Unreached peoples of Spain
An overview of the country's people groups, focusing on those who still have little or no access to the gospel in their own language and culture.
Overview
Despite the historic weight of Christianity, Spain remains a field little reached by the living gospel. Its peoples include groups still considered unreached, such as Roma communities, Muslim populations of North African origin, and secularized Spaniards themselves in their majority. There are also languages spoken in the country that still lack a complete translation of the Scriptures, a reminder that the need is not only on distant frontiers but also in the heart of Europe.
