Dear DBF Family:
I would like to begin our summer newsletter with something very special that one of our board members, JuneAn Lanigan, wrote about her and her husband Kevin’s recent trip to Dénia:
"On this trip we were able to spend time with Eunice over dinner and she gave us a guided walking tour of the town (thank you!). We enjoyed a leisurely morning with Jorge in the Prayer Garden hearing his story; the witness of God’s providence bestowed on generations before him. Dénia, with Alfa & Omega at the core, became magical. Warm greetings from teachers and staff, eager smiles from children small and big, and conversations with future exchange students touched our hearts. God has truly blessed this place and all who are part of it. Even through Covid, and its devastating impact on education globally, Alfa & Omega thrived. God encouraged Eunice and the staff when times seemed unbearable and protected the children who found safety and consistency in a time of confusion and turmoil. It is hard to express the joy and love we experienced on our trip."
Thank you JuneAn. I feel this truly expresses the joy that we all feel when we experience God's light that for some reason just seems to burn a bit brighter on the Costa Blanca. On our website you can read Eunice's annual End of School review and other stories that highlight the ways in which God has blessed the Alfa community during the past school year.
With that we have just one ask for you. We are helping Eunice raise €3,000 to rent a bus to take a group of A&O secondary students to see the Australian evangelist and motivational speaker, Nick Vujicic in Madrid. Born without arms and legs, Nick will be in Spain at the end of September sharing his own story of being bullied as a child and how he was able to overcome the trials with his faith in Jesus Christ. Nick will present very compelling evidence to teenagers that "You can overcome any form of bullying with God!" Please consider making a special mid year donation to help support this unbudgeted expense. You can donate via the DBF website here!
May His grace, peace and blessings be in your path this summer,
