Spain: Christian camp survives inferno

The fire stopped just short of the buildings

A Christian camp located in the region of Madrid, where officials say the wildfires raging this summer are the worst they’ve experienced, is still standing.

Pinos Reales, part of Evangelismo en Acción (Evangelism in Action), is a Christian camp and retreat centre which was established in 1974. However, situated 70km from Madrid, the ministry has been facing the possibility of destruction with devastating wildfires spreading across Spain and other parts of Europe this summer.

Despite the force of the fires in the region, camp coordinator Ana María Huck Vangioni told Protestante Digital, a Spanish news website, that photos taken of the camp show several of its buildings unscathed despite flames almost reaching their doorsteps.
