Be part of God´s Movement
Spain 1700
This is more than an initiative — it’s an opportunity to be part of God’s unfolding story in Spain.
Why Spain? Why Now?
A Nation ready for Gospel Transformation
Spain, though easily accessible, remains one of the least reached countries in the world. With fewer than 1% of Spaniards professing a relationship with Jesus Christ, entire towns and villages exist without a single gospel-preaching church.
A Legacy of Religion Without Relationship
A Gospel Desert in Europe
An Unprecedented Opportunity
“We believe God is raising a movement in Spain—passionate to see lives transformed by the Gospel.”

86.18%
Towns without a Church
Out of 8,123 towns in Spain, more than 7,000 have no gospel-preaching church — entire communities remain unreached.
21%
Unreached Spaniards
Over 10 million Spaniards have never heard the good news of Jesus — the need for gospel access is urgent.
7 Yrs
Time to Faith
On average, it takes seven years for a Spaniard to come to Christ — highlighting the need for persistent prayer and presence.
1%
Followers of Christ
Less than 1% of Spaniards know Jesus personally. Most growth comes from immigrant communities, not native Spaniards.
Why are we talking about a Movement?
A movement is not a program, event, or institution. It is:
A movement like Spain 1700 does not begin with strategy or structure—it begins with surrender. It is empowered by the Holy Spirit and fueled by prayer, emerging from deep dependence on God and a commitment to obey His leading. Rather than growing one church at a time, it multiplies disciples who make disciples, churches that plant churches, and communities that birth new communities. The focus is not on programs or buildings, but on people—on lives transformed through relationships and obedience to the gospel. These movements are led not by professionals, but by ordinary believers who are equipped and released to lead, serve, and disciple in their own context.
What makes Spain 1700 unique is its simplicity and reproducibility. The tools and methods are designed to be scalable, adaptable, and rooted in the local culture. It is not dependent on large budgets or outside control, but thrives through grassroots leadership and contextualized discipleship. The goal is not just growth in numbers, but depth in faith—communities marked by obedience, prayer, and fruitfulness. Spain 1700 is a Spirit-led, obedience-based movement that equips disciples to make disciples and churches to plant churches, until every region of Spain is saturated with the gospel.
