Spain: Reaching A Coruña This is an opportunity to help the OM team in the different activities they plan to have during those months including taking part in the Camino de Santiago outreach. Based in the city of A Coruña on the north west coast of Spain, you will be taking part in English conversation clubs and any workshops we might have during your time here. You will be attending a local Baptist church in Spanish. You will be involved with the church youth group and any other events the church might have during your time here. You will work alongside OM workers and participate in their team meetings. Expect to follow a weekly schedule of different ministry activities. In July you will be part of the “Way of St. James” (Camino de Santiago) outreach, a hike of around 120km where you will be sharing the gospel with pilgrims from all over the world. Please understand that while you are serving with us, you won't be able to travel around Spain so do not expect holidays. However, you will get one day off every week, where you can visit and do any sightseeing around the province of A Coruña. The budget doesn't include any extra money for sightseeing or any transportation outside of A Coruña city.
