Our project was to hold the 3rd annual English camp at Parque Este church, a strategic partner of Northpoint Church. The camp has been a huge success in the past and many local people will only allow their kids or themselves to go to the church during this week. There is a lot of negativity surrounding Christianity and evangelical churches are not very popular in Spain. The English camp brings in a lot of new faces including children and adults and several have started attending church as a result of this camp. The vision of the pastor is to see the people of Spain seeking a growing relationship w/ Christ.
