Pray for the Basque Country
The Basque Country in northern Spain is known for its distinct language (Euskera), strong cultural identity, and green landscapes. Despite its beauty and innovation, it remains one of the most spiritually resistant regions in Spain. Church growth has been slow, especially among the indigenous Basque-speaking population. As of 2008, 41 municipalities over 5,000 people had no evangelical church. Yet faithful efforts continue, including Basque-language literature and ministries like Remar.
Key Prayer Points
The Basque Country is a place of deep roots and spiritual resistance. As you pray, focus on breakthrough among Basque speakers, healing from past conflict, and outreach to youth in urban centers. Let’s ask God to soften hearts and raise up a new generation of believers.
Breakthrough among Basque Speakers
Pray for the Gospel to penetrate the Basque-speaking community. Ask God to raise up local followers of Jesus who can share the message in their own language and culture.
Healing and Peace
After years of conflict, pray for healing of memories and true peace. Ask God to unite believers across political and ethnic lines as a testimony of reconciliation.
Youth and Urban Outreach
Cities like Bilbao and Donostia are secular and influential. Pray for creative outreach to students and young professionals, and for ministries that serve the marginalized.
