Hi, everybody,

Let's share what we got out of the ILC!

My personal biggest challenge as for my life of a disciple  - that I got from the ILC - is the one on evangelism. Listening to so many great preachers and examples of converted people and Maher AlHinn of course - I just do not see how can I have any more excuses about being such a lukeworm and not talk more about our common faith in my relationship with the people I know and with those I do not even know yet.

Another one - about the character - was from my personal short interractions with the Elders' Wives. It is a blessing that we have these women in our international fellowship. I really had so much to learn - expecially impressive that gentle and quiet spirit they have - and yet their convictions are so deep. They are always willing to listen and to help. It is a great encouragement and a challenge for me - women like Gloria Baird, Teresa Ferguson, Nancy Mannel and others.

 

Would be great to hear form you as well!

Love

Masha

Well, there were so many lessons that I still haven't had enough time to work through my experiences and thoughts. What impressed me greatly was the strength and depth of convictions - I'd like to have such. And total commitment despite all hardships. The major feeling is refreshment of my faith the feeling I need to transfer to conviction.

Hi all.

Here is what I got from that awesome conference we had in Kiev.

First of all, the way how the kiev disciples served us was so inspiring and humbeling to me. I felt taken care and loved, not just me but all the disciples from albania. On our way back we all were sharing .

1. I should naver fear, case if am afraid God can't use me. I am making my faith sharing as a life stile, I have allways invitations with me and when I buy something on the shop I leave an invitation, or when am walking on the street I look for people and invite tham to church. It is giving me so much joy.

2. I should not come down from the cross. No mater how hard life may look. God is still God and He is grater than the problems I or we have. Leading the church here in Albania and feeling that responsability it is hard when you are 27 years old and need a lot of training, but never give up.

To God be the Glory.
