Català Outreach Team

Project Description

This team will be focusing on Catalan speakers in Catalunya within Spain. Participants will use their gifts and interests to connect with local people while engaging in prayer and missional conversations. Art, music, and sport are all great ways to connect with people and appreciate their culture and way of life. This act of listening and appreciation can be a good first step to a missional conversation about life with Jesus and our Creator.

Linguæ Christi has embraced the calling of addressing the spiritual needs of speakers of ALL the indigenous, minority languages in the European/Eurasian context (from Portugal in the West to Siberia in the East). Much as we have done among speakers of Celtic languages for the past 20 years, we intend to begin new work with other European minority languages groups. Over the next 2-5 years specifically, it is our desire to open new work in at least two to three new areas.

Language

As the trade language in Andorra is Spanish (Castilian), it would be very helpful and advisable if interested students (1) already possessed some good proficiency in Spanish before arrival (level A2 or higher), or (2) would be willing to commit to go through our “crash-course” (free and by distance learning) in Spanish before arrival on field. No knowledge of Catalan is required or expected before arrival, as an intensive introduction to Catalan will be offered as part of the initial, on-field orientation.
