The family, who have been at Redcliffe College, Gloucester, for the last 12 months, have joined ECM and set out last week to help plant a church in Valencia.
They packed up home in Gloucester the day before and on Sunday their church in Abingdon prayed for them and commissioned them to their new ministry during the morning service at Christ Church on Long Furlong, and during the evening service at Northcourt Road.
On Sunday afternoon friends and supporters were invited to a farewell party at Thomas Reade School, Radley Road, Abingdon.
On the following Thursday the family drove overland to Spain taking the ferry to France stopping over at Orléans, Carcassonne, and then Onda in Spain where they were due to arrive yesterday.
This week they are staying in a friend's flat and looking at apartments and schools in Villarreal, the town where they will be living while they learn the language and acclimatize.
Andrea, pictured below, said in her latest prayer letter: “If you’re wondering how we’re feeling...we’re happy to be going, sad to be leaving, still have a lot to do, but have also done a lot, have a sense of adventure about driving out to Spain and a slight sense of pressure with the need to find somewhere to live and move in five days! All mixed together!”
Andy, pictured below, added: “We will let you know our new contact details from Spain when we have an address and internet access. Our email addresses will continue to work but we will only be able to check our email intermittently until we are settled.”
