According to some recent reports, the vision for planting new gospel churches is greater in Portugal than in many other European countries, with an encouraging number of evangelical churches there either thinking and praying about planting new churches or already doing it. A number of our EMF missionaries in Portugal have been involved in church plants in recent years, and some of them are planting new churches at the moment. What are the challenges? How do you go about planting a new church in Portugal? What encouragements have there been?
The aims of the webinar are:
To share with people some of the challenges and encouragements of gospel work in Portugal today;
To encourage people to pray with greater understanding for the progress of the gospel in Portugal;
To highlight the importance of planting new churches as a biblical and effective strategy for gospel growth.
