Part of the plan is to connect the “well” in Colorado with the “well” in Spain in a unique way. We will have American students traveling to Málaga to serve there for a period of time and perhaps to earn study-abroad credits from our local university. Similarly, we will bring Spanish students to Grand Junction to work alongside our local baristas while living with Christian families in our community.
Foreign travel has a unique way of stretching narrow perspectives and shattering the “mind shackles” which tend to grow around young brains which are isolated in one culture – especially a culture such as ours which tends to be inwardly focused.
It is our hope that an exchange of students will enrich both American and Spanish students as they serve in each other’s countries and begin to build lives that will for ever be focused outward.
