In a country where only 1% know Christ personally, many young people in Spain have never met someone who can show them the true hope and purpose found in Jesus. They’re longing for real mentors and sincere friendship, not just passive church attendance. Might you be one of those friends?
With Avance, you’ll invest deeply in young lives, building trust through everyday moments, whether that’s playing sports, creating art, or simply showing up for coffee and conversation.
Spanish culture is quick to welcome new faces but slow to trust, so it takes patience and bold love to walk alongside young people hungry for authentic faith. Granada’s ancient streets, buzzing university life, mountain trails, and cozy cafes make it the perfect place to build genuine friendships that open hearts to the Gospel.
Come help local churches reach the next generation with the good news that Jesus still changes lives. You can even earn a Master’s in Cross-Cultural Mission through our Kairos University partnership while you serve.
Language proficiency: No language proficiency requirements, but intermediate level of Spanish (B2) is strongly preferred. An ability and willingness to engage frequently with the language and pursue greater language acquisition is critical to the success of this position.
Cross-cultural Experience: Successful Goers will have a heart for learning via immersion and intentional interaction. Previous cross-cultural experience is beneficial.
Church Experience: A successful candidate should be passionate about working in a post-Christian environment alongside local congregational leadership.
Leadership Experience: Leadership experience will be helpful to mentor and bring others along in your ministry engagement in congregational life and community mission. Previous Youth Ministry is desirable.
