The "Aierdi Miracle" is what we call the wonderful story of God’s providence through which He gave us the rustic old Aierdi farmhouse in the Basque region of northern Spain. It all began when in 1998 the Lord led us into a prayer project called “Count the Stars”, based on the promise He gave to Abraham in Genesis 15:5. Today we are in the faith-challenging adventure of rebuilding the centuries-old farmhouse and adapting it for all kinds of ministries. With the help of many churches and friends, it is slowly being transformed into a retreat & conference. Although far from finished, we already use it to host church activities, youth programs, intensive institutes, retreats, and mission teams throughout the year. As we look back and remember the many months of prayer and waiting, with nothing to stand on but the promise of God and the stars to remind us of His faithfulness, we praise and worship Him for His wisdom. Glory to God! The stars still shine as sparkling witnesses of His infinite faithfulness and power. Andy Bonikowsky Genesis 15:5
The year was 2000 and this was the Aierdi farmhouse. In 24 years much has changed. We had no idea what God would do. He has exceeded our wildest dreams and proved Himself to be more than we could ever have imagined.
