Edge – Your Cross-Cultural Moments
We think of Edge as being cross cultural in that Americans come to Europe, but often times, Edgies come from all corners of the world and sometimes Edge is right in their backyard. “Being a Spaniard myself, having grown up with parents that are missionaries and being this the fourth year I am part of […]
God in a Dry Land
Perhaps one of the most eye opening experiences for any believer or anyone seeking to know more about God, is learning about the spiritual journey of others. “The spiritual climate here in Spain is very dry.

Edge – Freedom to Use Your Gifts
One thing that Edge emphasizes is our individuality. Edgies learn to embrace the freedom they have in expressing their gifts, abilities, and spirituality. 2016 Edgies put their experiences into their own words what it is like to use their gifts, even while wrestling their the fears and doubts. “I have been continually interacting with God […]
Moments That Last
If you follow our blog or receive our emails or have heard about Edge Project, you know that it is a cross- cultural experience rooted in faith. The thing about spiritual experiences is, although they should make in us a deep impression, they are often fleeting. We get those moments of God, or some revelation or a […]
Experiencing God Through Each Other
Edge is a multifaceted program that is so individual that the experience cannot be defined in one way; it is uniquely inspiring to each participant. Stephanie shares a bit from one of her last journal entries about her Summer edge experience: “Through receiving the love of others, I got to see God. My Edge team […]
Living Outside Yourself
Stephanie – Living in Community. I’ve also learned to love others better by looking outward.

Consistently being around other people forced me to be more aware of their needs rather than my own. […]

Pushed to the Edge to Believe
Stephanie: While on our second prayer walk this week throughout Altea, we walked along the edge of the ocean …from quite a tall vantage point. Let me preface this by saying that I have a pretty extreme fear of heights. I hate rollercoasters, avoid hiking, and unlike most people I don’t desire to walk near […]
Pushed to the Edge to Grow
Stephanie: One thing that really captivated me about the Edge leaderhship was their desire to pull out and develop your artistic talents and passion. There is this beautiful aspect of individual development that comes along with Edge. I don’t know the story behind how the program became titled “Edge” but I assume it has to do with […]

Reentry and Anyone Feeling Lost?

Voices From the Edge – Stephanie Part 4
Unplugged and Natural Before I fly away from Altea, let me tell you more about a couple things that have changed in me since I’ve participated in Edge.
