Want to go to Spain?

We are launching a new summer experience called "Edge Mission." It is a short- term “Missionary Training Project” designed to give practical hands-on experience of how to live and share your faith to the nations through the arts. (this includes any artistic expression)

The focus is to Educate, Disciple, Give knowledge and Engage with insight for cross-cultural missions with the opportunity for potential missionaries to have hands-on training. This Mission is for Edgies and anyone who desires to impact the Altea community in a cross cultural missions setting. As a a cross-cultural worker you will: live abroad, raise support, and live out your faith in an organic daily experience. The mission is self-propelled and completely flexible to your passions and gifts. You create your own experience and discover how your particular interests and talents can further the gospel and bring God's kingdom here on earth.

We have had several writers and poets come participate in the summer Edge experience. They held writing workshops throughout the town in Spain, read poetry in our Art Nights in the Gallery, and wrote blogs and articles for us.

This year’s mission in Spain will be from June 10th - August 26th. There is no minimum commitment to the mission, so you can pass through and pay per day. However, we recommend staying as long as you are able to gain the richest experience possible. More information can be found on our website (www.edgeontheweb.org) or you can always email Colleen Van Houwe at colleen.vanhouwe@gmail.com.

Each experience will be tailored to your gifts, desires, and long-term goals in collaboration with the needs of the mission and it’s projects. The internship is three-fold: live your passion, be purposeful, and work practically. We want you to discover your passions and God-given giftings so that you can pursue them. Be purposeful in your goals and the Lord will direct your steps.

You will gain experience in everything from: event planning, organizing, volunteer coordinating, public and motivational speaking, mentoring, artistic growth, individual self-discovery, and cross-cultural ministry. Not to mention you will develop your communication, leadership, teamwork, and conflict resolution skills. You will learn to live organically, and be more flexible and patient.
