English club became the main big event at the beginning of spring in Odessa Campus Movement. We were blessed by the visit of a team of 4 volunteers from Columbia, Missouri. We had a good advertisement campaign thus we were able to sign up almost 100 people in four classes with different levels of English.
English club has always been my favorite strategy for Evangelism. We get to interact with students in most natural way, read passages from the Bible and discuss them with the students. At English Club it is possible to break a lot of stereotypes about Christians; we can build an atmosphere of love and care and also show that Christian life is not boring.
I met Valerie in my class and at our personal meeting after the club I shared the Gospel with her. She said that she always felt the presence of God in her life. Now she understands more about the sacrifice of Christ and the possibility of having a personal relationship with God. Please pray for her further spiritual growth.
And here is our new tool for evangelism – “What’s your worldview?”. This test helps students understand what is their worldview in life. Very often our students think they are Christians, but this test clearly shows them that they may be agnostics or apatheists (people who are indifferent to God) At the end of this conversation it’s easy and natural to share about what we believe and what the essence of Christian theist worldview is. This is exactly what happened with Tanya. She is an agnostic but I shared about the possibility of knowing God personally through Jesus Christ.
Please pray:
- For all the meetings that we hold after the English club, that students would like to learn more about Christianity
- For the upcoming mission trip for our volunteers to Ismail. This project is called Expedition. Our students go to work with the church youth in Ismail, teaching them the skills of sharing the Gospel and working with unbelievers. It’s the weekend of April 18-20.
-For our hiking Trip to the Carpathians
Alina, I just wanted to tell you how wonderful it was to meet you in December and how I love to check in on your blog to see how God is using you in His ministry!
