What an incredible story coming out of Spain this summer. While most young Europeans were getting drunk and partying on the beaches of Mallorca, hundreds of brave Christian youth had a different mission. They went to the biggest party zones to share the love of Jesus Christ with lost souls.
Over 350 young Christians from Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and beyond spent two weeks bringing the gospel to one of Europe’s wildest vacation spots. These faithful warriors didn’t go to Mallorca to drink or hook up like everyone else. They went to save lives and change hearts for eternity.
The results speak for themselves. Hundreds of party-goers heard the good news of Jesus Christ right there on the sand. Many young people gave their lives to the Lord and were baptized in the ocean. This is what happens when Christians actually live out their faith instead of hiding in church buildings.
Gernot Elsner, who leads this amazing ministry, said they picked Mallorca because it’s a party zone where people least expect to hear about God. What brilliant strategy. Go where the lost people are instead of waiting for them to come to you. This is evangelism done right.
These Christian soldiers held beach services right next to the nightclubs and bars. Picture this: drunk tourists stumbling out of discos only to find young people singing worship songs and preaching about salvation. Talk about spiritual warfare in action.
The ministry has been doing this for 15 years and keeps growing stronger. They even used party boats normally filled with drinking tourists to share the gospel message. Now that’s turning the enemy’s weapons against him.
This is exactly what America needs more of. Bold Christians who aren’t afraid to take their faith into the darkest places. While our culture celebrates sin and debauchery, these young heroes chose to be light in the darkness.
What a powerful reminder that God can work anywhere, even in the middle of Europe’s biggest party scene. When Christians actually act like Christians, amazing things happen. May God bless these faithful servants and raise up more like them across the world.
