About our Ministry
We are working in is the Catalonia Region of Spain in a city called Vic! This city has a strong Catalan heritage and are more closed off than the other parts of Spain because of that. The majority of adults are Catholic while the majority of young adults are agnostic and atheist. They are lost and confused, searching for answers and desperately need them. Our first few years we are going to be focusing on a few important topics - as we prepare to church-plant.
We are being sent by our home church, Loganville First Baptist, and partnered with Sharing His Love to receive support.
The church we are partnering with is a little over 5 years old and they are growing rapidly in an unreached area! The pastor is local here and is our mentor and leader. Pray with us for all the people and students we will be pouring in to.
1) LANGUAGE SCHOOL -
LEARNING TO SPEAK SPANISH AND CATALAN
2) MENTORING -
STUDYING UNDER THEIR LEADERSHIP
3) MINISTRY-
POURING INTO THE YOUTH GROUP &
YOUNG ADULTS SPECIFICALLY
4) EVANGELIZING-
CREATING NEW CONVERSATIONS DAILY WITH PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY
Another focus is to train to be effective church-planters when the Lord calls us there. We chose this Church because we trust the Pastor the Lord has already put in this city and know he is prepared to train us. The Lord opened a door and led us to them. We feel called to this specific area and the Lord has prepared this place for us to serve.
We especially love ministering to people we connect with - young adults!
After our first year, Andrew has stepped in as the Young Adults & Youth Pastor. Myla is the Children's Director. This is a difficult stage of life and we are praying for young adults that we can come alongside of and create community with. Please pray as we partner with the Church for this task to reach this specific age group.
We are passionate about meeting new people and inviting them to church. This is a hard area as they want to gain your trust and friendship first. We hope to meet people, build relationships and invite them to come with us on Sunday. Please be praying for us as we hand out Gospel Tracks daily and make friendships daily.
The main focus the first few years is learning both languages they speak in this area, while mainly focusing on Spanish. It is so important so we can effectively communicate the Gospel with those who have never heard. We are focusing on Spanish first and then will transition to learn Catalan, which is similar to Italian.
