The International Field Office

In 2014, The Austin Stone established the Field Office in Barcelona, Spain, to support Austin Stone goers in their thriving and staying on task. The Austin Stone’s Field Office operates as an extension of the church’s elders for our goers. It provides care, coaching, crisis management, and church planting movement catalyzation.

Care

The Field Office, along with Care Coaches, provides regular care through events, phone calls, prayers, texts, emails, site visits, and engagement. It also conducts personal leadership reviews (PLR’s) with goers currently on the field. In addition, it provides goers with a four-story guest house in Barcelona, Spain, that they can use for times of rest, renewal, and encouragement.

Coaching

The Field Office provides coaching on topics including, but not limited to, spiritual disciplines, church planting, following the leading of the Holy Spirit, personal vision alignment and ministry trajectory, peacemaking, and self-care.

Crisis Management

In collaboration with sending agencies and crisis management teams, the Field Office manages crisis situations ranging from interpersonal conflict to violent incidents.

CPM Catalyzation

The Field Office team includes experienced practitioners in church planting among the unreached. This team resources, equips, networks, and provides ongoing coaching in church leadership and pioneering church planting movements to the global missions community.
