Pioneer church plant among Spaniards and migrants.

Roquetas de Mar is part of the ‘Plastic Sea,’ a huge extension of intensive agriculture so big you can see it from space. The town's population has almost quadrupled in size since 1990 to more than 100 000. A third of the town’s population are immigrants, from Romania and from North and West Africa, mostly from a Muslim majority background. They’ve come for work and for opportunity, but many find themselves exploited, impoverished and trapped. There are few churches in the area, many of which are focussed on one language or ethnic group.

We long to see a local church in Roquetas de Mar that  ‘shines light into the darkness’ 2 Corinthians 4:6-style, so we are forming a team to live as vibrant disciples. We want to see a church planted that reflects the diversity of the town and the unity found in the gospel and want to reach those in need and in the margins, loving them with Christ’s love. We want to shine God’s light into the darkness.

We are spending time praying and learning about the area and the people, what God is doing and what He might have for us to do. We’ll be exploring strategic ways to get involved in the local community and opportunities to start new ministry initiatives. 

Come and join us to spend time walking through Roquetas de Mar and praying, to make friends in the community,  to take Spanish classes, be part of a bible study, run kids' clubs and lay the groundwork for future ministry.
