Records have already been broken as the new school year begins at En Vivo campus house in Salamanca, Spain, according to Globalscope campus minister Dan Dillard.

Record setting attendance“Last week we had nearly 100 students come to our international dinner on Tuesday, and then more than 80 at Café Inglés on Thursday, which is twice the normal amount and an En Vivo record,” he said. “We also have a full bus going to our beach retreat this weekend.”

“Numbers do not necessarily mean anything,” he added. “Even so, it is encouraging when we have the house full of people, because it means we have lots of opportunities to get to know students and share the gospel with them. It also means that word is getting out.”

The En Vivo team members are also encouraged by the growth they see in the student leaders and returning students.

“At dinner after Café Ingles last week, a girl who came for the first time was asking me about En Vivo,” said Dan. “Then a student who’s been around since last year offered his perspective. He said, ‘En Vivo is the best place I have seen where faith matches life. I have seen priests say things in the church but they don’t live like it. At En Vivo, they do.’ ”
