A relaxing morning was followed by Evangelism Training “Evangelism and Mercy Ministries” by Larry Martini. There is so much need in the world, we must meet spiritual needs but also physical ones (Mat 25:31-46), not because of guilt but because we have been loved by God and point people towards Christ as we do so. Our beach evangelism ended slightly early because of heavy rain, which resulted in a mud fight and everyone in the pool going round to make it a whirlpool. Forever Young then encouraged us all with backrubs which were amazing and then there were Guy/Girl Breakouts – the guys went to the beach in athletic clothes and played violent games, the girls went to a room behind the church in pyjamas and talked. Reinforcing stereotypes? Sadly, yes – but it was a great time.
