So what is En Vivo?


You know I have been writing for nearly three weeks now and have not clearly explaned what we are doing and where we are doing it. I'm going to be as brief as possible and hopefully as clear as possible. CMF (Christian Missionary Fellowship) is a missions agency out of Indiana with church plant work going on all over the globe. A few years ago they decided to add a branch to their organization that reaches out to students at major universities as a part of their mission. It began in Mexico and now they have college ministries in Chili, Spain, Mexico City, Pueblo Mexico, and Bangkok. In the next year they are looking to open up ministries at Birmingham, England and Tuebingen, Germany. Their goal is simple....reach the leaders of tomorrow with the Gospel before they get out of the University. Pretty cool!!!
That is where we are...we are working with students all over Salamanca doing our best to sow seed in Spain and let God do with that small act of faith what he wants. During the school year they have free lunches for students on Tuesdays followed by a 10 minute devotion. On Thursday's they do a full on sermon for the students and then two times a year they go on retreats which would include much of the same spiritual and fun things as a retreat in the states. It has simply been a joy to work alongside Jessie and Sophie as they lead and train tomorrows leaders of Spain in the Faith.
