Galician Exploration Team
WHEN
Jun 1 2019 - Jul 1 2019
WHERE
ES
Team Size: 4 to 8 students
Gender: No preference
Description:
This team will be focusing on Galician speakers in Galicia in Northwest Spain. This is a very independent project. Those who require a great deal of direct supervision or instruction should not consider this assignment.
This Team is what we call an “Exploration” project. Exploration projects are designed to send teams into the homelands of indigenous, minority language people groups of Europe in areas where Linguæ Christi does not currently have ministry but desires to explore for future engagement. These teams will (1) chronicle and research, (2) network with local believers, particularly Galician speakers, (3) document (through video and photography), (4) engage people through spiritual conversation, and (5) prayerwalk and narrative map these areas. These teams cross streams with several areas of ministry focus: research, networking, media, missional, and prayer. Using these broad categories, the following are some aspects of the assignment:
Research
This exploration team will research and collect data both academically and anecdotally regarding (1) the language, (2) the people, who speak the language, (3) the area of the language group, (4) religious expression available in the language, and (5) narrative mapping of the area for the purposes of mission strategy development.
Networking
This exploration team will attempt to find Evangelical Churches and/or individual believers, who are Galician speakers as a primary concern. In addition, the team will try to network with Evangelical believers from Churches, which are primarily Spanish speaking, but who might be open to consider being a part of a specific ministry to plant Galician-speaking Evangelical Churches.
Media
This team will document everything they experience through audio-visual media (video, photo and audio recordings). The focus of the media documentation would be (1) the area of focus, (2) any opportunity to display the presence and use of the language, and (3) the people who speak the target minority language.
Prayer
This team will regularly engage in prayerwalking in the areas of exploration, specially praying for persons of peace, contact areas, and opportunities for ministry among the language group in question.
Missional Engagement
As the team learns, documents and prays for the minority people group in question, they will use these opportunities and new friendships with speakers for the sake of spiritual conversations and missional engagement.
LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS (before arrival on-field): English and at least Conversational Spanish
Gender: No preference
