Spain1700 — Organization Profile Spain1700 is a Christian disciple-making and church-planting movement focused on equipping disciples to make disciples and churches to plant churches across Spain. The movement describes itself as Spirit-led and obedience-based, with a vision to see the Gospel saturate the country through prayer, collaboration, local leadership, and reproducible simple churches. The movement is focused on Spain, with a stated goal of reaching all 17 regions of Spain. Spain1700’s public materials identify Spain as a spiritually underserved mission field, noting that many towns and villages do not have a Gospel-preaching church. The movement’s long-term vision is to see 1,700 simple churches planted across the country by 2034, with 100 in each region. Spain1700 began from prayer gatherings among…
Spain1700 is a Christian disciple-making and church-planting movement focused on equipping disciples to make disciples and churches to plant churches across Spain.

The movement is focused on Spain, with a stated goal of reaching all 17 regions of Spain. Spain1700’s public materials identify Spain as a spiritually underserved mission field, noting that many towns and villages do not have a Gospel-preaching church. The movement’s long-term vision is to see 1,700 simple churches planted across the country by 2034, with 100 in each region.
Spain1700 began from prayer gatherings among missionaries and local believers who were asking God for a disciple-making movement in Spain. The coalition formalized its shared commitment after a gathering in Granada, Spain, in fall 2022. As the vision grew, churches and mission organizations outside Spain joined alongside teams on the ground, forming a network of nearly 20 churches and ministries.
The movement’s strategy is built around Disciple Making Movements and Church Planting Movements that multiply through ordinary believers, local leaders, and simple reproducible tools. Spain1700 emphasizes that a movement is not primarily a program, event, or institution, but a prayer-fueled work of God in which disciples make disciples, churches plant churches, and local communities become centers of Gospel witness.
Spain1700’s values include prayer, collaboration, multiplication, innovation, and empowerment. The movement prioritizes equipping local believers and leaders to serve in their own contexts, adapting strategies for each regional setting rather than depending on outside control. Its approach is intentionally scalable, relational, and rooted in obedience, with the goal of long-term transformation rather than short-term activity.
People can engage with Spain1700 through daily prayer at 5:00 p.m., region adoption, vision trips, Awake Spain prayer walks, coalition participation, and short-, mid-, or long-term mission mobilization. Churches can adopt a region for prayer, partnership, and mission, while individuals can join prayer efforts, visit a region with a national leader, or explore service opportunities connected to disciple-making and church planting. Its distinct contribution is a collaborative Spain-focused movement mobilizing prayer, people, churches, and resources toward 1,700 simple churches across Spain by 2034.

Partner135, also written as Partner 135, is an international Christian mission agency committed to equipping today’s church to reach today’s world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The organization describes its work as empowering the national church where it is by forming strategic partnerships between U.S. disciples and indigenous disciples who serve within specific cultures and geographic regions.
The ministry is based in Van Buren, Arkansas, and serves through established work on four continents, including ministry connections in Uganda, South Asia, Romania, Tanzania, Peru, Nepal, India, the Frontier, Kenya, and Egypt. Partner135 works with national pastors, church leaders, missionaries, churches, and mission volunteers to reach unreached, under-reached, and under-served peoples.
Partner135 summarizes its ministry approach through three words: Discover, Develop, and Deploy. The organization seeks to discover unreached and unengaged people groups, develop contextualized strategies with national church leaders, and deploy missionaries, short-term teams, resources, and funds for training and service. This model reflects a focus on local church partnerships, contextual mission strategy, and reproducible leadership development.
Short-term mission mobilization is a major part of Partner135’s work. The organization sends disciples from the United States to serve alongside national pastors and church leaders for one- to three-week mission projects, many of them in remote areas. These trips include sharing the Gospel, meeting practical needs, and supporting ongoing ministry led by local believers.
Partner135 also supports year-round ministry through sponsorships, church planting, pastor support, child and school sponsorship, missionary support, international staff support, project funding, elderly and widow support, and emergency relief. Its giving opportunities emphasize teaching the Gospel, training the next generation of believers, and telling stories of what God is doing through partner ministries around the world.
People can engage with Partner135 by praying, giving, becoming a Gospel Partner, joining the prayer team, supporting a missionary or project, sponsoring children or schools, joining a short-term mission trip, or contacting the organization about mobilization. Its distinct contribution is connecting U.S. churches and disciples with national church leaders to advance Gospel work among unreached and underserved communities through partnership, training, mobilization, and practical support.

Hope for the Balkans Mission Network is a Christian ministry focused on equipping, empowering, and training God’s people in Bulgaria and the Balkans to reach their generation for Jesus Christ. The ministry states that it exists to lead people to God, establish them in the faith, and equip them for ministry by pouring into their lives, motivating them, and facilitating reproduction into multiple generations of disciples of Christ.
The organization’s core focus is producing global Christians and expository preachers through discipleship, mission mobilization, church partnerships, and pastoral training. Hope for the Balkans seeks to serve as a bridge between churches in the United States and churches in Bulgaria so the body of Christ can work together for gospel expansion in the region.
Hope for the Balkans serves Bulgaria, with ministry vision extending into the Balkans and Europe. Its public materials identify ministry activity in Bulgarian cities such as Sofia, Burgas, Plovdiv, Shumen, Ruse, Karlovo, Sliven, Pleven, Varna, Karnobat, Kazanlak, and Veliko Tarnovo. The ministry also describes the evangelical church in Bulgaria as a small minority within a wider religious and cultural context shaped by Orthodox and Muslim communities.
The ministry operates through several connected areas, including the Kairos Course, Training for Trainers, church mobilization, discipleship multiplication, internet ministry, and partnerships with mission organizations. The Kairos Course is used to mobilize believers and churches for God’s global mission, with a focus on unreached and least-reached people groups. Hope for the Balkans reports launching the Kairos Course in Bulgaria in 2013 and continuing to conduct courses in multiple Bulgarian cities.
A distinctive part of Hope for the Balkans’ approach is equipping Bulgarian pastors and pastor-trainers to faithfully study, teach, and preach God’s Word. Its Training for Trainers program emphasizes expository preaching, hermeneutical principles, interactive workshops, practice preaching, mentoring, and multiplication through the 2 Timothy 2:2 model. The ministry describes this work as bringing Bible training to pastors who may not be able to attend seminary.
People can engage with Hope for the Balkans by praying, giving, joining the sending team, partnering through churches, supporting Kairos and Training for Trainers work, or contacting the ministry directly. Donations are received online through New Life International or by check designated for “Bulgaria Ministry” or “BG-01.” The ministry also lists mission partners such as New Life International, Simply Mobilizing, WordPartners, and IDES.
