Where it all started....

Hola Amigos!
After coming back from Vilanova in July 2007, our team (#2) decided we needed to start a blog where we could post updates from Atlanta, and let our Spanish friends post updates about their church and what God is doing in their lives. SO, it took me a few months, but here it is! This will go to all of our friends at our partner churches in Sevilla and Vilanova, Spain, as well as the teams that have gone to Spain from Northpoint and Buckhead Churches (and also other supporters and friends). For our Spain friends, please feel free to write IN SPANISH, and we'll get it translated. (: We just want a central place where we can write back and forth and "keep in touch" as often as possible.

Background: "Global X" is the missions side of Northpoint Community Church (and its strategic partners) in Atlanta. Knowing that Spain is only 2% Christian and church is almost non-existent there, Global X started a partnership with a church in Vilanova (La Iglesia Protestante de Vilanova) and one in Sevilla, Spain (no name yet), who want to see their churches grow and become "relevant" environments where people can worship and find a relationship with God. The first team from NPCC/ BC went to Sevilla and Vilanova in June 2007, and the 2nd team went in July 2007 (only to Vilanova). Since then, one more team of five has gone over (in October 2007), but we have at least 5 more trips lined up over there in 2008! It is so encouraging to see what God is doing in these two cities!

Now, it's time to start writing. Please feel free to post pictures, links, comments, updates etc. as often as you'd like!

Hasta Luego!
