion in Venezuela.
We have been serving in Spain since 2016, taking part in a team that is located in the south of Spain in the city of Granada. Our team’s goal to see a disciple-making movement (DMM) and church-planting movement (CPM) in our state (Granada) by the year 2024. We are also pushing forward a coalition to help others see a DMM or CPM in their states (17 in total) by the end of 2032. We’ve named this the Coalition 1700.
We have embraced this strategy because statistically, Spain is currently is the least evangelized country in the Spanish speaking world. More than 90% of the towns and villages are still without a Christian presence and around 10 million Spaniards (about 20% of the population) have not yet heard the Gospel.
Our strategy starts with us, being followers of Christ who obey, put into practice, and share with others what the Word of God says. Our mission begins at home in our own lives trying to follow and imitate Christ every day. We take that mindset to every relationship we can establish by prayer walking through unreached towns, seeking opportunities to meet others, especially spiritual seekers. We want to be part of our community and serve them. We also plant Gospel seeds through media efforts that allow us to find and reach those who are not currently not in our circle of influence but are still seeking God. These principles and tools that we are living out are helping us to mobilize and partner with local churches to equip them and work together on the task of multiplying disciples of Christ and churches throughout the country.
We trust that God has a plan for this nation and we strive to see it happen in our time. We would love to partner with you to bring Christ to this nation.
