The first settlers on the Canary Islands came around 1,000BC. They are ethnically related to the North African Berber peoples.
The culture and language of the Canary Islands is Spanish.
Like the other ethnic groups native Spain, the Canary Islands Berber are Roman Catholic. Many are secularized, but the Catholic Church is still the place to be married and buried.
The Canary Islands Berber need a Christ-centered theology. As it stands, they look to a religious institution or to themselves to find life’s answers.
Pray for the Canary Islands Berber to have enough spiritual hunger that they seek and find the living Christ.
Pray for Canary Islands Berber disciples to make more disciples.
Pray for a spiritual revival to deeply affect the Catholic Church in Spain.
