Church Planting in Roquetas de Mar, Almería
Roquetas de Mar is part of the ‘Plastic Sea,’ a huge extension of intensive agriculture so big you can see it from space. The town's population has almost quadrupled in size since 1990 to more than 100 000. A third of the town’s population are immigrants, from Romania, Latina America and from North and West Africa. Those from Africa are mostly from a Muslim majority background, and they’ve come for work and for opportunity, but many find themselves exploited, impoverished and trapped. There are few churches in the area, many of which are focussed on one language or ethnic group.
Roquetas needs God's light to shine into the darkness, churches that will faithfully share the Hope of Jesus and people who will love others with Christ’s love. Chloë is part of a team that longs to see every person in Roquetas de Mar presented with the love and person of Jesus, and every community reached with the gospel in a way that is Biblical, accessible and transforming. Together they hope to strengthen the local churches to reach with people from Africa. They want to see established a vibrant, community of Jesus followers of Muslim background believers reaching out to their own community and those around them.
