Description
REACH Spain is an intensive residential discipleship training programme focused on equipping participants to reach the least reached.
Ministry details
We offer an exciting cross-cultural missions experience while helping you deepen your relationship with God and grow in discipleship. REACH is an 18-week programme that includes training and practical experience in different mission fields throughout the country. TRAINING You will join a group of participants from different countries with diverse cultures, which will enrich the teaching sessions which in turn will be given by experienced workers in the field. There will be training on different subjects including biblical, missiological, cultural, discipleship, leadership and other topics. These will always be accompanied by feedback activities such as small groups, workshops or Bible studies. A fundamental part of the programme is mentoring. Throughout the training, you will have a mentor with whom you can talk about everything you are learning and how God is working in your life. PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE Participating in different types of ministries. The practical experience at REACH will be unique because you will participate in various ministries with Spanish people, Muslims and immigrants from different countries from the south to the north of the country. You will put what you have learned into practice in Algeciras (training base), Seville, crossing by ferry to Ceuta (North Africa), in Extremadura and in Galicia. It will be a unique intercultural experience with many opportunities to do ministry among diverse groups of people.
Purpose
We want to equip young disciples with practical tools for ministry among the least reached, while they grow in their relationship with God by following His call, becoming more impactful in their culture, society and the nations. Combining theory based sessions with practical missions experiences, participants will become involved in God's mission to make more disciples. Through living together in community, they will be able to discover or deepen their calling by exploring different ways of evangelising, discipling and participating in strengthening the Spanish church. For 18 weeks you will experience ministry among Spaniards and different groups of people living in Spain. If you want to serve God in one of the most multicultural regions in the world and explore different ways of making disciples among two of the largest religious groups in the world, Catholics and Muslims... ...REACH Spain is the place for you!

REACH Spain is an intensive residential discipleship training programme focused on spiritual formation, understanding and becoming part of God's mission and being equipped to reach the least reached. REACH is, in short, a discipleship experience and journey. We believe that during your time at REACH you will learn to hear God's voice through His Word, His Spirit and prayer. You will learn to obey and be continually shaped by His Word to become an agent of transformation within your community. You will learn to passionately and consistently share the Gospel with those around you, bringing God's Word to those who have not heard it. Our simple yet profound approach which is based on 3 principles - listen, obey, share - enables believers to grow in their faith and become obedient followers of Jesus. By instilling these basic principles, our goal is to lay a solid foundation for disciples to grow in their relationship with Jesus and in their role as messengers of the Gospel.
