Spain: new roof for spiritual retreat

Miranda and Tim Heathcote celebrate the success of a fundraising event that took place at the end of April, raising funds that will go directly towards building a roof over the outdoor meeting and reflection space at their spiritual retreat in Spain. The lack of a roof severely limits the use of this space. Please pray for the remaining funds to be raised in order to complete this project.

Spain/North Africa: Debriefing

“Please pray for A and M* as they process the gifts and losses of their last season of ministry,” write mission partners Miranda and Tim Heathcote. A and M are just two of the many mission workers from different organisations working across the Middle East and North Africa who Miranda and Tim support through debriefing, spiritual direction, retreats and leadership development. As this debrief will take place online, pray for strong internet connections and for technology to be a help rather than a hindrance.

Spain: impactful internship

Miranda and Tim Heathcote, mission partners based in Spain and the UK, support mission workers in the Middle East and North Africa through leadership development, debriefing, spiritual direction and retreats. They recently hosted a team of university students from the US at Place of Springs, their home and ministry house in Spain. During their three-week internship with Miranda and Tim, the students accomplished a lot, including some short videos, promotional brochures and postcards, a revamp of the Place of Springs website and more. Give thanks for this blessing and pray that the work they accomplished will be fruitful in fostering connection for Miranda and Tim with potential partners in the expansion they envision for Place of Springs. Pray, too, that the trip will plant seeds for a missional perspective in the lives of the students.
