Eddie and Macarena Aldape | Albacete, Spain
Eddie and Macarena Aldape are Cooperative Baptist Fellowship field personnel ministering to immigrants and students in Albacete, Spain. After serving 13 years in India among the Banjara, the Aldapes arrived in Spain in December 2015 where they are launching Centro de Esperanza (The Hope Center) to assist immigrants through the registration processes language acquisition, culture simulation and directing them to local organizations that can meet their immediate needs.
Many immigrants arriving in Spain have left family behind and find themselves in a state of desperation, seeking to discover opportunities and secure a better life for their families. After facing many obstacles, these immigrants often find themselves alone and hopeless. Centro de Esperanza is a place where these newly-arrived immigrants can encounter the love of Christ and renew hope.
Students in Spain often have a gloomy future living in a country experiencing a severe financial crisis with an unemployment rate of 45 percent among undergraduates. Many students in Spain are also disillusioned in matters of faith. The Aldapes teach English as a Second Language classes, which provides opportunities to share faith, offer encouragement and provide support to these students.
