Every team will go through four stages of development. Forming, storming, norming and performing. We are still in the forming stage. Each stage brings us a little closer to a high performance team of church planters! As the team leaders, we are getting more and more excited about each member as we see them grow in their walk and work here in Spain. While we learn to trust each other we are also developing a high trust in what the Holy Spirit is doing through us to reach Spaniards.
As a team we have already been very active in sharing the gospel, building relationships, discovering social networks, language learning and just living life, but now the reality has hit. Everyone is anxious to see fruit and the process of discipleship begin. Most of us on the team have developed relationships with Spaniards. We love the fact that we are not looking for contacts, but rather real lasting friendships. And God has put us in the right places at the right time to see these relationships flourish.
Continue to pray with us for Alberto, Miguel, Ana, Anabel, Valle, Isabel, Carlos and John. These are all real people with their souls hanging in the balance. Our days are flooded with prayers and brokenness to see God work in their lives.
We would ask that you pray for us as we seek God’s wisdom to lead this team and continue to learn Spanish. Language learning is by far the most challenging thing we have ever attempted.
Thank you for your faithfulness.

The future is bright for the Kingdom of God in Spain!
