The East Texas Baptist University Men’s Soccer team departed Texas on Friday, March 10 for an eight day trip to Spain and Portugal. The trip is the 15th as a part of the Tiger Athletic Mission Experience (TAME) at ETBU.
The Tigers are partnering with the International Sports Federation (ISF) and will serve alongside the International Mission Board (IMB) missionaries in Madrid, Spain and will work directly with Cru in Lisbon, Portugal.
After an overnight flight, the team arrived in Madrid on Saturday afternoon and traveled via the metro to the hostel near downtown. After a short orientation with the IMB missionaries, the team had a quick dinner and headed back to the hostel for the evening.
On Sunday morning, the team split into two groups for worship. One group attended Nueva Esperanza Church and the second group went to Comunidad Moncloa, which are both church plants located in Madrid.
The group that attended the smaller church plant, Esperanza Church, enjoyed worship, which was lead by ETBU alum Lori Seagraves. The church also observed the Lord’s supper before the teams reunited for lunch at a local restaurant.
