BARCELONA, SPAIN

Set between the mountains and ocean in the Catalonia region of northeastern Spain, Barcelona is a cosmopolitan city of incredible beauty and tragic emptiness. Its art, architecture, and cultural riches are world-renowned, yet it is also known as the “porn capital of Europe,” and by some accounts is the most secular city in all of Western Europe, with less than 0.5% of the entire population claiming to be evangelical Christians.

In this urban paradox of beauty and darkness, MTW missionaries are working with a Spanish-led church called Església Ciutat Nova in the heart of Barcelona, and also collaborating with a network of other Catalan pastors around the city. They are discipling, serving, and equipping others with the gospel, working to advance the kingdom and bring revival to Spain through building relationships and ministering in grace.
