"La Estación" en la calle






Hoy hemos realizado un programa especial de "La estación" en la calle. Una fiesta de fin de curso para los niños de la Estación y sus amigos con juegos y distintos talleres. Ha sido muy divertido y nuestros vecinos han podido ver de cerca "La Estación" y sus voluntarios.

Thank You/ Gracias


Una vez más, hemos podido disfrutar de una relación muy especial de amor y servicio al Señor en Parque este; para ver a muchos llegar a conocerle y establecer una relación creciente con Él.

Que Gran Dios Servimos!

Hola! Wow! It has been a fantastic week here in Sevilla with the people of East Park Church. We finished the camp yesterday and are having our celebration tonight at the church. The "students" from the camp as well as their family are invited to come and share in what they learned this week. We can't believe the week is already over. It has flown by. We had a great time teaching and making new friends.

We have seen God's hand all week. We have had some prayer requests answered and seen God work in big ways. There were a lot more new faces this year from the community than last. What an answer to prayers. Pepe and the members from the church did a wonderful job making relationships with these people, inviting them to church, and getting the word out about East Park Church.

The families of the church have been so gracious in hosting us and having us over to their houses for dinner. Last night was our last house dinner. We went to Pepe and Mari's house and it was fantastic. We have truly enjoyed their hospitality and friendship. We are definitely going to miss the Spanish dinners!!!!

Thank y'all so much for the prayers and support. Continue to pray for East Park Church, the people who came to the church, the seeds that have been planted, the members of the church, and our travels.

We leave tomorrow for Portugal and will be home on Monday.

Once again, gracias and what a great God we serve!!!!

We love y'all!

Hasta pronto!

Stephanie, Shaun, Kim, Lisa, Arinn, and Julie

Solo Dios!


Hola from Espana! Here we are, finished with day 2 of classes. We have had a great time so far and we are all loving the experience. Yesterday, Monday, was a little slow in the morning but picked up full speed for the evening class. We had a total of 35 students for the 7-9 pm class.



A group picture before our first class on Monday morning.

Today was great and we had many more students in the morning. We split up our intermediate group and had Julie and I teaching one group while Arinn and Kim worked with the other. Stephanie worked with the little kids (big surprise) and Shaun with the advanced group.

One of the most incredible things that we have seen on this trip is the love that these people poor out to each other and to us. The members of the church are so sweet and open up their hearts and homes to us. The God that we serve is truly an amazing God. We have all seen that it does not matter what language we speak or what country we are from, God is Great!! He is working in so many amazing ways with East Park Church.

We are blessed to share this week with this extended family!
Out to dinner on Sunday in downtown Sevilla.
We had 15 of us walk around the city and for dinner. What a wonderful evening!

In the coming days please help us and pray for the following areas at East Park Church:
1) That the next steps wou
ld be made clear for those that are attending the English camp.
2) If the door opens, that we can share truth with the students and be a spark that starts an incredible fire for Jesus.
3) Encouragement for Pepe for our presence to be a reminder of the love and support that they have from around the world.
4) That we all will continue to maintain a positive spirit and to keep Jesus at the forefront of our trip.

Things are we are Thankful for, Praises!
1) Our safe journey here and that all of our luggage arrived safely.
2) The positive attitude of all 6 of us and the love and laughter that we share.
3) The attendance has grown each day for our English camp.
4) So many familiar faces from last year are back again this year!

Ciao,

Lisa (Arinn, Stephanie, Shaun, Kim, & Julie)

Here is our chauffeur Shaun!

Hoy ha sido nuestro primer día de campus. Por la tarde hemos tenido casi cuarenta personas no cristiana!!! Teníamos todo preparado y esperamos la hora de comienzo con expectación. Comenzó a llegar tanta gente que tuvimos que empezar un poco más tarde para saludarles e inscribirles.
