The Covey’s serve the Eurasia area based from Malaga, Spain. 

Ellie grew up in Church of The Incarnation. Over many years Incarnation has played a significant role in the Lord’s movement in her life and helped her follow the Lord’s leading to where she finds herself today! Ellie helps facilitate and lead the Church of the Incarnation’s pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago. This is a trip and a path that is near to her ministry and her heart to walk alongside people’s journeys.

In her Wycliffe role, Ellie is the Orientation Coordinator for the Mediterranean region. This includes assisting new members in: language school, housing, cultural learning, and other parts of the “moving overseas” process. She mentors and provides care for the new members from support raising through the first year of their assignment. She also partners with Sentwell.org an organization dedicated to caring for workers throughout this region. Through Sentwell she provides Spiritual Direction, leads retreats and offers logistical support for short term intensive care.  

James grew up in the DFW area but he and Ellie met while serving in Kenya. He now serves as a Counselor for Wycliffe members and their families in the Eurasia region. He provides therapeutic counseling care to individuals, couples and families. This is through having people visit their location, video calls, and traveling to conferences, retreats or people in need. He also is the Staff Care coordinator leading a team of 10 in providing services, developing strategy and caring for those serving in Eurasia. He continues being involved in the Healing the Wounds of Trauma training, hosting a Podcast for cross Cultural workers and writing and speaking on issues related to mental health and the global Church. He also partners with Sentwell in Spain providing counseling, coaching and care for people with any organization whom are living in high risk places with low access to resources. 

The Church of the Incarnation has financially supported the Covey’s for several years. Another way our parish can support them is through prayer. Here are some specific prayers:

• They have challenges with their VISA and residency requirements in Spain, pray for their renewal in July and navigating additional requirements after.
• They minister to people who have experienced great traumas, pray for their own nourishment so they can serve from places of abundance.
• They are looking for a place to stay in Dallas for this coming December and January.
