Portugal

Ministry Description

Word of Life Portugal began in 1976 with Larry and Cindi Bollback. It is currently under the leadership of Matthew and Leilani Melville. From its beginning, the ministry has been based upon the principles of evangelism and discipleship. Through campaigns, camps, and Bible Clubs, thousands have been reached with the gospel. This year, 2021, we are celebrating 45 years of ministry!

Country Description

Portugal is one of Europe's smallest countries but has the oldest national boundaries. Portugal's rich history, which goes back to the time of great discoveries and colonization, can still be seen in traditions and Portuguese culture. It is impossible to see the country and not be amazed by medieval towns with storybook castles and palaces, as well as coastal villages with lively markets and beautiful beaches. Most of the countryside is wreathed in olive groves, vineyards and wheat fields. Portugal, once a strong Catholic country, has been changing rapidly since the 1974 revolution. Today, about 90 percent of the population consult spiritists, mediums and witches. Only about one percent of Portuguese considers themselves Protestants. The number of Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses is quickly rising.
