About Us the executive team
Dan and Lluis know each other since they were kids in Barcelona. After years of training and work in separate continents, the Lord brought them together again. They helped the local church where they grew up to solidify their vision as they were starting one of the most audacious church building projects in Spain. They discovered they had complementary gifts and experiences and this was the beginning of a lifetime of business and ministry adventures. Together they launched successful evangelistic programs, relaunched Dan’s language business, planted a church and created a number or online software and businesses solutions.
