Missionary

The Roman Catholic church has lost much of its historical influence. Because of the link with the Franco-regime, along with some other things, the church has lost much of its credibility, even among Catholics.

In the vacuum left by the church have emerged atheism, materialism, occultism and many other ideologies among the Spaniards. A strong evangelical testimony is much needed.

ECM longs for the different church planting projects to bear fruit and that the strength of the Gospel will be seen and heard more and more in Spanish society.

Facts

Economy
The world's mightiest economic power in the 16th Century, followed by three centuries of decline and economic stagnation until entry into the EU in 1986. This helped transform the country into a modern economic power with rapidly rising living standards. Main sources of income are tourism, industry and agriculture. The recession, which began in 2008, and bursting of the housing bubble slowed economic growth significantly. One of Europe's higher unemployment rates.
