Think differently...

Yesterday was the last day of outreach in Málaga for one of our Spanish King's Kids teams this summer. After a training camp in Barcelona, this little team of ten boys, five girls and half a dozen staff made the long bus journey down to Huelva (near the Portuguese border), then crossed Andalucía to the town of Motril, before heading to Málaga for the last few days of their outreach.
"Piensa diferente" (think differently) was the theme of their outreach and this was put to the test last night when they headed to the beach area for their last hours of sharing their faith. Their sound system had broken - which meant that they weren't able to play music, perform dances, give testimonies over the microphone or do the usual sorts of things that draw a crowd. Instead, this team of teenagers had to "think differently." They simply went out in twos and threes to talk about Jesus with people who were sitting or walking in the beachfront area.
Today the young people will have a time of debriefing and evaluation before heading back home tomorrow to the different regions of Spain that they come from.
