Centro Cristiano mission station, Almeria, Spain. Built in January 1971 by Chris & Christine brick by brick with no machinery whatsoever. They were the very first to take the Gospel to an entire region and shuttled Spanish peasants from tiny villages dotted all around this huge mountainous region to Centro Cristiano to hear the gospel for the very first time; and where they obtained a Bible of their own for the first time as Bibles were not permitted.
In 1999 Centro Cristiano then became Christian Centre and again became the first Gospel witness for the Lord in the English language. Their vision inspired others so much so that fellowships started springing up all over this spiritually barren region meeting the needs of many.
“There are several fellowships/churches here now that came out of the work of the Christian Centre as you were the first” Pastor D. Hamilton. AOG Missionary, Spain.
“You laid the foundation here, making things so much easier for us all” Church in Turre, Spain.
A few of the Romanian Christians who lived in the caravans at Christian Centre appealed for the homeless by Christine.
Centro Cristiano. Christian Centre.
Some of the caravans donated to house people in need.

The tree that saved the lives of the two German girls. However, the tree was much bigger then. The other half of the tree is a now a stump having to be sawn off & the tree drastically trimmed due to electrical wires (scroll to end for the amazing story of this tree!).
