Investing in the Super Mommys

By Jill in Spain -

 In celebration of Women's history month, during this month of March, I want to share with you about the the privilege I have to work with all kinds of women in Ágape, some volunteers and others long-term staff. 

Today, I celebrate Supermamás, a small group of women who live in the surrounding area who are caring for their newborns and little ones and seeking to grow in the Lord at the same time.

I remember when I was a new mom in our little village of Sant Vicenç de Castellet. I was so far removed from my Ágape community in Barcelona. The days were long and lonely for me. God was faithful and sustained me and carried me.....but I have never forgotten that difficult season of life and have prayed for an opportunity to be an encouragement and a light for other moms so that they don't have to learn to be moms in isolation and loneliness.

I started by mentioning the idea to a few moms at our church who live close to me. They invited a couple of moms. They seem to have really enjoyed the idea and we have been meeting since January almost every week! 

Raquel, Leigha, Dilean, Dámaris and Marcela are 5 strong and courageous women. The majority are first-time mothers. They are also professional women: a nurse, a missionary to Muslim women, an accountant, a social worker and a special education specialist.

As any mom knows, finding balance and focus during the early years as a mom is such a challenge. Over these first few weeks, we have had a chance to get to know each other, share our testimonies, pray for one another and begin reading Risen Motherhood together.

Please pray for these sweet young mothers: for wisdom, for energy, for patience, for creativity, for perseverance and also for a sweet spirit of community to continue growing among us. I don't know exactly what the Lord will do, but He has been showing up each week and I believe that He wants to do something special in us and through us to reach our community for Christ.

Closing a chapter - "graduating" another cohort of new staff

pictured above: front row - Donna, Jill, Lucía, Liz back row - Andrés, Dani, Jemima, Mateo, Laura, Israel, María, Penny 12 of us descended on Barcelona, gathering in a rented Air B-n-B apartment. It almost felt a little bit like the 12 disciples in the Upper Room. Many had come from very busy ministry schedules. Some flew in from other countries. Others were flying out to other countries after we finished.  These staff represent a variety of ministries:  GAiN , Athletes in Action , Operations and Human Resources , Family Life This group of new staff were wrapping up their two-year training period as New Staff with Ágape. Just as in the orientation, we looked together at 3 more of the 39 topics. We took time to be with the Lord. We reflected on what it means to be a servant leader, the role of coaching others and how to put to evangelize with our actions. Pictured below: María, Lucía and Laura spend time with the Lord before our first session. Pictured below: Andrés and Liz tak...

Meet the Monkey on Mondays!

Every week, heck, every day God is working in our lives....but how aware are we? How have you seen Him show up this week? One struggle in communicating regularly was related to the "slow" nature of ministry. Sometimes, it is hard to see what God is doing. One rationale that dominated  my thinking is that maybe it is that God is working much more slowly here, so rather share news each month, I may have to wait, 6, 9, 12 months to have a story to tell. However, as I make this shift to share a "blip" from each day, it has revolutionized the way I see God's work here, in my personal life and in ministry. A specific tool I am using to deliver my messages and stories to you across the ocean is MailChimp, an email marketing platform online; and, although I am sure that I am not getting nearly as much out of MailChimp as I could, but just the fact to be getting any news out at all is a big step for me. The MailChimp platform allows you to write back directly t...

Immigrant moms advancing together

An American, a Brazilian, a Spaniard and 9 Moroccan women walk into a neighborhood center....it sounds like the beginning of a joke, right? God has a great sense of humor! Let me tell you how this story works out.... My church in Spain has an amazing outreach ministry in a city neighborhood highly populated by Moroccan immigrants. While immigration has increased globally, Catalunya has one of the highest percentages of immigration world-wide.  This drastic and relatively rapid change is historic and also traumatic for a Spanish system that is not prepared to receive so many immigrants. We personally have seen the burdening effects of immigration in our schools, at our hospitals and in our neighborhoods.  Many of those who come from Morocco are the poorest of the poor. They arrive looking for work and a better life. They come without having learned the language. Many, especially the women, come as illiterates, even in their own language.  While this is a challenge for our ...
