For two weeks Edge had the pleasure of hosting a group of artists from California, called Ex Creatis. They blessed us with their presence and encouragement and we were able to bless them in preperation for the next part of their journey: Germany. All of our lives were changed in those two weeks and God […]

Another Week, Another Chapter: Reflection on Week 3 of EDGE Project 2015
July is the most lively time of the year in Altea. Each night, the shops and restaurants are filled to the brim with people from Spain, Britain, Germany, Norway, and beyond. World-class balloon makers and local musicians make their presence most known during this season, capitalizing off of the energy and euros of the crowd. […]
Un Vestido Blanco (A White Dress)
It was only three days into our time with Edge, when we were able to experience our first market day. Every Tuesday, a full street is shut down and lined with booths containing fresh flowers, colorful fruits and vegetables, and other produce. It is a wonderful opportunity to practice our Spanish and have conversations with […]
A Patchwork of People, A Mosaic of Moments: A Reflection on Week 2 of EDGE Project 2015
As I sit down to write at a café, drinking a house blend tea at the hottest time of the day—at this point very used to living in my own sweat—I realize that I have almost forgotten what it was like to arrive here for the first time. Two weeks in and we have settled […]
The Colors of Altea
Blue and white are the colors of Altea. Whether it be the church, the buildings, or the bright blue door we pass going up the many stairs we walk, our eyes are constantly taking these colors in. Blue and white are also the colors of the sea and the foam that dances on top. At […]
Our Love Affair With Tragedy
Reflection on Week 1 of EDGE Project 2015 by Tober Corrigan One week into Edge project and our time here has been dominated by stories. We’ve been asked to share how we got to Altea, how we became Christians, how our parents met, and even about those generations so far back we could have only […]
Meet Cari, EDGE’s Director
Cari Jenkins joined the EDGE staff in 2013 and has since become the program director. From her bio alone, the fact that she is a perfect match for EDGE is indisputable, “I am a daughter. A friend. I’m a lover of the table, know the impact a good story and the power of blessing others. […]
Meet the Edge Staff – Part 2, Justin
Justin Gerry, Edge’s Spiritual Care Pastoral Director, is no stranger to foreign missions, the combining of art and culture with faith. Having been associated with the Caliguiri family and Edge for years, Justin has had the joy of watching the program progress from an idea to a reality. “I was invited to guest speak […]
Meet Our Staff – Stephanie Gant
Here are some of the parts God has appointed for the church: first are apostles, second are prophets, third are teachers, then those who do miracles, those who have the gift of healing, those who can help others, those who have the gift of leadership, those who speak in unknown languages. 1Corinthians 12:28 The […]
7 – The Number of Completion
The number 7 is linked to many things in the Bible – many good things. It is most often referred to as the number of completion, due mostly to the idea that God created the world in 7 days. There are whole studies dealing with the symbolism associated with the number, but I want to focus on […]
3 More Edgies’ Reflections
Continuing our first-hand look into the experiences of Edgies from Summer Edge 2014, we take a look at three more people whose lives were touched and eyes opened in very different ways. Katherine focuses on people, but more specifically, compassion, both in her approach to those God put in her path and God’s compassion towards […]
God At Work in Spain
Having been all over Europe as a missionary for the last 25+ years, it’s been interesting to see how people respond to God and the Gospel. While Europe is truly a small part of the globe, each country within the continent is very ,very diverse with varying histories. When the Iron Curtain fell in 1989, […]

A message from Arianna I thought you might want to hear one of the sessions I taught at Biola University this year. Hope you are blessed. It was a honor to speak at Biola Chapel this year and the responses that have come from this message continue to humble me and show the faithfulness of God through His work […]
Creativity, God and Edge
Why Edge Project? In the traditional evangelical churches around the country, the combining of faith and creativity is an oxymoron = two things that don’t go together. What does creativity have to do with faith? How is God glorified in our creativity? How do people see Jesus or the Gospel through our creative expressions? […]
