Spain Church Unites with The Wesleyan Church

With nearly 100 people attending, a congregation was received into The Wesleyan Church in Elche, Spain, on Sunday, November 12. The pastor, Daniel Ortega from Argentina, began the congregation about five years ago. Rev. Juan Morillo of Colombia, serving as the Executive Director of JIBACAM, and Dr. Luis Azofeifa of Costa Rica, serving as President of JIBACAM, along with Rick West, Area Director for Latin America, all participated in a special ceremony officially receiving the first Wesleyan congregation of Spain to The Wesleyan Church. The congregation in the city of Elche started a daughter church five weeks ago in a nearby city, and Sunday night a second daughter church was begun in the city of Alicante.
