L’Arcada Camps – Housekeeping & Maintenance (Miky and Yoli Garcia)

Our Story
Miky and Yoli came to know the Lord at a young age and for them, camps have been an important part of their lives throughout their youth. They have always been involved in youth ministries with their local church but felt God calling them to full time ministry with Camp L’Arcada.
Micki had his own carpentry business but decided to take a huge step of faith and sell the business to work for the camp full-time. Yoli left her position as a manager at a well-known craft store in Spain so they could dedicate all their time to ministry at L’Arcada.
Miki and Yoli are responsible for caring for the property, which is huge responsibility. He oversees the maintenance area of the camp where his many skills, especially carpentry, are put to good use. Yoli supervises the volunteers who clean the camp before and after groups come, does all the logistics for the crafts enjoyed by campers during the different camps, and serves as the camp’s cook when needed.
Anna (Director) says: “Miky and Yoli are a wonderful addition to the L’Arcada team Not only is their commitment to the Lord very evident, but their work is excellent. I consider them a vital and extremely important addition to the staff.”
Where We Work
L'Arcada Camps - Housekeeping & Maintenance
Miky and Yoli are serving at L'Arcada camp, which has a very effective evangelistic and discipleship program in Spain, a country where less thank 1% of the population are evangelical Christians. One camper asked, "what is a Bible?". This shows the need. Another camper said, "I came to know God at L’ Arcada"! One pastor wrote "I love L'Arcada. I do not know of any other ministry that reaches so many of the unreached. It also encourages and trains our young people to serve the Lord."
Over ten million Spaniards live in towns with no gospel witness. Of the 8124 towns in Spain, 92%, (that’s 7474 town), have no Evangelical church. Amongst the Spanish population the secular Catalan-speaking population is one of the most unreached, and this is where the camp is located, at the foot of the Pyrenees mountains. 9 out of 10 campers are hearing the gospel for the first time when they come to camp. Many come to know the Lord and then join discipleship groups to help them know the Lord better. They are encouraged to start attending a local church where many have become leaders. Most of these churches are church plants. Most Spaniards will not come to an evangelical church when invited but will come to camp!
