So its a bit overdue for me to write a blog post about Kenya. (Actually its a bit overdue for me to write any blog post at all) But better late than never.<br />
A few weeks ago I was blessed and privileged with the opportunity to go to Kenya for a week. Why Kenya? Well, as many of you already know I have been working together with AFCOE (Amazing Facts Center of Evangelism)-Europe for the past couple of months as one of the staff there. Now starting this course (Mid-February) AFCOE-Europe has started an extension of the classes here in Kenya. They did this because many people in Africa are longing to be trained as missionaries and come to a school like AFCOE-Europe, but are not able to because of how difficult it is to get a visa for Africans. So now there is an extension of AFCOE-Europe in Rongo, Kenya and this is where I went and spent a week.<br />
The reason I went was to see what needs they had there, and to make sure things were running well, as well as to talk with the Evangelist who is overseeing the project down there and see how we can best support the project there. Then I would bring back a detailed report with me to Germany.<br />
<br />
But enough of why I went. Here's what happened when I went:<br />

Here is one of the first sights I saw in Kenya: the Rift Valley. I flew into Nairobi and were I was picked up by Evangelist Jared Oreto who is overseeing the project in Kenya. We then made our journey to Rongo by car, which took about 6-7 hours. Nairobi is up on a plateau, and this picture is taken when we were coming down from the plateau overlooking the valley. </div>

His ministry does a number of things from preaching, to singing, to putting messages on the radio, to selling books at a little shop in Rongo. This is really a man of faith and God is really blessing his efforts there.</div>

And no there aren't elephants and lions running around everywhere, they are just in the big game parks so I didn't get to see any of them.</div>

So many people in this world are in utter darkness, but God is light, and has also called us to light the world with the knowledge and glory of Him. When we came out of the darkness it was amazing to see everything in the light again. So it is the same, and much greater, when people who are in darkness come into the light of God's love for them.</div>

It was only about 2 and a half hour bus ride from Frankfurt, and I got a good deal on the tickets. I left Friday morning and returned Sunday morning, so it was just a short trip.<br />
My friend picked me up at the Hauptbahnhof (Main Station) in Cologne and then since it was almost 2 o'clock in the afternoon we decided to look for some place to eat. But since my friend has only been there in Cologne for a couple months studying he didn't really know where to go to eat, so we ended up just getting some some stuff at the grocery store for the next couple of days and then heading back to his apartment. Then when we got there we just ordered pizza.<br />
Anyways enough details about the food.<br />
<br />
I really think that God worked it out for me to visit my friend at just the right time. He has been going through some difficulties in his life, and we were able to talk and share with each other and pray together. It was really some blessed time that we spent together. I don't believe that anything in our life is a coincidence. I really believe that God really does care greatly for his children here on earth, and that He does everything for their good.<br />
<br />
After praying and eating together my friend and I went out to explore Cologne. It started getting dark, but It was kind of nice to see the city lit up at night. We went to the KölnerDom (Cologne Cathedral) and we also went out on he bridge across the Rhine to view the city. After an hour or two we headed back to his apartment and got to bed.<br />
<br />
The next day we headed to the local Seventh-day Adventist Church in Cologne. It was a very warm and welcoming church, and what was a real blessing was that they had an English Sabbath School group! It was led by an American Pastor who is starting up an English Speaking church in Cologne. For church the German pastor along with some of the members shared an experience they had in Mozambique this summer building a school.<br />
After Church a family invited my friend and I over for lunch. They are from Indonesia but have been living here in Germany for quite some time. My friend also is from Indonesia. So for lunch we had Indonesian food, which was very good. The family was very warm and friendly to us.<br />
After eating we sang a few songs and then with one from the family as a tour guide we again went to visit the Altstadt (Old part of the City) in Cologne. She was very knowledgeable about the city and gave us a very good tour. Then we returned to their home and they shared some more food with us, which was a great blessing. It really was a wonderful Sabbath.<br />
<br />
We then headed back to my friends apartment, talked some and then went to bed. In the morning we ate, and then I had to get to the bus station, and then I headed back to Frankfurt.<br />

