For the past 7 years we have been running a little health-food store on the Costa Blanca in Spain. We started with a vision to do health and mission work for German and English speaking foreigners. The foundation and survival of this shop is exclusively by the grace of God. We have been supported by Country-Life Basel, and Markus Jaudas gave us invaluable help and advice. We started with the simple things we had. Funding to start came from God through brothers in the church.
What have we been doing these years?
We held several courses on baking bread, vegetarian cooking, nutrition, health, spiritual subjects and seminars for couples.
Three people were baptized and another three made their decision here to be baptized but were baptized in Germany. This couple has since moved to Spain and continue to support our mission work.
A big problem is that many people don’t live in Spain the whole year therefore we are not able to maintain sufficient contact with them. Nevertheless, we know we are in the right place. We have a lot of contact with the public, many of which become new friends who we then in turn attempt to bring closer to God. Several of our customers have been attending our Bible meetings every Thursday.
Our prayer request is to receive a pastor who is fluent in German, English and Spanish to make progress as well as support the efforts of the mission work. Frank is currently leading the little German worship group in Calpe. We also pray for possibilities to expand this little family project with perhaps a little restaurant, fresh juice bar, take-away or even an outpost or medical treatment facility according to God’s Plan.
