We helped to lead a short-term mission trip
for 16-22 year olds to Krakow in Poland earlier this month. We did a number of
different things while there, one of which was going out in the evenings and
talking to people about whom Jesus is and what he did.
On one of the evenings we were out me and
one of the other guys on the team got to talk to a couple of different people
in the main square. The first was a guy who was studying to become an actor. We
got to chat for about half an hour and got to share with him about Jesus and
what he did. We gave him a little picture that we had made on which were the
words Jesus loves you in Polish, which he really liked.
The other guy we got to talk with had not
been to church in about 10 years. Even though he had grown up in church he had
never heard that God wants relationship with us and that Jesus loves him. We
got to talk for a while and when we parted ways he said he was going to go home
and spend some more time thinking and that he would probably spend time praying
before he went to sleep. The thing that challenged him most was that 2 people
from England had come to his town and wanted to tell him that God loved him.
We all had many different conversations
that had a similar theme during our time, and got to be apart of God showing
himself to the people we met. It was a really amazing trip, and we were all challenged a lot in our own faith and why we believe what we do.
