Religion and the church
The number of evangelical Christians in Spain is very small (around 0.08% of the population). The church needs help, support and training in evangelism, leadership formation and discipleship. Often pastors work alone in small churches. They need encouragement and more people to help with simple outreach and witness and help with organizing activities. Thousands of Latin Americans have migrated to Spain, entering on ancestor visas, and a large percentage of evangelicals in Spain are from Latin America (often 80% in many churches).
