There seems to be a little confusion about where I am and what I’m actually doing. I hope that this post will help answer some questions and give you a little insight into the internship.
- Where am I living?
I will be permanently living in Cáceres. I lived there for 2 weeks in an apartment with my teammate, Kristin. I will look for my own apartment when the internship is finished (July 6).
2 weeks ago, we came to Velilla de San Antonio (a small town outside of Madrid). Tim, Paula, Kristin, the interns and I stayed at a hotel in town for the first week. This past week, Kristin, the interns, and I have been moving between the hotel, another teammate’s home in this town, and a trip to Bejar.

2. What have we been doing?
The first 2 weeks in Cáceres, I took care of setting up initial things for living in Spain: bank account, cell phone, etc.
Internship week 1: We taught through Sonship material that focuses on how we are no longer slaves but rather sons and daughters of God. We looked at how God has adopted us into his family and how richly we are blessed because of what Christ has done for us.
Internship week 2: We were involved in the Prayer Conference all week. We learned about the spiritual history of Spain, the spiritual needs of Spain, and much more. We also heard testimonies of nationals and teammates and praised God for how He has worked in our lives. We also visited other ministries and learned how to pray for them.
One ministry we visited is called Kilometro 0. They share the gospel in a large plaza in Madrid. My teammate, Betsy, was talking with a man from China who heard the gospel there. This man, Edwin, decided to trust his Christ as his Lord and Saviour after talking with Betsy and thinking about the need for a decision. Praise God!
- 3. What will we be doing?
Internship week 3: We will go to Ligonde (northern Spain) and serve at a house where people who walk the Camino de Santiago can stay. People from all over the world walk the Camino and are more open to spiritual conversations. Please pray that the Spirit would fill us and open people’s hearts to God.
Thank you for all your prayers. Please let me know how I can be praying for you too! There is so much more that I could tell you, but I hope this gives a little more clarity. Please don’t hesitate to write me if you’d like more information!
These are the 4 interns and Kristin. The interns are amazing! They have huge hearts to love God and are open to learning. Kristin just celebrated this week being in Spain for 1 year. I praise God for her and that we get to serve together. Thank God for them!
