A growing church planting ministry is having an impact on the surfing community in Northern Portugal.

Operation Mobilisation’s Surf Church Porto began in the home of Troy and Michelle Pitney in 2015 with just 6 people.

Three years ago, numbers grew to around 80 attendees, forcing the couple to move the church out of their home and into a new location near the beach.

The acquisition of the new facility allowed them to begin a children’s ministry and go on to set up a second premises in another city.

Mr Pitney told ASSIST News their vision is to continue planting churches across the country in order to make disciples who go on to disciple others.

Surf Church has found its niche amongst the youth in the community who say they feel loved and enjoy learning about the love of God.
