Journey Overview
Southern Europe, especially Spain, is one of the most interesting places in the world in terms of cultural diversity. A region where two continents practically touch each other, where two religious cultures converge, and where the need to share the gospel and make more disciples of Christ is imperative, makes it an ideal field for formation and service among the least-reached.
The Campo de Gibraltar, where Algeciras is the most populous city and its port is one of the most important in Spain and the Mediterranean, is home of more than 100 nationalities, with a strong Catholic tradition and a growing Muslim population.
Ceuta is a Spanish enclave in Africa, north of Morocco, a strategic location for ministering to the least-reached in a Muslim context.
The Canary Islands, the Spanish archipelago is a place where many people come for a relaxing vacation, but it is also home to a young and growing evangelical church that could benefit from the presence of diligent workers preaching the gospel This is a two-month multicultural experience where you will receive practical tools to share the gospel while deepening your relationship with God. You will put your skills to work in ministries with Spaniards, Arabs, and immigrants from different nations in one of the most diverse regions in the world.
We aim to empower and inspire participants to be part of God's mission in an intercultural context.
The cost includes internal transportation in the cities where the outreach will take place, meals, and accommodation. Furthermore, the monthly budget includes transportation, accommodation and food during the practical trips to Ceuta and Canary Islands. The training will be in Spanish with the option of English translation.
The total cost can be divided into two payments of 900 EUR per month. Price excludes flights, transport between the airport and outreach location, insurance and any necessary vaccinations or DBS. Price is subject to change according to the exchange rate.
