Gateway to Three Continents
Pray for the islands' strategic position to be used for the Kingdom—as a hub for mission to Africa and Latin America, and a place where people from many nations encounter God.
Region prayer guide
Canary Islands
The Canary Islands are a Spanish archipelago off the northwest coast of Africa, closer geographically to Morocco than to mainland Spain. The islands are a major tourist destination and strategic crossroads between Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Though historically Catholic, active church attendance is low and evangelical Christianity is a small minority.

Among the Guanche Heritage
Pray for Canarians to find pride in their unique identity through Christ rather than through only cultural or political means, and for churches that are rooted in the islands' distinct context.
Migration and Refuge
The Canary Islands face large numbers of migrants arriving from West Africa. Pray for compassionate, Gospel-centered responses to migration, and for these arrivals to hear good news in their first days on European soil.
“Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise from the ends of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, you islands and all who live in them.”Sign up to commit
