Pray for the Canary Islands

The Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago off the coast of Africa, are known for their “eternal spring” climate and stunning volcanic landscapes. Spiritually, the Canaries have one of the strongest evangelical presences in Spain by percentage. Yet 28 towns over 5,000 people still lack a church, and smaller islands remain underserved. The region also faces challenges like immigration, water scarcity, and economic disparity — all of which present opportunities for the Gospel.

Key Prayer Points

The Canary Islands are a place of growth and great need. As you pray, focus on the expansion of the church, outreach to migrants and remote communities, and the next generation of leaders. Let’s ask God to pour out His Spirit across every island.

Praise for Growth and Youth

Give thanks for the vibrant youth groups and growing churches. Pray that this momentum continues and spreads to every island, raising up new leaders from among Canarian youth.

Reaching Every Island

Pray for church-planting efforts to extend beyond Gran Canaria and Tenerife. Ask for creative strategies to reach remote areas and for partnerships between expat and Spanish-speaking congregations.

Compassion for Migrants

The Canaries are a gateway for African migrants. Pray for mercy, provision, and compassionate outreach from the churches. Ask for wisdom for local authorities and for the church to be a bridge of love.