This is where God asks Solomon what He can give him, and Solomon asks for Wisdom. But I didn't even get to the main part of the story. I got stuck on verse one.<br />
<br />
"And Solomon made affinity with the Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaohs daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall of Jerusalem round about."<br />
<br />
At first it doesn't look like there is much of interest in this verse, but look at it again. "Solomon made affinity with the Pharaoh king of Egypt." Other Bible translations render this word "affinity" as "Alliance" or "Contract." Then it goes on and says that Solomon "Took Pharaoh's daughter." Basically he married Pharaoh's daughter. So we have Solomon, the king of Israel, of God's people, making an alliance with a worldly king and even marrying his daughter. This was definitely not according to God's plan.<br />
First off God commanded the Israelites not to make any covenant or treaty with the pagan nations surrounding them in Exodus 23:31-32:<br />
<br />
"And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee. Thou shalt make no covenant with them nor with their gods."<br />
<br />
Now sure, you could make an argument that here God is only talking about the people who are in the land of Caanan, not in other parts of the world. But I think the underlying concept is that by making an alliance with a pagan nation it would make it easy for the pagan gods and customs of that nation to be absorbed by Israel. This was ultimately what God was concerned about.<br />
Also prophetically in the Bible, Egypt represents Atheism. (See Exodus 5:2)<br />
<br />
There was another huge mistake that Solomon made though. He married Pharaoh's daughter. God had commanded the Israelites not to marry anyone from any other nations besides Israel in Deuteronomy 7:1-3:<br />
<br />
1. "When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusties, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;<br />
2. "And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:<br />
3. "Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son."<br />
<br />
(Now Verse 2 is a topic for another study and is just in there for context.)<br />
Verse 3 shows us that God did not design for the Israelites to marry non-believers. Why is this? Well Amos lays it out for us. "Can two walk together, except they be agreed."(Amos 3:3) So now of course we could give Solomon the benefit of the doubt and say that this Egyptian Princess had been converted, or that he converted her after she was married to him, but this even is dangerous. Later on Solomon marries other women who aren't of his faith, and this turns out badly for him. Look at 1 Kings 11:3, "And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart." Now the fact that he had so many wives is not what God wanted in the first place, but aside from that fact we see that Solomon must have thought himself immune to his wives religion. But they ended up turning his heart far away from God.<br />
<br />
Thus we see the downfall of Solomon at the very beginning of his "Ministry" or his reign. Is it possible that we as Christian young people can make the same mistake as Solomon? That right at the time we begin of working for God that we fall into temptation and marry a non-believer, or even a christian with beliefs that are different than our own. We could even marry a someone with the same beliefs as us, but who doesn't have the same mission as us, to carry the gospel to the world in this generation.<br />
Now maybe you are thinking about that one couple you know who got married, and one was a Christian and one wasn't and the Christian one ended up converting his or her spouse. I'm not doubting that this can happen. But 9 times out of 10 it doesn't end up that way. That's the exception. Sometimes Satan can even allow that to happen to someone so that others will stumble. They see that it worked for them, so it will work for me. But then it doesn't.<br />
I know that I'm probably not the most knowledgeable person in the subject, and I personally don't have any experience in this field, but I do see the example of Solomon, and of other young people who lose a lot, if not all of their usefulness for God because they made wrong decision in who they married. We are called to a high standard, especially in these last days.<br />
<br />
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?" -2 Corinthians 6:14<br />
<br />
"And I will make thee swear by the Lord, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among who I dwell." -Abraham (Genesis 24:3)<br />
<br />
"Do not plow with an ox and donkey yoked together." -Deuteronomy 22:10<br />
<br />
"Can two walk together, except they be agreed?"-Amos 3:3<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't make the same mistake as Solomon. Live up to the standard God has set for us. </div>

