The Young Girls

Granada, Spain
We packed and packed and every time I turned around there seemed to be another website bracelet sitting there. I am in the habit of just putting it on if I find one on the floor or table. They seemed to be multiplying that morning and I remember thinking I would be wearing 30 bracelets all day because I’d never give all these out.

Part of our daily routine is replenishing our witnessing supplies. Right now that entails everybody making sure they have several bracelets on and that someone has tracts in Spanish and English.

We headed down the street pulling behind us our suitcases. It was a fairly long walk to where the taxis were, but it was all downhill. We walked past a group of young girls and their teacher. Not an uncommon site in Granada. Suddenly I knew in my spirit they were why the bracelets had multiplied. I literally had to turn around and chase them down a bit. Again in my broken English I started offering free bracelets. The girls clamored around me and gleefully took the bracelets. They practiced their English on me and eyed the boys.


I then started handing out the tracts and telling them about Jesus. The teacher arrived. I could sense her uneasiness. I again started explaining who we were and that we simply offered a free gift. I asked if we could pray for them. The girls were eager for us to pray. I lifted my hands and prayed mightily for these girls. I asked God to raise them up and make them mighty women of God, that He would show them His love and pour out His Holy Spirit upon them.


Unfortunately, we did not get to take a photo of this delightful group. Please pray for God to touch their hearts.
