A new team from Atlanta is coming to Sevilla!

This is an email from Bethany Miller, the UpStreet Groups Director at Buckhead Church in Atlanta. She and a new team of excited people will leaving for Sevilla this Monday to help them with their childrens' program, that they are calling La Estación. Please pray for their safe travels and that the Lord is glorified through their work and through the committed hearts of the people in East Park Church! Gracias!

What is your earliest memory of church?

The hope for East Park Church in Sevilla is that the earliest memories of the kids who live in Sevilla will be that Worship can be Fun, They can Trust God no matter what, and the Bible is never boring.

That is why God has called a ragtag group from Georgia to leave family and friends for eight days in September and fly to the southern part of Spain to partner with the amazing and courageous founders of East Park Church to create and launch La Estación.

La Estación, literally translated means “The Station”, is the name of the children’s ministry based off of NPM UpStreet program, which will debut in Sevilla at Parque Este on September 14, Lord Willing.

After brainstorming sessions, numerous meetings on both sides of the pond, many translated e-mails and as much pre planning as possible, the departure date is less than two weeks away.

The team in Sevilla understands the children they are trying to reach. The team from Georgia has seen firsthand how both children and adult lives can be transformed by relevant children’s ministries. God has a plan, and will weave the strengths from the collective team to create something beyond what individually we can imagine today.

We can’t wait!!

For His Glory,

The La Estación Team!
