together with the pastor of our church in Chennai, India

the youth group

When I started my missions internship in India with my Polish friend , Simon, we were asked right from the beginning to speak in the church and for the youth group . We did good, I am not a preacher , but I just said basic things from the Bible, I just presented the Gospel . At the end of the meeting, almost everybody came to us to shake our hands and to congratulate us for our preaching, and they were asking us what Bible schools we finished and things like that . We didn't know how to react, we just said " thank you " . The interesting thing was that we didn't do an extraordinary talk, but the people in the church and the youth group didn't have a good knowledge regarding the Scriptures . It was a challenge for us, but this thing reminded me that we have to know our Bible . We challenged the youth group to study more and we even asked them questions from the Bible every time we met with them . It was amazing to see that in few weeks, boys from the youth group started to come to our place to ask about verses that they couldn't understand . God worked there.
  
     I did my internship in two places , first three months in India, than I stayed one month home and then two months in Poland .  India was a hard place for me, with everything being so different . But God used us there and we were able to build relationships and to make friends and I think  lots of people there learned that Christian life is not that easy, it takes lots of work and sacrifices . God showed us this things and people around us were able to see that through us . 

the kids in the church New Life in Radom, Poland

After India, I though Poland will be so easy , but it wasn't like that . I went there with lots of expectations and that was a mistake, because Poland was so much harder spiritually . The place where I went, was so dark, full of people struggling with alcohol, lust , drugs , I was in a war every day .      God used this time to prepare me for Pitesti, Romania, the city where I am now .

  I  have been accepted as a full-time missionary and God opened lots of doors for me here with a local church. God led me to the city where I went for high-school , to a nice church , this church has asked me to help lead a soccer ministry with kids, in worship and I will also work with Roma (gypsy) people who are struggling and need Christ. And I want to focus more on building relationships and discipleship . I have talked with the pastor of this church and with some other people from the church and they are ready to take me in their ministry and to allow me to serve them . And I also have the support of my home-church, the church that sent me .  I am excited because this could be a great opportunity for my church to be partner with another church and to be involved in some ministry  here in Pitesti .
