Jon's ramblings: Ibiza Town

After four nights on the spin we were ready for a break.

Today’s schedule included our usual team meeting in the prayer room. After a worship song we shared our feelings on the night before. Some had encouraging encounters, others a quieter night which had actually given us the opportunity to get to know our long term team buddies better. Some of us reflected on how we felt a little flat after the exciting start to the week. We resolved to enjoy today’s trip to Ibiza Town and keep encouraging one another.

Our guide for the day was Danny. He, Lydie and their daughter Asha moved to the island in January as part of a new work in Ibiza town alongside some of the most marginalised people groups on the island.
We climbed the steps of the old fortified town gulping down water as we went and taking in the impressive vistas over the harbour, the main beaches , the salt flats that provide grit for the roads of Scotland, and the island airport. Danny shared how God had clearly called them to the island with a series of clear confirmations, some of which totally blew us away in terms of the generosity of God’s people and the wonderful way that God provides for those who are obedient to His call. The work is still evolving and Danny spoke of how his family are waiting on God to direct their strategies when the time is right.

Truly inspiring.


We finished the day with a lovely meal on the harbour side.
