Frontline Friday: Life on Mission – Madrid

iGo Global Staff • Aug 09, 2013
This story from the summer is from J.D. who served as one of our JSI’s in Madrid (overseas intern). Our JSI’s live in Madrid for about 6 weeks, learn the work first hand from the M’s on the ground, and then lead our first time teams into the work. Check out all the great prayer points J.D. gives in his update. 

As we moved into the other seasons, Father did amazing amazing things. He provided many opportunities for us to sow the story and also just to have amazing relationships started. After a few days of eating at a Romanian kebab place we went to a Moroccan restaurant to have Couscous.  After we finished eating that day I felt like I should go talk to the young guy working. Come to find out his Family owns the restaurant and they are very devout Muslim.

After sitting for about 2 hours and many mint teas later, we had started a great friendship. I didn’t get to share the whole Story with him, but I did get to share a new arabic phrase I learned which translates to Jesus is the Messiah. They politely disagreed but still welcomed me back.

The next day was even more amazing. We decided to go into a Hiper Fruteria (Super Fruitstore). When we walked in a few of the girls from my trek were also in there, and they really wanted to talk to the young lady working the counter, but she didn’t speak English. I started translating.. Before this encounter I had never been able to share the entire Story in Spanish. But with Fathers blessing my Spanish just started flowing. We were able to talk with this lady for about 45 minutes and share the Good News with her. Praise Father! Please continue to pr for Has.

Later we went to eat at a restaurant and enjoyed a great meal of rabbit and potatoes. I started talking to a Arabic guy and we sat for about an hour and a half. These guys began talking to me like I was one of them and treated me as a friend. I now understand what Paul means when he said I shared my life with you. I know some seeds were planted and Father is there to make them grow. Please join with me in praying for M, Ad, and Al.

There was some challenges this week and many things I had to grow in, but I got to see Father guide me and help me when I didn’t know what to do. I also got to see my students grow. Pray for all of them as they will be stepping back into their lives back at home.

Make Him Famous!!!!!
