It´s Official...Global Aid Network is in Spain
In April, our national director, Ruben Rivera (seated front row, right), attended meetings of all the national directors of GAiN throughout Europe and around the world. During the gathering, each national director was asked to present an update on its team and office and share about projects that the other GAiN offices could get involved with. Later in the week, several countries, including Spain, were added to the official list of GAiN offices around the world.
While I wasn´t able to accompany him as an interpreter, I did have the opportunity to translate Ruben´s GAiN Spain presentation. It was a great talk. (If you´d like to read it you can click here.) All the directors said so. Ruben was kind to congratulate me, but the truth is that God really used him to paint a picture of what God has done through Spain´s Dawn Refuge orphanage project and of what He might do in the future in and through Spain.
The presentation was so moving that between the various GAiN offices represented, 15,000€ was pledged toward Spain-initated projects to help jump start this office. Praise God for His faithfulness to complete His work here in Spain. Pray that we would be faithful in our start and faithful in our follow-up.
Below is a description from Ruben of the European meetings that he attended....
"Greetings to everyone from Riga!
Represented here are Germany, Holland, Austria, Latvia, Estonia and Spain. Together we are working out common strategies to be more effective in the sending of humanitarian aid wherever it´s necessary. We are creating a combined logistic network that will sustain the sending of this aid throughout the world, especially wanting to involve people that want to participate in this mission that unites us all.
It´s very exciting to be a part, as GAiN España, of this common vision of so many countries, working with intensity and excellence in the midst of the needs of those who suffer most around the world.
While I´m here at the conference I wanted to encourage you to join with us in the projects that we are carrying out within Spain and outside of Spain.
You already know it....TOGETHER WE CAN HELP.
The directors of GAiN continue our meetings in Riga and we have signed a protocol document of collaboration and common strategies among the 5 European countries represented. Among other things, we were able to come to an agreement about the projects that we will be concentrating on in the upcoming years. These projects are located in countries like Estonia, Lativa, Romania, Bosnia and outside of Europe as well, Haiti, Uganda and Japan. Working together we hope to continue creating and increasing their aid network to reach the maximum number of needy people in these places. This is what unites and motivates the group.
