Students for Christ (SfC) reaches
out to both Spanish and international students in Madrid,
Spain. International students are somewhat more approachable
due to the fact that they are away from their country,
family, society, friends, and all the comforts of home.
Every semester several international students give their
lives to Christ. One of the methods of evangelism used
by SfC is something called the Alpha Dinner.
 Alpha
is an evangelistic outreach that began 26 years ago
in London. The evenings include a dinner, a talk on
Christianity and discussion time. The discussion is
led by Christians and is a time for nonChristians to
voice their opinions and ask questions.
The Madrid outreach averages an attendance
of 40, including five Chinese Buddhists, one Japanese
Buddhist, over five Mormons, some from other religions,
and several atheists.
The Alpha's Holy Spirit Encounter Weekend
retreat was amazing Thirty-one students attended, and
everyone not only enjoyed themselves, but everyone was
also challenged in their beliefs. Five Buddhists attended,
and all five now say they have no doubt that God exists.
Each of these students had no belief in God whatsoever
when they began attending Alpha. They are currently
deciding what to do with this new belief they now have.
The prayer is that they will take Jesus as their personal
Savior back with them to China. The Chinese that study
in Spain are some of the top student leaders in their
country. They will have a profound influence as leaders.
