Spain

The Vineyard Metrowest is part of the International Association of Missions (IAM). IAM is a partnership of New England and Spanish churches that labor together to do what no one church could do alone. The partnership is committed to planting Vineyard churches and developing a church planting movement in Spain, and raising-up national leaders to help the movement to flourish.

The Spain partnership began with a vision to see a group of local churches partnering together to plant churches in Spain. In 1991, Vineyard pastors from New England began to pray to this end, and, in 1992, they took their first ministry trip to Spain. Now, more than a decade later, we continue to co-labor together. May the Lord answer our cry for an authentic in-breaking of the kingdom of God in Spain!

Agape's Newsletter Love In Action

Lynne's personal publication The Orphan

Both the Hyderabad Orphanage and AGAPE INTL. are ministries of love and compassion, sharing faith and the gospel through actions and deeds.

The First Orphanage

After answering the Lord's call to full time Missionary work in India, Lynne began with a vision for an orphanage/hostel in the city of Vijayawada working with her sponsor organization JVMI [Jewish Voice Ministries International]. After laboring faithfully and extensively, the Vijayawada Orphanage began to flourish with life as precious children began growing together as a family with the workers. As the vision grew, many joined to support Lynne in her labor of love to India, both prayerfully and financially.

Growth

This first ministry season served as a springboard. The Lord soon opened another door of opportunity for Lynne, and she moved to the bustling capital city of Hyderabad. There she is laboring to open a second orphanage/hostel. She obtained a newly constructed building in the outskirts of the city that will house approximately a hundred children. By the grace of God, the orphanage is also within a ten minute walking distance of both a government primary school and high school for the children.

In addition to this second orphanage/hostel, the Lord also placed a vision for a "Hospital on Wheels" in her heart. This non-profit facet of the ministry will be called AGAPE INTL. and will have a U.S. based office that will carry out administrative functions to support the "Hospital on Wheels." The U.S. office will help facilitate foreign contributions for Lynne in India and generate tax-deductible receipts for the significant funding required to operate such a ministry, along with other administrative duties. The AGAPE INTL. van, will go to HIV and AIDS patients in rural villages that do not have access to any medical treatment or HIV/AIDS education. The van will be inclusive of people with other medical needs as well, but this will be its primary focus. This ministry will work as a natural feeder system for the new orphanage/hostel that will be geared towards children with AIDS, those children whose parents have AIDS and are no longer able to care for them, or those who have been orphaned.
