General Information: 

Although this is a non-CAC country, the main focus of this ministry is on North African CAC peoples. Understanding that daily life is lived between local culture and North African cultures is very important to long-term resilience and success. There are very few known evangelical believers, and professing Christians number less than 1 percent. Most immigrants have come to Europe in search of a better life. Some are seeking refuge or asylum. For the first time in their lives, they are coming in contact with a religion, belief system, and worldview other than their religion. For many immigrants, this transition offers their first chance to explore the concepts of Christianity and meet a true follower of Jesus. 

Language Expectations: 

Language is an essential part of ministry. Those who do not know the language will attend a language study program. The goal will be to speak, read, and write the language at a functional level in order to mentor, teach, and train others. 

If Spanish is lacking, classes or tutoring will be required until the candidate reaches a B2 level. Two years of Arabic language study are required. 

Health Considerations: 

This country has modern health-care facilities and well-trained doctors, and most medications are readily available. 

Expectations for Spouse: 

Spousal roles vary based on the spouse’s gifts, training, and abilities as well as the needs of the team. It is expected that both spouses will be meaningfully involved in meeting ministry objectives depending on the nature of family roles, children, etc. 

Children’s Educational Plan and Options: 

This country offers various options for education. There are public, private, and semi-private schools that teach in Spanish and basic English. All are close to the ministry location. An international school that offers an IB diploma is also close. Boarding at a Christian school may also be available (BFA in Kandern, Germany).
