31. A couple of months ago we started selling our stuff and taking the necessary steps of faith toward our moving to Europe.
32. This first stage contemplates to flight to Rome to do some migratory paperwork for Marcela (we are hoping they take only a couple of weeks) and then travel to London, where the Hispanic Church ICIMA is waiting for us with temporary shelter and willing to help us during the first steps of adaptation and establishment.
33.
34. From London and pointing to all Europe, make an accurate directory of the Christian Churches that are functioning.
35. Start a plan to visit and contact the most possible number of churches to survey and interview their leadership, in order to document their experience and challenges.

We are accepting any one time donation to finance our trip, with no minimum or maximum. Do not wait for others to give. Every dollar counts, and nothing is too little or… too much.
