But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
(Philippians 4:19)
Much to our surprise, owner of the hotel where we meet offered us a larger room for our weekly Sunday fellowship. This was given at a price much less than it should be. With that, which includes a smaller room we have nearby for our children, we consider this a great answer to our prayer for more space to worship together. Our spiritual family is continuing to be encouraged by each other and we are blessed each week as Ivan is presently teaching through Romans.
Also, we were able to encourage our church family of El Rincón with news of our trip to Switzerland! Since we were invited to lead the youth at the church retreat in Zurich, we were able to see brothers and sisters we hadn’t seen in a long time. It was such a great time. Not only did we fellowship with many familiar and new faces, but we were able to introduce Samuel to them. The body there has grown tremendously in numbers and in spiritual maturity. And though we were sad to go, we left with our hearts being truly blessed and strengthened by them.
Finally, the arrival of David Leyva as guest and missionary in our home for this month has brought a swell of welcomed changes. He has been able to serve us in any way we need, great or small, in tasks that serve both our church and our home: editing our video presentations, promoting our church with small fliers he deposits all over town, and even writing this very blog. Also, he has been able to fellowship with us in prayer and edifying conversation, which has been a joy. We’re expecting Eric Flores to join us soon in the beginning of July – pray that his arrival will be protected and that the Lord will prepare him for his stay.

Looking forward to seeing you all really soon. I'm praying for your family and for the body there in El Rincon. Many blessings!
Thank you, Alicia! Please, send our love to Pr. Ted and your girls. When our you all coming to visit us? Just an idea. God bless you!
Hey Ryan! Ya pronto estaras aqui con nosotros. Tenemos ganas de verte y pasar tiempo contigo. Un saludo muy carinoso y hasta el dia 4!
Hey, Ivan and Eunice. My name is Carolina Medina.. You guys both don't know me, but I happened to run into your page while searching on google "Calvary chapels in Spain". My mother, Sara Medina, and I just moved here to Rota, Spain from Oceanside, California, and where we attended Vista Calvary Chapel. It's been definitely a change being here, but as a family we feel like God wanted us to be in Spain for a reason... (: My mom currently works on base at the Navy Hospital, but we are desperate to attend a Christian Church and realized that your location isn't far off? Where are you guys exactly? We'd like to come and visit your church. We've also noticed that you guys both attended Bible College in California! That's really cool! I am going to be a Sophmore in University and was attending Biola University in California this past year as a Worship Major. Please let me know the churches address so we can google map everything and plan to visit your church soon.
Blessings!
Hope to hear from you soon.
(:
