Samua Calderon has been invited as a keynote speaker for Spain’s 50th Music and Worship Week (August 8-18, 2025). His goal is equipping worship leaders to bridge cultural divisions and foster unity through transcultural worship. Your prayers and financial support ($3,000 airfare and layovers cost) are essential for making this impactful ministry possible. Can you consider praying and joining Samua as he serves brothers and sisters from "la familia de la fe" in Spain?

Mis hermanos y hermanas,

Grace and peace to you in Christ!

I’m writing today with gratitude, excitement, and a humble heart to share about an extraordinary opportunity I've received to serve and minister internationally this coming August. The Evangelical Baptist Union of Spain (UEBE) has graciously invited me to serve as a keynote speaker at their 50th annual Semana de Música y Adoración (Music and Worship Week), from August 9-17, 2025, in Dénia, Alicante, Spain.

This event is particularly special—not only because of its legacy of equipping worship leaders for half a century—but because it embodies a beautiful vision: cultivating unity, spiritual growth, and genuine worship among nearly 100 worship leaders from evangelical churches across Spain. The conference theme this year is profoundly meaningful: “Always Faithful” (Isaiah 25:1), a timely reminder of God’s unwavering commitment to His people through every season.

My role at this conference involves daily keynote messages, pastoral engagement, mentorship, and leadership training, all focused on helping worship leaders build bridges across cultures. Spain, as you may know, has become a significant destination for Latin American immigrants who face both opportunities and challenges. My burden and passion for this trip is to serve as an instrument of reconciliation, helping worship leaders navigate socio-cultural tensions and embrace truly transcultural worship that celebrates diversity while upholding unity in Christ.

This passion stems from my five years of pastoral ministry at Grace Bible Church—Midtown Campus in College Station, TX. Our campus uniquely serves a bilingual, multiethnic, and multigenerational community near Texas A&M University, and I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of a gospel-centered, cross-cultural community. My prayer is that God will use this experience to impact worship leaders in Spain, helping them embrace and replicate this same vision in their local congregations.

The UEBE will generously cover my accommodation and meals during my stay, but they are unable to support the significant cost of airfare and necessary travel expenses, estimated at around $3,000 USD. Therefore, I'm reaching out today to invite you to partner with me in this Kingdom opportunity through:

• Financial Support: Your generosity will directly help cover the airfare, including required layovers, ensuring that logistical needs do not limit this important ministry opportunity.

• Prayerful Support: Please join me in praying for spiritual breakthroughs during this event, unity among worship leaders, and lasting transformation in the Spanish evangelical community.

• Spiritual Encouragement: Your spiritual backing and encouragement are invaluable. I deeply cherish your support as co-laborers in Christ.

The dates of my travel are August 8 to 18, including days for travel to and from Spain.

Would you prayerfully consider supporting this ministry opportunity financially and spiritually? Any amount you feel led to contribute is a meaningful investment in God’s global church. Contributions can be made directly to this GoFundMe, or via Venmo to: @Worship-TheCalderons, "Spain Worship Conference 2025."

I’d love to discuss this further with you and answer any questions. Feel free to reach out to me directly.

Thank you immensely for considering this partnership. Together, let's be part of God's beautiful work in bringing nations together for His glory!

In His faithful service,

Samua Calderon
