Throughout the years, Jason & Carrie and us had remained friendly, checking in with one another from time to time. It was in early 2019, however, that we received a call from Jason and Carrie informing us that they were stepping out in obedience to God and were moving their family to Spain to pursue full-time missions work. After prayerful consideration, Angela and I committed to faithfully and financially partner with them in their efforts abroad.
In early 2020, Jason & Carrie prepared themselves and their four boys to move to Spain, arriving in early February – just before the COVID lockdowns began. Their first year on the mission field was fairly isolating, though they were able to connect with a local evangelical church in the town of A Coruna. Jason committed to preaching and teaching and Carrie served the moms in the community as much as she could during that time.
After about a year on the field, Jason & Carrie began to feel a draw towards serving pilgrims who walk the Camino de Santiago (another post is forthcoming on that). They found a building in a small, rural village along the Camino route and the Lord opened doors for them to inhabit and rent the space while pursuing ownership of the building. It’s a big building – 4 stories tall – and stands across the street from the path pilgrims are walking on their journey to the endpoint of the Camino de Santiago.
This is where we will be living for 3 months. It’s in the Northwest corner of Spain within the Galicia region.
