Follow up!

Even though it has been almost a month, I would still like to follow up with the results of our Spain mission trip. Whether one person has been reading my posts or many, I still want to finalize this blog with a closing post.

After our preparation throughout the week for our presentations at one college and one instituto(we would say high school) we delivered the presentations with a great turn out. At the college named la universidad Pablo de Olavide, we had around fifteen students attend our presentation on social networking.  The best part was some of the students wanted to get lunch with us afterwards! We had lunch with them and connected with them despite the language barrier.  This gave us a great opportunity to show the members of the church and the pastor what we really meant by investing.  Later in the week we gave almost the same presentation at the high school.  We were only given the time they had break so we were concerned because we thought what kid is going to give up their break to watch some presentation about social networks given by Americans.  Despite the doubts, between 30 and 40 students showed up for the presentation.

This trip was very productive and established a relationship with the Church and Schools in the area. There have been sever trips back to Sevilla and Northpoint Ministries continues to partner with Parque Este.
