Buenas Tardes from Fuengirola

Hi everyone,

Thank you for your prayers and support this past week! It has been awesome to see how God has answered our prayers for this trip. It has also been awesome to see how He is so clearly in control of these two weeks. We arrived safely, have bonded really well with the Spanish groups here, have been picking up the language, and have been very busy preparing for the campaign, which started two nights ago with a mime and preaching along the boardwalk that runs along the beach. God has given us many different people to share with during this mimes, including a Muslim teenager, an athiest couple from Sweden, an elderly lady, and a Nigerian Christian, among others. The students did an awesome job with the mime and it was clear that God blessed it as it attracted many onlookers.

During our time here we have had a chance to learn about the spiritual conditions here in Spain, and it is heartbreaking - according to one presentation we saw there were less Evangelical Christians here as a percentage of the population than in Saudia Arabia. Whatever statistics you look at, there are very few Christians here. There are very unique opportunities here for the gospel too - one person said Fuengirola is populated by people from over 140 nationalities.

I believe the four objectives of World Impact are to
SERVE our partners
LEARN about the world
GROW in Christ
CONTINUE in missions
It´s been really awesome to see how the students are serving, learning about Spain and God´s work here, and growing in their relationship with Christ. The students are really enjoying serving alongside the Spanish believers which has been great to see. It has also been great to see the students trust God as each day brings new challenges and opportunities to share the gospel and grow in Christ. Please continue to pray for us as the campaign continues with two concerts, one tonight and one tomorrow night, a Bible festival for children, a basketball tournament, and many other outreach events. Pray that the students would have many opportunities to share their faith, and would take them and be encouraged by sharing their faith. Please also continue to pray for our safety, and for strength to finish strong.

Thank you for your partnership!
In Christ,
Brian
