Pray for La Rioja
La Rioja is a small region in north-central Spain, world-renowned for its wine and rolling vineyards. With a population of just 320,000, it has one of the smallest evangelical communities in Spain — only 8 churches and around 382 believers as of 2008. Five towns over 5,000 people still lack a church. Though culturally Catholic and proud of its wine heritage, La Rioja’s openness and hospitality offer unique opportunities for Gospel outreach.
Key Prayer Points
La Rioja is a region of small numbers and great potential. As you pray, focus on encouraging the believers, pouring out new wine of the Gospel, and reaching the next generation. Let’s ask God to bring spiritual renewal to this fertile land.
Small but Strong
Pray for the encouragement of the tiny evangelical community. Ask God to fill them with boldness and the Holy Spirit, and for the church in Logroño to become a hub of strength and support.
New Wine, New Wineskins
In this land of wine, pray for fresh approaches to outreach — evangelistic events at wineries, ministry to tourists, and creative ways to share the Gospel. Ask God to bring miracles of joy and salvation.
Youth and Future
Pray for youth-focused ministry — camps, sports outreach, and discipleship. Ask that young believers remain in La Rioja and become tomorrow’s church planters.
