ADVANCE CENTER

The Advance Center, Training and Resources is a new ministry/work center where we (the Philbricks) combine part time "tent making", where we have a job, and full time ministry. Opened officially in the fall of 2005, the Advance Center is a 1000 square foot store front with a lounge/reception area, a classroom, and a bit of office and storage space. It has been run and staffed only by our family, mainly Dave. This spring the Portugal family, new teammates, arrived with our mission to become a part of this. The center houses our English teaching (one of the main evangelism tools) and Ebenezer Editions, a small Christian publisher, and a valuable tool for outreach through evangelistic resources and events.

The Advance Center is a key tool in our purpose of establishing reproducing churches and training leaders through:

  • Offering English classes, which are in great demand and give many opportunities for witnessing
  • Providing a family friendly center with activities/resources for evangelism/Christian growth
  • Being a visible Christian presence in Sant Cugat
  • Providing a central place to better focus on our city
  • Offering work visas, since it's increasingly difficult to get into Europe with a missionary visa
  • Having the flexibility of adding any type of new activity

It also provides office space for Dave for studying, visits and counseling, a place for church fellowship activities, our cell group, and is a central place for our kids to meet friends, do homework and group projects, or just hang out.

NEEDS & OPPORTUNITIES

Right now we could use personnel in the following areas. These activities could be your way of fitting into the Sant Cugat society as part of the church planting effort:

  • English teachers: (teaching as second language-actual teaching degree not necessarily required);
  • Other language teachers
  • Translators
  • Professionals in publishing, editing, graphic arts design, advertising, web designing, accounting and administration

These activities could be part time, summer work, one or two year terms, or full time and long term.
