Ministry comes in many shapes and sizes, but in Spain, we are finding that our current ministries in Spain are largely focusing on children. We have English classes in various locations, Vacation Bible Schools in churches across the district and the new Child Development Program in one of our Madrid churches. All of these outreach ministries are completely focused on children…and in turn we are getting to know their families.
People always ask about ministries that are happening in Spain and how they can help. One church in California has partnered with us in an incredible way. They have put together multiple boxes (six in all) filled with craft and school supplies. They have sent colored construction paper, crayons, colored pencils, glue sticks, erasers, pencils, pens, note cards, notebooks, rulers, stickers, pencil sharpeners, children´s safety scissors…and the list goes on and on! (Check out the picture at the top of this page.) The Gateway Church of the Nazarene has made it possible for us to move forward with these various children´s ministries without having to buy all of these supplies. Some of these supplies cannot be found very easily here in Spain…and some of these items can get expensive pretty quickly!
To the Gateway Church of the Nazarene, we say THANK YOU! Your support is greatly valued. It takes a team to minister effectively, and you all are part of the ministry team here in Spain.
