again by bus..

This week after long time I took bus back to Kosice from campus. Usually we as team go to Presov and from Presov by car. But anyway. It was kind of a good time for me to take bus. It definitely reminded me of good old times :)). Ivana my friend of mine took bus with me, and we had such a good time. I had opportunity to talk to her and get to know her little better. I was happy that I got to spent that time with her, and we could just hang out. other than that I met some new girls this week. One of them is Alzbeta. Me and Biba went to meet with her. It was pretty hard meeting. We talked about God and Jesus and faith and such, but her responses were not very clear or she didnt look very excited to talk about such things. I asked her after one hour if she likes to talk about spiritual things, and she said NO it is too personal for me. So when she said that I was wondering in my head why didnt she stopped us on the beginning?? But I think it was a good lesson for me to be more sensitive to how students respond or not respond. Well good to learn new things every day...

sharing her life...

This week I had first meeting one on one with Ivana (one girl I started to meet with and just helping her grow in her faith). We were just talking about God and such things, and she said that she had this conversation about God with her friends. I was encouraged to hear that, because she is a christian not very long time, and I am very encouraged by her courage. Ivana said that she told her friends that faith is not about going to church, but about personal relationship with God, and little bit explained about how Jesus died on cross for our sin. But she told me that she didnt know how to continue and how to explain it well. So I told her that we are going to talk about it soon, so she can know how she can effectively share her faith. :)))

back on campus..

First week back on campus we did a hot chocolate outreach :)). It was very challenging , because it is still very cold outside. But it is amazing to see that God can be glorified also when I am cold or not ready to do ministry. Many students came to us and wanted chocolate and so we had opportunity to talk to them. I think we have some girl that we would like to meet with them again, so I pray that it would happened. Wednesday was very encouraging for me, because one of "our" students Monika came to help us, and she did very good. It was so natural for her to do ministry. Praise the Lord for Monika.

caffe "Most" week...

Caffe Most is a christian caffe place in Presov. This week I spent almost all my time there. It is a good place to meet students one on one, because it is christian place- so no alcohol, cigarettes, and weird looks from people sitting around me :). On Monday I spent some time there with my friend Ivka to talk about Holly Spirit. It was good conversation. On tuesday we had prayer there, and wednesday I met Pauli there, and we talked and played a game " Europe" with Biba and Peta. It is very interesting game, you can definitely find out how smart you are or also how not very smart you are :)). In this game you answer questions from different topics, such as culture, sport, history, geography and so on... I think I really like this game. haha. Ok have a nice weekend...

how to become a Christian...

This past week was full of meetings with girls. And honestly on the end of our campus time on wednesday, I felt like " if somebody else comes to me and asks me how they can become a Christian, I would die". I really am tired and I feel like I need lots of rest and sleep, and rest and sleep. It does not mean that i am not thankful for the privilege that I have in my job to share my faith. I am just tired. But anyway I think that most interesting meetings I had on wednesday. I met one of my friends, we know each other for several years, and she is student. But I was thinking how can I find out if she gave her life to Christ. And so this wednesday I decided that I am going to ask her question " how can someone become a Christian?" And so her answer told me what I wanted to know and we find out that she didnt give her life to Christ several years ago. And so I shared with her about Christ again and on the end I asked her if she would like to give her life to Christ and she said "I can not, I dont have faith" . I was so sad and frustrated that I can not do anything to make her believe. But what I have learned from this situation is that it is not my job to make her believe. I can share with her and answer her questions, but just God can open her heart and give her faith. So it was good lesson...

I do love my job...

Yes I really do love my job, I am so thankful that God gave me such a perfect gift to do this job. I love talking about Him, and cant imagine to not do it as everyday job, haha. This past tuesday we invited students to come and hear talk about christianity and God and Christ. We wanted to have entertaining name for the talk, so we named it "Grill a Christian". Yes it can sound different ways for different people. So yes it did. In the dorms where we have our meeting there are some ladies that work there, and give us keys every week for the room we are in. So they said that they are strong believers, and so they do not agree to have such a name for some talk. But in Slovakia if somebody says that they are strong believer it usually means that they are traditional believer, and has nothing to do with personal relationship with God. And so we really wanted to have good relationship with them, so we tried to explain it to them, but it didnt really help. So we had the talk "Grill a Christian". One girl named Monika- who just trusted Christ with our Miska, and is new new believer came to that talk, and at one point she said in front of all the people that came there, that she would like to say something. So she did, and she shared her faith with all the students there :))). We were so amazed from what God can do thru such a young christian. Our speaker was Lubo Badiar, maybe you know him. It was such a good talk, and students had such a good questions, questions that didnt want to grill Lubo but questions that were really good and deep, and I was very thankful for that :)). So after talk we were leaving the dorm and we see Monika sharing her faith with one of the ladies that were against our talk, and the lady was crying. So yes miracles do happened, and I want to be able to see them and be encouraged by them. So thankful...
