Summer Ministries
Hello! We hope you have had a great summer.
Jordan and I have had a full summer with a lot of excited ministry details to share. But first of all, thank you very much to so many of you who have prayed and given towards the ministry here in Gipuzkoa. Our ministry would not be possible without your generosity. God is blessing your investment. I would like to briefly highlight a few different areas of the summer ministry.

Preaching and Church Activities
In addition to the regular preaching and teaching ministries, throughout the summer we have had numerous activities for our young people, as well as fellowships with other churches. In August we had our yearly workers' retreat at Aierdi. This is a four day retreat for church workers throughout Spain and is always a time of great spiritual refreshment and teaching.
Witnessing Opportunities
Jordan and I have also continued to get involved in our town activities and events. Both of us teach weekly English classes and we are continuing to make friends and contacts. The Lord has given us several opportunities for spiritual conversations and witnessing in these past months.
Spanish Studies
Throughout the summer, Jordan has spent countless hours studying spanish with Tete Alvarez. She is making progress! Last Sunday at church, we had a visiting couple from the USA. At one point I was delighted to overhear Jordan translating back and forth between them and one of our local believers. Her diligent study is paying off!
Aierdi Work
Another ministry we have been very involved in throughout the summer is the construction work at the farmhouse. A few of the bigger projects have been remodeling the kitchen and fixing the electrical wiring throughout the farmhouse.
I had done electrical work in the States, but the system here in Europe is completely different. Last month Jordan and I went down to Gandia, where my brother David’s inlaws live. David’s father in law, in addition to being a pastor, is a professional electrician. I had the opportunity to preach and help at his church. That afternoon Jose Antonio gave me a three hour crash course on the electrical system here.
