The battle in Benidorm

The English Church mission team before going onto the streets

In the first week of October, the bars and restaurants of Benidorm’s busy beachfront and area known as 'The Strip' were bustling and alive with many UK holidaymakers, enjoying some autumnal sunshine before returning to the harsh rigours of a British winter.

There was noise and colour, raucous laughter and angry exchanges on the streets and the walkways. The bouncers and security personnel were earning their money! Groups of Stag Dos and Hen Parties roamed the streets in packs searching out the next place of entertainment.

But during that week, by God’s grace, there was a different ‘pack’ on the street - an evangelical presence. The English Church in Benidorm hosted a Mission Team of mature individuals from Northern Ireland, southern England and one from Wales, who came together for the church’s second ever 'GROW and GO' week.
