Adopt a 'Pueblo'

Adopt an unevangelised town in Spain!

While much of the Spanish population live in the larger towns and cities which currently have at least one evangelical church, almost a third of the 40 million have no ready access to the Gospel through the presence of a church. Some of these 13 million would have to drive (at 50mph) over an hour -even two- to reach their closest evangelical church.

Decision is a ministry which has over the past 25 years aimed to make known and work to fulfill the need to plant churches in the remaining towns and villages of Spain, so that everyone has easy access to the Gospel. In particular, they are concerned that every town with over 5,000 inhabitants should have a church within the coming years. 'Pueblo' is Spanish for town or village, but also for 'a people (group)'.

In the latest survey published by Decision (Jan 2008), the largest 'pueblo' in Spain with neither church, active work towards that end or even a handful of church members living in the municipality, is Mazarrón, with a population of 32.616 inhabitants (municipal roll, Jan 2007). A further seven pueblos have between 25,000 and 30,000: Torre Pacheco, also in Murcia, Leoia in the Basque Country, Crevillent, Oliva and Algemesí in Valencia and Níjar in Almería (Andalusia); and eight more pueblos of over 20,000 inhabitants are in the same situation.

N.B. The situation of Mazarrón refers to Spanish-speaking churches, since there is an English-speaking church and an English-speaking men's fellowship there: Men of Vision. More churches, of all flavours at: www.informernews.org/clubs.htm
Pray that the men of vison get the vision for their Spanish neighbours, even though many of the inhabitants are English-speaking!

What to do:

If you would like to adopt a town, we recommend you go straight to their regions map and find a town off the list. (You can also get to their lists from our regions pages, after getting some more regional information! However, some of the direct links from the p4s regions pages are faulty.) There are so many to choose from. Then send us a message to let us know which town you have chosen! In return, we will get information about the town and about any attempts being made to reach it.
