Happy New Year's Eve!




In Spain one custom at Midnight on New Year's Eve is to eat one grape at each sounding of the clock at midnight. The stores even sell little cups that hold 12 grapes each. So tonight the Gryskiewicz family will be practicing a new, New Year's eve tradition. How about you? What do you do on New Years Eve?

And now for something completely different...

A few day's ago I sent out or E-newsletter. We had a lot of "bounce backs". If you haven't received our news letter or if your email address has changed please let us know and we'll update our distribution list. Many times we can not share on our blog or Facebook what the Lord is doing due to sensitivity issues, but since we have more control over who gets our news letters we have more freedom to share what the Lord is doing.

Be Blesses and have a great new year!

Welcome Ashley!




A few weeks ago the most awesome MA (Missionary Associate) arrived in Spain! Ashley is from our home church in Panama City, Florida. We've known her since she was in Middle School and have had the privileged of being her youth pastors. Now we have the privileged of working with her in Southern Europe.

Ashley's official title is "Missionary Associate to the Youth of Southern Europe". In that capacity she will be helping us to pastor our MK's in Southern Europe as well as helping us plan and take care of all out AIM teams that will be coming in. In addition Ashly will be active in Children ministries in Southern Europe and will be the Children's pastor at IC: Madrid.

Once again, welcome Ashley!
