Ministry among Muslims in Spain
Can you speak Spanish or Arabic? Do you have a heart or burden for Muslims to be introduced to Christ?
Islam is Spain’s fastest growing religion. Spain is home to over 2 million Muslims with thousands of mosques. Many of the parts where Muslims live have no Protestant Christian residents or churches.
Join a small, newly formed team in Southern Spain who are befriending their Muslim neighbours, and looking for ways to serve them practically, socially and spiritually. Would you pray and ask God about joining us?
Qualities & Gifts Sought
You are a Bible college graduate speaking Spanish and English. Knowing some standard Arabic would be an advantage. You like to serve in a team.
