Asturias

This week we focus our prayer for Spain's provinces on the province of Asturias, famous for being the only region of Spain to not be conquered by the Muslim invasion from 711-1492. As we reflect on Asturias’ historic reputation for resilience, we are reminded of Paul’s exhortation to the Philippian church to “stand firm in one spirit” (Philippians 1:27), even in a Roman colony where allegiance to Caesar was expected. In the same way, let us pray for believers in Asturias—that they would stand firm and resist the many forces that challenge their profession of faith in Christ.
