About Us

Magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

Welcome to our website! We’re church planting missionaries pastoring a small church in the city of Rentería, on the outskirts of San Sebastian.

David was born into a missionary family in Spain. His family has been established in Spain since the 1960s. Both his parents, Andy and Mimi Bonikowsky, were also raised in Spain as missionaries. Andy’s parents, Al and Helga Bonikowsky, dedicated their service to the Basque region until 2014. Meanwhile, Mimi’s parents, Flay and Margaret Allen, founded Iglesia Bautista Emanuel in Elche. David continues this legacy of missionary work, deeply rooted in his family’s rich history and dedication to their faith.

Raquel’s parents are first-generation Christians who were saved in the Canary Islands. Raquel’s father Jose Antonio Rodriguez pastors Iglesia Bautista Emanuel in Gandía along side one of his sons. My wife grew up in a family where all 5 children were continually involved in church ministry. Her parents raised her to be a servant no matter where she was.
