  Missionary to Spain, Madrid

Missionary to Spain

More than one Christian missionary to Spain has a blog - what better way to get to know them? Blogging is becoming more and more common in Europe, and each missionary to Spain has unique insight into what the country and culture is like, and what it's like to serve God there.

You're about to meet several missionaries in Spain, mostly around the urban area of Madrid, a city expanse with around 6 million people (though only a little over half that number are in the city proper). But first, let's get to know the country a little.

A little about Spain

The Kingdom of Spain (Reino de Espaņa) is a European country with a rich history centuries old.  Today, Spain is a modern country with a large amount of income from industry and tourism.  Over 44 million people live in Spain, and most would consider themselves Roman Catholics.  However, some polls suggest that less than 20% ever even attend mass.  There are small but significant numbers of Jehovah's Witnesses, Evangelicals, Mormons, and Muslims.  Others hold to various religions, though a large number would say they don't even believe in God.

Missionary to Spain Blogs

Bullfight in Madrid Let's start with someone dedicated to seeing children reached for Christ - David Pritchard. Blogging since mid-2004, David is a coordinator of children's ministries. He trains others so that they have effective and unique tools to share with children about God. His blog is rich in photos of what's going on in the ministry.

Check it out - our first missionary to Spain, David Pritchard. You can access the blog's news feed at davidpritchard.blogspot.com/atom.xml

And now for a missionary to Spain who was even earlier out of the blogging gate. Kelly Willis started blogging in 2003, and now we enjoy two of her blogs from Spain. Her general newsletters and updates are all collected at The Happenings in Madrid (news feed: kellyinmadrid.blogspot.com/atom.xml). If you're looking for something a bit more reflective, check out The External Processor (news feed: rss.mac.com/kellyinmadrid/iWeb/Kelly%27s%20Life/Blog/rss.xml). She's been involved in church planting in Madrid since January, 2004.

How about a blogging missionary family? Check out the Madrid Cadys, who have a family blog as well as his and hers blogs. Her blog is called Simplicity. Reflection, poetry, stories, pictures - lots of great thoughts from Madrid. His blog is called t(r)oymarbles. Much of the same, from the man's point of view - from the sublime to the ridiculous. :)
