Monday was not my favourite day, lentils for lunch, salad for dinner and hours of learning and perfecting evangelistic dances and all on about 2 hours sleep. Sunday night we would be in valencia a city on spains east coast not far from Alicante, Santiago Calatravas architecture, miles of beach and despite the tourists still a mainly spainsh city. We would be there for a month long outreach like india, evangelistic dances, dramas and testimonies, going out and speaking to people about god, your relationship with him and where they were at - in sort terrifying stuff.
What was different about telling people about god in a western country? was there any difference? would it be harder than india? is it easier to do it in countries so different from your own and if so why!? i would im sure find out the answers to all these and more, but for now it ment hours of practicing dramas and dances, some of which i didnt like. If the church was going to use secular things as tools of evangelism then they need to look flippin impressive, theres nothing good or street stopping about mediocure of silly moves. but beyond that was the issue of being at the front, yes lots of people not only able to see you - but watching everything, literally your every move! secondly the thought of messing up infront of people looking, and thirdly the thought that even if you did it all perfect the dance may not look good before you go out into the crowd and talk to complete strangers about where they were at with god! i was fixing my thoughts on the fact id be near a beach, the fact that there was 6 weeks left and praying for god to use me, change my attitude and my focus!
