What will we be doing?
Seville is a large, wealthy city with pockets of urban poor and an extremely low number of Christ-followers. There will be a focus of sharing the gospel in a number of ways. We’ll be serving and sharing in ways that will leverage us as Americans, in different ways of encouraging and sharing the gospel with those living in Spain. Many people in Seville identify themselves as Catholic, but this version of Catholicism is very different than in the USA. Catholicism. It was mandated by a Spanish dictator until 1975 and has become much more about idol worship than about Jesus Christ. We will serve however Marcos and Rusty feel the holy spirit is leading to have the most impact as Americans in Spain.
“Marcos and I developed a friendship while participating in four month training for American and international church planter’s in Chicago several years ago. He’s been asking us to send a team for two years.” (Kraig)
