Those of us that travelled to Madrid for WYD had a great time. Whilst we were there for the World Youth Day experience, no one can deny the amazing shopping available in Madrid. Perhaps you came home with one or two items, perhaps you came home with one of two extra kilos. Now before you go hiding those clothes away because you were meant to be there for WYD, did you ever think about the evangelisation opportunity that these new clothes or shoes will provide you?
Recently I was wearing a jacket that I had bought at Zara in Madrid when someone commented about how nice the jacket was. When I told them that I picked it up in Madrid they then asked me about what I was doing in Madrid. At this point I was able to begin a conversation with someone about WYD and my experience of God that I would never have been able to raise if it wasn't for the jacket.
So when you wear the clothes or shoes that you picked up in Madrid wear them with pride because they may provide you with an opportunity to evangelise. The trick is not to become an evangelist of Zara but to use the clothes to talk about WYD.
