We had a wonderful day spending more time with our friends here in Sitges and Vilanova. We spent a few hours bonding while painting the church´s childrens room and kitchen. Both were in need of a new look at fresh coat of paint. Our team really put hard work into the project and our friends from Spain were very appreciative and loved the refreshed look. We then joined them for some tasty local seafood paella at a local restaurant. We spent time picking their brains about how many of their current church programs are doing.
Later last night we met back at the church along with 15 members of the church for Starting Point training led by Renee, Mozelle and Jamey. Starting Point is a program that we use at Buckhead Church in Atlanta to provide a great beginning baseline for people interested in getting involved with church. It is normally a small group of about 10-15 people that meets weekly to discuss topics about religision and faith at a high level. Our teammates did an outstanding job during the training and the church members are very excited about implementing this program. We received great feedback and they let us know that this program has been something they have been wanting to implement. We also left them 50 starting point packets which include workbooks and CDs in Spanish to get them started which were provided thanks to your support.
It was another day filled with great activities and we are all loving the people, food and our felowship in Spain.

SO glad the Starting Point training went so well! I know that church is being blessed by your servants' hearts and your love for them. I will keep praying for connections and for God's glory to shine brightly this week!
