Editor's note: Did you know there is one country in Africa that speaks Spanish as it's official language? Equatorial Guinea! Our podcast editor has a missionary friend currently ministering to the people living in the small, relatively unknown country of Equatorial Guinea. If you're a Spanish speaker, or you've had some Spanish classes in school, there may be a place for you in Africa to use your language skills to share the good news about Jesus!
