Franco-era church plant finally flourishing

A tiny historic Presbyterian church in Spain, which began whilst Fascist dictator General Francisco Franco ruled the country, is at last bearing much fruit for the gospel and is rapidly increasing in numbers.

The church, Iglesia Cristiana Reformada (Christian Reformed Church) de Madrid, which is part of the Egglesia Reformada group and a member of the European Missionary Fellowship, was founded by Jose de Segovia in the early 1970s.

The church, first located in the centre of Madrid, began by preaching the gospel to young people who were coming to live in the area. Jose also ran the first evangelical bookshop in Spain, which was hidden in an office building in the Main Street of Madrid, now renamed Gran Vía.
