Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness,

to pull another hand into the light.- Norman B. Rice

Lauren - Spain is absolutely incredible. We are all loving it. We’ve toured around Barcelona and not only are we getting to see cool sights, but we’ve all been growing tremendously spiritually. We’ve been worshipping in church in Spanish, but what I find incredible is that both us and the christians from spain are able... to worship at the same time. And when we come together in Christ, there is no language barrier. I absolutely love it. Please continue to pray for our drama teams as we go out to do skits and dances in the streets of Vic and Barcelona to share Christ with all the Spanish people during the Semana Santa.
Happy Easter. :)

Buen dia family, friends, colleagues and spiritual support,
To say that we are having a blast would be an understatement. The kids are ready to hit the roads and spread the gospel. They are so excited and they have been working so diligently that we "chaperons" are so proud of this fantastic group. Thank you so much for entrusting your most precious gifts on our hands."

In HIm,
Marcelo Saenz

Dear parents and friends,
We first visited London, and then we hit the road and headed for Barcelona. We visited La Sagrada Familia, downtown Barcelona, the beach and we enjoyed the spring-like weather in this awesome and cosmopolitan town.Sorry, but facebook keeps rejecting my pics so I have to go the old-fashioned way.

Bear with me.

Dear parents. friends and colleagues,

Hola From Barcelona! We made it safe. We traveled to London, England and we went sightseeing for a few hours and then we landed on Barcelona at 9:30 pm. local time. We are having a blast. We slept in wonderful apartments and we are ready to hit the road and do what we have to do. Thank you for your support and prayers. I will keep you informed whenever I have the chance.

God bless you.

Mr. Saenz
