What I liked the most about my Titus was the partnership and service of the local church.
In Magnitogorsk in Russia, we were able to work with one church for 3 weeks – teaching kids as well as grandmas, teaching during camps, bible seminars, youth groups,
house groups and Sunday service. This church was so active!
I was blessed by the hunger of the people. As soon as we arrived, they started sharing their expectation of our time together. And they took everything they could from us,
they were so eager to learn. It was such a privilege to see theface of many people being filled with the truth. I loved seeing people discovering that they can understand the Bible on their own and study it themselves. I loved having people coming up to us, asking if they can teach what they’ve learnt to others as they’d been so blessed and impacted by those teachings. I loved praying for people at the end of the sessions as they wanted to be free by the truth. It was great seeing people encouraging each other through the teaching they had just received. I remember a woman encouraging a sister about God’s character 2 days after
the seminar. They were applying the teachings in their lives and letting it bring life in them. Truly the Bible is an extraordinary book that keeps transforming lives among different nations, cultures, ages and time period and it is a privilege to be part of the process of seeing people’s lives transformed and changed by the Word.
