Spain: joyful church growth in Salou
On June 22, over 300 people met to praise God for 36 years of gospel witness and gospel progress in the Spanish seaside tourist town of Salou, south-west of Barcelona.
Thirty-six years ago, an English missionary and his Spanish wife began to pastor a small group of believers in a town of 2,000 inhabitants on the north east coast of Spain. Little by little the town (and the church) began to grow and the fellowship decided that the best thing would be to buy the small hall (which was a disused garage, under a block of flats) as a permanent home. This seemed to be confirmed when the church was given a piece of saleable land on the outside of the town.
