24-7 Ibiza Report

Published: July 5th, 2006

Summer season has kicked off in a big way in Ibiza with all the opening parties taking place and the crowds starting to stream into Europe’s party capital.
 
The first 24-7ibiza summer team has been here and in the space of a great two weeks they have managed to pray in a number of clubs, serve by ground clearing in a local school, give out cold oranges along the beach, pray around a lot of the island and on top of all that spend many evenings/nights in the West end of San Antonio. It was during the west end times that they saw their greatest visible response.
 
The team report:
 
We had people back to our newly established and permanent prayer room - a couple of workers and some holidaymakers.
 
One guy (who wasn’t drunk) said “this is the best place I have been to in my whole time on the island”.  Another guy, Scotty urinated on the landing outside our prayer room twice, but later became a Christian, although he was a little drunk at the time; when we spotted him the next day, sober, he still wanted to talk about God.  We hope to connect with him back in the UK.
 
We were able to pray with over 100 people. People wanted to be listened to and the levels of openness were fantastic.
 
Here are a few of the prayers written by people out for a good night in the west end; each is now pinned on our prayer room wall.
 
 
Connie - I hope the girl who live with Sam’s cousin gets better and makes a full recovery
Scotty - I love God, I feel relieved, forgive me please
2 Muslim Guys – Better life, good quality of life, honesty
Lee – Pray for my dad
Charlotte – That I will have a safe summer
Tommy – Please let me live till at least 60 plus
Kerri – To be alive at the end of the season
Gary – I am grateful for what I have, may good come to others. Help me get a job as a fireman. 24-7 Rules!!!
Liam – world peace
Nicola – I want to meet the man of my dreams who will look after me
Eamon – Home safe, Roisin who is pregnant, Connor whose mum has died and his friend Paddy who has cancer
Danny – Jimmy and Lisa who are having a baby and Barry and Lynne who are having a baby but have been told there is a 25% chance of it being born handicapped
Tommy and Liam – Tieranan who has a brain tumour behind the eye
Robbie – Could you pray for my throat it’s in a bad way, I smoke to much, drink to much and do to many drugs
Danny and Ann – That they have a happy wedding day on 25th September
Kim – I pray for a seat in heaven
Samantha – her Gran and Grandad died her family are finding it hard to cope
Gill – Jane’s baby in hospital
 
We could go on but we hope this gives you a snippet of the real lives we are touching and the real people who we hope to have helped on their journey towards God.
 
This is just the beginning  - please pray that all we try to do here has the breath of God on it. The sights can be wild, the excess extreme and the vibe intimidating but this is where we are meant to be and we are totally assured that God walks with us.
 
Thank you
