Would even St. Paul be received today?

How sad. Spain is one of only three modern-day European countries mentioned in New Testament of the Bible, yet today biblical literacy in Spain is nil. Today's average Spaniard could not even find the reference... even if they could find a Bible. The apostle Paul told the Corinthians of his great desire to visit Spain. Did he make it? We don't know. The secular mindset is spreading across Europe and Spain wants to be at the forefront of receiving it. If St. Paul would to show up today in the Port of Malaga, would anybody even care?

Oh, that we would send Godly men and women into this beautiful land of Spain to love the people, demonstrate and practice God's love and mercy, and share His love with them.

Yes, there are some there now. We have good friends doing just that in Malaga, in Seville, in Torremolinos and Marbella, Madrid, Barcelona, and Bilbao. Missionaries and pastors who have given part of their lives to share that love. Thank You! We'll be back to join you soon! Keep up the good work! But there is so much need for more full-time workers.

For now, we're drumming up more support and interest in the wonderful land of Spain and their Spiritual poverty. Can't wait to get back to the paella and tapas!
