Sam & Gladys Estera

The entire Estera family has been actively serving God in the Vidapasionada church in Madrid, Spain. Jonathan, the eldest of their four children, is the church’s sound systems operator. The other three children, Joshua, Joseph, and John, are part of the music team as guitarist, beatbox player, and worship leader, respectively. Furthermore, Joseph is also a campus ministry leader.

Sam and Gladys initially volunteered as LifeGroup leaders and are now the pastors of the Vidapasionada Church's Filipino congregation.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, they provided care, counseling, and prayer for LifeGroup members. They started picnics after an ease in pandemic restrictions and experienced rapid growth, leading to the decision to become pastors.

On September 19, 2021, the Madrid-Vidapasionada Filipino Taglish Church was officially recognized. Sam and Gladys are actively working to inspire the 16,000 Filipinos living in Madrid, Spain to know Jesus Christ.
