Saul Family Picture

Royden & Danielle Saul

Valcarcel

Martin & Linda Valcarcel

Linda and Martín Valcarcel transitioned to stateside church planting in 2013 after serving the Lord for many years in Spain. They currently minister to Hispanics in Decatur, Alabama.

The Valcarcels arrived in Barcelona, Spain, in 1974. They immediately began the work of evangelizing those around them and founded Hebron Valley Bible church. Martín also played an important role in starting two other daughter churches in the Barcelona area and a youth camp—Camp Ebenezer.

In 2012, God burdened Martín and Linda to leave their ministry in Spain, to begin a ministry to Hispanics in Decatur, Alabama—where Martín himself had been saved many years earlier as a Spanish-speaking immigrant. In addition to the Hispanic ministry, Martín has a weekly Bible study at a local jail, and Linda leads ladies’ Bible studies. They also maintain active relationships with church members back in Spain, where the work of spreading the Gospel continues under their son’s leadership.

Minnick Family 2020

David & Naomi Minnick

David and Naomi Minnick were brought together in marriage in 2010, and the Lord has since blessed them with five children: Caleb, Ethan, Eliana, Titus, and Hudson. They desire to advance God's kingdom in Australia through church planting and training the next generation of Australian leaders for the work of the ministry.
