Easter Outreach

Easter in Spain

Holy Week is a major religious festival in Spain, particularly in the southern region of Andalucía. Floats with scenes from the passion of Christ and other bearing local 'virgins' (statues, which are the object of worship), are processed each night round the city, while the young people take the opportunity to get out again after the long nights of winter.

With the streets crowded with people, most actually only partly interested in the religious nature of the event, it is nevertheless, an opportunity to talk religious themes to people open to be presented with a new way of looking at Christ.

Baeza 2005

A 'Cristo', from the Baeza catalogue cover

We were invited to take a small team this year to reach out to the city of Baeza, in the province of Jaen (Andalusia). In addition to this city, we also shared the Gospel through preaching and literature distribution in Jódar and Villargordo. We appreciate your prayer support for the results!

2009 and future

No outreach was planned for 2009, due to the multiplicity of Missions events. At the time of writing, there are no definite plans for the future.
