Church Planting Team
Arno & Ilona Bijl
Arno & Ilona BIJL moved to Alicante in November 2023. They have been married for over 30 years and have 4 grown-up children. When the children left home for studies and work, they decided to support a church plant in Alicante. Over the years they have lived in Luxemburg, Denmark, Cyprus and Switzerland. While living in Denmark, Arno served as an Elder in FIBC Denmark. They love to meet people from all over the world, each with their own story and are looking forward to getting to know you and your story too.
Matthias & Mira Heinrich
The Heinrichs followed God's calling and moved from Germany to Spain in June 2023 with their two children. As part of the IBC family and as members of IBC Bonn, they went to Alicante with the desire to plant an English-speaking church. While living in Germany, they led a LifeGroup for two years at IBC Bonn. Matthias works full-time in IT while Mira is involved in family management. They love serving God and the people around them, sharing the gospel and growing together in following Jesus.
