For the last week we've worked with a group of young people from Barcelona, headed up by a lady named Esther who's led the traveling "Isla del Tesoro" (Treasure Island) evangelical show for many years. The group packs up all they need and travels around Spain, stopping in different towns to present the Gospel through action songs, picture lessons, clowning and dances. Our short-term group has had the opportunity to help set up and tear down the shows, as well as dance in some of the segments. On Monday the four girls and Judith, a Barcelona girl, danced as the five vowel sounds (I danced as the O). Tonight the short-term team and a few others will dance in two songs as animals on Noah's Ark. Kendra will be the penguin, Rebekah the rabbit, I'll be the elephant and some of the others will be figured out this afternoon.
It's been a blessing to see how God has drawn in children to attend and participate in Isla del Tesoro, and even more so to see parents attending the Gospel movies (tonight we're showing the Jesus film) after the shows and asking for the Gospels of Luke and John that church members hand out. It's fairly unusual for Spaniards to take the initial step in asking for information, so please keep praying that the kids' shows and evangelical movies would nudge people's hearts into asking about a deeper relationship with God.
My dear friend in the Azuqueca church, Eva, writes a blog, as well. For a different perspective into life in Spain, visit http://elim-eloasisdeeva.blogspot.com/. Eva belongs to a Christian blogring and gives updates on evangelical events. I'm blessed to call her a friend.
