Elim Costa Brava is an oasis in the chaos of today’s society where people can come to receive Gods blessings.
It is pastored by Gabriel and his wife Noemi and is a Spanish speaking church located in Castillo de Aro in the province of Girona.
Gabriel is an Elim España ordained minister and serves on the National Leadership Team as Treasurer of the Elim movement in Spain with churches in Andalucía and Cataluña with the vision of making disciples of all nationalities and planting churches in every province of Spain.
Many of those who come to Elim Costa Brava were practicing Christians in their own country of origin but for others it is their first contact with the living God.
They have various mid-week meetings including men’s and women’s groups, home groups, married couples’ groups, alpha courses, foundational faith courses, children, and youth work…etc.
Once a month they enjoy a time of congregational prayer with intercession and fasting.
After outgrowing their previous church building, they moved into a much larger building where God has blessed them with a space where they can continue to grow. They were able to install kitchen facilities and prepare the main auditorium in time to host the Elim España Annual conference 2022.

There is still some work left to finish equipping the building including changing the installation of the air conditioning unit and separating a bigger area into smaller rooms to be able to expand the children’s ministry, amongst others. But they are seeing God’s provision and have been blessed in being able to acquire another 9-seater van to be used in transporting people to and from the church.
This year they are growing their evangelism with workshops and prayer walks.
Their children and youth ministries are growing, and they are looking to start a summer camp.
They are currently planting a work in Olot, a village just over an hour away where Gabriel and Noemy pastor a smaller congregation and are waiting on Gods timing to have the finances available to establish a church building there.
A short-term mission trip could entail:
- Evangelism and prayer walking
- Construction work in the church
- Taking meetings
- Ministering to the youth.
The cost of flights and accommodation varies according to the time of year and tends to be more expensive at popular holiday times
