PORTUGAL

Lisbon is the capital of Portugal, home to 3 million people and a favorite vacation spot for Europeans due to its coastline and sunny, temperate weather. Though Lisbon has long been a multi-cultural melting pot, the increase of its expatriate population has increased dramatically over the last decade. For Ukrainian or Middle Eastern refugees fleeing war, or for American or Western Europeans seeking a cheaper place to live, there is a growing need in Lisbon for gospel-driven, Christ-centered churches.

MTW’s Lisbon team is planting vibrant, evangelical, and Reformed churches in the Lisbon area primarily focused upon this growing international community, while faithfully welcoming Portuguese worshipers, as well. Hospitality ministry, relationship building, book clubs, music leading, youth and children’s ministry, discipleship and evangelism are the ministry focus points, all with the intention of gathering those whom God’s Spirit is moving to worship Him as His Church in Lisbon.
