I’ve spent the last week installing the kitchen, putting together IKEA cabinets, and feverishly putting together the last minute details for the students staying at Villa Los Grillos.\u00a0 (with the help of Rebecca and some of our friends here, of course.)\u00a0 A nice thing about Spain are the coffee breaks:\u00a0 the ladies set out an amazing spread of coffee, hot chocolate, steaming milk, cakes, bread, butter; all work stops; and then we sit down to enjoy.\u00a0 But the amazing thing about Villa Los Grillos is that it is truly international–around the table people are talking English, Spanish, Portugese, and even Swedish.\u00a0 At one point, someone noted that around the table, we had 9 different nationalities: American, Brazilian, Argentinian, Chilean, Peruvian, Angolan, Swedish, British (from England and Gibraltar), and Nigerian!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We’ve often talked about the 42nd generation being a “multi-generational” generation: we want to bring together youth, young adults, families, and “boomers,” anyone who wants to spread the Message of God’s love and grace to the 4 corners of the world.\u00a0 But we forget about how this growing community of believers will bring together a Multi-national Nation!\u00a0 As the kingdom spreads, we are going to bring together people of different colors, backgrounds, languages, and nations–all brothers and sisters, part of a large family.\u00a0 And the one thing that binds us is the willingness to open up to each other, share our burdens, and proclaim the victory and salvation of Jesus Christ!\u00a0\u00a0 The base that we are starting here in Spain is already showing the fruit of community, of love, and of friendship–people being real and allowing God to work in our lives.<\/p>\n

“You will be for Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation”, Exodus 19:6<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks for keeping up with us on this journey.\u00a0 Pray not only for our family, but for our ministry here.\u00a0 That we will be able to develop and teach leaders, and that we will be able to impact Spain and the Costa del Sol for the glory of God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
