Entering our apartment building for the first time! Acknowledge him in all thy ways and he shall straight your path! Let me tell you something, it is so much better and fun to recognize God in every decision we make in our life! We are very imperfect people and taking advantage of this promise makes our lives much easier to live. When we let God be first in our lives then it’s better to live and understand life by faith.
On April 23, 2013 Lena, Esteban Gracia and I arrived to Barcelona Terminal 1. The reaction of the four of us was the same, clenched fist and arms up in the air! We walked out of the airplane with big smiles and breathing in the new air like if we had just won the World Cup for a moment we forgot that we had been up since 2 am.
A moment that it will be hard to forget was the one when the plane touched down on the runway and as we taxied in Esteban grabbed our hand and said “let’s pray”, we held hands together and Esteban prayed and thanked the Lord for his protection and care on the trip and asked the Lord to give us strength to be good witnesses to the people. A prayer from a 9 year old.
As we walked through the arrival doors Sergio and Nancy Martinez were waiting for us, at that moment many thoughts came through my mind but one was repeating again and again and it was a ‘thank you Lord’ So many things to thank the Lord for, so many miracles that He worked out. Many people around the world have been praying for that moment and you were part of it.
After fitting all 4 suitcases and the 6 of us in the car we drove to Sant Celoni our final destination. As we entered our new home we saw a beautiful arrangement from our new local Church in Sant Celoni, the ladies had cleaned the apartment and left a welcome note. It was beautiful. We are thankful to the Lord for our new Church family in Sant Celoni, Barcelona.

Word of Life Ukraine Staff farewell! The night before we departed from Ukraine the Word of Life Ukraine staff family made us a wonderful farewell meeting. They will always be part of our family and life.
 leaving the airplane! We had a wonderful trip from Kiev to Barcelona and then to our final destination Sant Celoni. The kids did great! |  We are finally in Barcelona! |
Bible Club - First Bible Club meeting: We had the privilege to have the visit of Joe Jordan and he shared the Word of God to the youth and gusts that came to the meeting. It was a great time of fellowship.
 Every last Sunday of the month, our local Church in Sant Celoni makes a field trip. This time we went to visit a sister Church in the Pyrenees mountains! It was a wonderful time of fellowship and a great opportunity to get to know more the people and the countryside. |  Fideuà, a typical dish of the area. The literal translation of the word Fideuà is: "large quantity of noodles" |
- On May 1st we went to an event where all the Evangelical Churches of Barcelona (Follow link to see more pictures) come together for a picnic and also the Gospel is preached. More then 3,000 people attended the event. After the Gospel message was preached it was amazing to see so many hands up showing that they had made a decision for Christ. I can only say one thing, The Gospel Work!
| Summer Camp Staff Meeting We had a wonderful time with the staff from Madrid planning and dreaming of what God is going to do this next summer camp season. We are expecting over 180 people in the first week of camp! this is going to be EPIC! |  Yes, we had very long hours of planning and planning, so the faces tell the truth! :) |
Settling In
 Grocery shopping, always a first! :) |  New friends! Estevao, Isabella and Noemi Martinez |  Going to School for the first time in Spain. What a special moment! it's going great so far, the kids have to learn Catalan, which is the language spoken in Barcelona |
| | For Mother's Day the Children's Sunday School Class prepared a few special songs for all the mothers. It was the first time that Esteban and Gracia attended the Church so they were exited. Esteban also read a short verse in Catalan and after he finished reading the whole Church started clapping and cheering, it was very emotional. |
Thank you for taking time to read this brief report and for your prayers!
Please pray for:
Lord Bless,
Juan Marcos, Lena, Esteban and Gracia Radziwiluk
