The Garcías’ Story
E & K have a combined 30 years of cross-cultural ministry experience. They have 3 daughters and live in a culturally diverse area with +120 nationalities. They love using their home for hospitality and using their gifts of teaching, discipleship, and evangelism to build up the church. God has granted them experience in church planting, church replanting, discipleship, teaching, evangelism, serving as Team Leaders, multiple language acquisition, and they are now applying their seminary studies to ministry.

E also teaches in a residential training program for Spanish-speaking workers, run by their team, preparing workers to serve in unreached areas.

About Spain
The country of Spain is a little smaller than the state of Texas. Spain is a challenging place to share the gospel. It is a post-Catholic country that is overwhelmingly secular. Of 8,112 municipalities, only around 650 have an evangelical church. The Garcías live in a strategic location to be able to build relationships and share the Gospel to build up the church in their local context and also to catalyze church planting movements among unreached people groups.
