Merry Christmas 2025 from DBF!

Dear Friends of the Dénia Bridges Foundation,

As we enter this Christmas season, we pause with deep gratitude for the faithfulness and generosity you have shown throughout 2025. This year is especially meaningful for us because it marks the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Dénia Bridges Foundation. For an entire decade, you have partnered with us to strengthen Christian education and youth development across the Iberian Peninsula. Looking back, we are humbled by God’s provision and by your steadfast support that has allowed this ministry to grow and bear fruit year after year.

Our 2025 Year-End Project

Renovating Seminary Student Apartments

As we look to the coming year, we invite you to join us in supporting an important and timely need. The student apartments at the Baptist Seminary in Madrid—Facultad de Teología - UEBE Alcobendas, home to those who are preparing for full-time Christian ministry—are in need of renovation.

Renovation Plans for Seminary Student Apartments

The renovation project is focused on improving the living conditions of the seminary's student apartments, which have become outdated after forty-six years of continuous use. The following updates are comprehensive and designed to address both functionality and comfort.

  • Replacement of doors and closets to ensure durability and provide better storage solutions.

  • Installation of new flooring throughout the apartments for a refreshed and modern look.

  • Upgrading the electrical systems in each apartment to meet current safety and efficiency standards.

  • Complete remodeling of the bathrooms to enhance hygiene and usability.

  • Installation of new kitchen tiles and cabinets for improved functionality and aesthetics.

  • General painting throughout the apartments to create a welcoming and clean environment.

Updating these living spaces will significantly improve the daily life, dignity, and well-being of students who have committed themselves to theological study and service. Our goal this Christmas season is to raise the $20,000 needed to renovate one apartment in 2026. Please click here for a detailed description of the project along with costs and more photos.

If God leads you to participate in this project, your end-of-year gift will help create a more welcoming, comfortable, and functional environment for the students who will shepherd future generations of believers. And please designate this as a gift for the seminary project if that’s your intention.

Thank You

During this season of celebrating Christ’s coming, we are reminded again of the light He brings into the world—and we are grateful that you help shine that light into the lives of so many. Thank you for walking with us, praying with us, and giving so generously over these ten remarkable years.

May the peace and joy of Christ be with you and your family this Christmas and in the New Year.

With gratitude,
The Denia Bridges Foundation Board
