Vigo, Spain

March 7-15, 2025

Vigo is in Galicia, a region in northwestern Spain. Every year more than 400,000 people travel to Galicia on the “Camino de Santiago,” an ancient Christian pilgrimage to the cathedral where traditional holds that the remains of St. James are buried.

But today, only 0.4% of Gallegos claim a personal relationship with Jesus. After a civil war, centuries of empire, religious persecution, and a dictatorship in recent memory, Spain has become a secular country—and Gallegos are the least reached with the Gospel in the entire nation. 

Our missionary hosts lead a church-planting team with the goal of establishing a “Gospel-centered, Spanish-shaped church” in the heart of the city. They’re part of a continent-wide group with a dream of seeing Europe saturated with the light of the gospel, filled with strong and healthy churches, and led by individuals who have been transformed by grace.

Our team will be partnering with these long-term missionaries to launch a new culture center, which gives them a platform to engage with secular Spaniards. We will also be interacting with students at the University of Vigo, because as a team of college students we have a unique ability to connect secular students to a Christian community that can introduce them to the Gospel.

We will also be providing the momentum to launch a Students for Christ ministry (international equivalent of Chi Alpha) at the University of Vigo, giving university students an opportunity to experience Christian community and start a personal relationship with God.
