Spain Barcelona Mission: October 2013

About the Mission

The Spain Barcelona Mission extends from Santander on the Bay of Biscay (on the Atlantic Ocean) to Valencia on the Mediterranean, and includes the islands of Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza. Major cities include Barcelona, Bilbao, Burgos, Santander, San Sebastian, Pamplona, Girona, Tarragona, Valencia, Zaragoza, and Palma de Mallorca. It also includes the
principality of Andorra in the Pyrenees. About 14 million people live within the boundaries of the mission.

The mission includes three distinct languages and two additional dialects: Spanish, Catalan (and its derivatives, Valenciano and Mallorquin), and Basque. However, Church services and missionary work are all conducted in Spanish.
Missionaries serving in the Spain Barcelona Mission can expect to baptize regularly. It is possible to baptize weekly in this mission. Spain is entering a great "second harvest" (the first great harvest was in the 1970s), and missionary work here is more like South America than northern Europe.

The mission home is located at:
C/ Calatrava 10-12, bajos
08017 Barcelona

We bid farewell to eight wonderful missionaries. Thank you for your service, love and examples.

Transfers brought 20 new missionaries to El Faro! Seventeen came from Madrid on the train and three arrived at the airport from the states.

Mission Leadership Council -- "Concilio" -- was Sept. 30. Due to the flu, a couple are missing. These are outstanding leaders who are filled with faith. We are here to baptize! This isn't "our" mission, it's the Lords!
