In the last two years we have transitioned to more intentional missional house groups where there are opportunities for everyone to participate. As a missionary, I am just like any other participant. We have a format that allows everyone to contribute with ice breakers, goal setting and discussion around the previous Sunday’s sermon. All this leads us to a praxis of our faith.

We now have two groups in Pozoblanco (one for women and the other for families) and one in Villanueva de Córdoba (a mixed group unusually made up only of Spaniards and including two new people who have integrated into church and are making steps of faith). Another group that started at the end of September in Almadén is made up of a retired couple and lots of students from Equatorial New Guinea.

What is the impact of all of this? We are seeing more visitors as we intentionally reach out. Someone always wants to give testimony to how God has been at work in their lives that week. One example is that Mari told us about how she watched her son coming out of school gates on a bike and he crashed into a car, hit the bonnet hard and crashed to the ground. She cried out, “Lord have mercy!” — because Hugo wasn’t wearing a helmet. In just seconds, an ambulance and local police arrived. There was blood everywhere and he was taken to hospital — but he had only bit his lip and had scratches. Hugo was able to go home that very afternoon.
