Amazing!!!

I got to share my faith!!!


We have a group of 50 people here for a few days that are mostly 12 year old students and 2 teachers, so it’s a little crazy at the hostel at the moment. I do have to complain because they will not eat any of the food that we provide for them; it all just goes into the trash! I always thought that it was just an American thing of people not liking the food in other countries, but I have quickly realized that it is now also an Eastern European concept as well, since that is where all the students are from. But anyways, as much as they have driven us crazy and demanding strange things, they ask their teacher why we are so nice and what makes us so happy. All she could tell them was that we have an inner peace about us.

The other night, me and another work spent 3 hours talking to the teacher about God and Jesus and how He has affected our lives and why He is the only way to having a relationship with God. She asked questions as to how it’s different from other religions and especially Islam. It was amazing! And last night she sat down for another 3 hours and talked to one of our other staff members about our faith. It’s amazing how God is working through us in the little things, to have the guests ask about the major things.
