Madrid: A Mission Field and a Mission Force

Madrid's suburbs and new developments are home to tens of thousands of people living in areas with little church witness. Among them are immigrant communities—Chinese, North African, and many others—often gathered in close-knit neighborhoods, waiting for someone to bring them the gospel in a language and culture they understand.Let us pray for churches within these immigrant communities to flourish and reach their own people. Let us pray too for the many denominations and parachurch ministries at work across Madrid—that they would walk in unity and strategic cooperation, avoiding duplication and instead complementing one another's work for the sake of the Kingdom.Lord, You spoke these words long ago about Corinth, but we believe them for Madrid: You have many people in this city—both those who already follow You and those not yet found. Encourage us to keep sowing the gospel in this great city, trusting that You are at work in the hearts of many Madrileños. May Madrid become not only a mission field, but a mission force sending laborers to the rest of Spain.
