Location: Canary Islands - Spain

Description: Once a world leader in exploration and trade (think Christopher Columbus), Spain suffered in the 20th century — first through a bloody civil war and then under harsh dictator rule. The country modernized when it joined the European Union, causing some growing pangs. An economic recession put many people out of work, and unemployment continues to plague the younger generation today. People are disillusioned with organized religion and government, and many Spaniards put their faith in family and friends instead.

The cultural value on relationships makes a fertile ground for disciple-making. Join the Crossworld team on the Canary Islands and find your own network where you can live and love like Jesus in the local community.