I had a lot of work to do in the office here at AFCOE-Europe in the morning, but after lunch I had an appointment to meet with a Afghan man I met a couple weeks ago.<br />
<br />
A couple of weeks ago I visited a mosque here in Frankfurt just out of curiosity, and to see if I could ask some questions about what they believed. There I ended up meeting this man who is from Afghanistan. He used to work with the American military in Afghanistan as a translator and project coordinator. He has been living here in Germany for quite some time though and is studying here. I asked him a few questions about Islam and what he believed, and he answered all my questions. After talking for about an hour I said that I had to go, and he asked if we could meet again to talk together about these subjects. He even invited me to maybe come some time to his house and eat with him and his family some traditional Afghan food.<br />
<br />
Fast forward to today. Like I mentioned above, this afternoon I went and met with this man at the mosque. He went in and prayed, and I waited outside. Then He asked me if I wanted something to drink, so I said "yeah sure." So we went in a room attached to the mosque and there were a few other men there and they poured me a very small cup of water. It was kinda weird, but I drank the water. Then my friend turned to me and said that the water is from Mecca and that someone had brought it back from there. He also said that it is special water than can heal you if you are sick. It didn't taste like anything special to me, but anyways, after the small drink I walked with my friend and his 4 year old son to his friends house which wasn't far away.<br />
We were graciously welcomed into this other mans home and we sat in the living room and I asked my friend questions about his faith, his family, Islam, and Afghanistan. It was quite a nice discussion. We were even able to talk about some stories from the Bible about Lot and Ishmael. This man though would make a great Christian. He is very dedicated to helping others. He even said that the way to love Allah (God) is to help people who need help.<br />
After about an hour and forty-five minutes of talking I was about to leave, but then they told me that there was a supper prepared and that I was invited to eat with them. They also said it was a huge part of their culture to feed their guests. So I decided to stay and eat with them.<br />
The food was traditional Afghan food. There was rice, some vegetables, salad, some chick peas, and Chicken. (I ate everything but the chicken of course). It was all very very tasty. And when we ate we sat on the floor and used our hands to eat with some Afghan flat bread. It was quite an interesting experience.<br />
After eating I had to head back to the AFCOE House, but was left with the promise from my friend that we would meet again. I feel very welcome with these Afghan people. In some ways they could teach us something about hospitality.<br />
<br />
So please pray for my friend and his family. He is married and has two sons. One of his sons is sick with some type of Virus in the hospital so please pray for him especially. Also pray that God will give me the words to speak with this man when we talk, and that I can also share my faith while I build a relationship with him.<br />
Pray for Muslims around the world though. God didn't put 1.6 billion people on this world not to be reached with the Gospel of Jesus' love. So pray that God sends people to work with these wonderful and hospitable people around the globe.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02945416688857964163noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210679185758559206.post-43390092684410993012014-09-18T21:21:00.003+02:002014-09-18T21:27:01.077+02:00SUGAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - or not. So it's been awhile since I've posted on my blog, but now that things are settling down after a crazy busy summer, hopefully I'll have more time to write some posts and testimonies and stuff.<br />
<br />
I'm back in Germany, and I'm going to be working with AFCOE-Europe as Outreach Coordinator for the next 9-months. But also while I am here I decided to put myself to a challenge. And the challenge is not eat sugar, (white sugar, brown, sugar, Maple Syrup, Honey, Agave, Corn Syrup ect.) or anything containing sugar, (Pastries, Condiments, Peanut Butter, Jelly, Cereals, ect.) until Christmas. But I am not removing fruit from the diet as those fruits have plenty of fiber, and are also in their original state.<br />
Why do this? Cause I believe that in the western diet we get far too much sugar, and it is crippling on the immune system, and also helps cancer to grow, as well as harm the body in many other ways. So I'm doing it for health, but also to test myself, and work on self-control. I'm trying to strengthen the mental faculties by denying myself of something that I enjoy.<br />
Also, since I believe we are called to do the best service we can to God, I don't want to weaken my body and thus be less useful in the work for God.<br />
<br />
I have 3 friends who have already joined me in this challenge. If you want to, you can to. Test yourself. I challenge you to stop eating sugar until Christmas. Or even for a shorter period of time.<br />

So all these pictures are from Mainz. Which is a city we visited a couple weeks ago. Yeeeahhhh... I'm a bit late in uploading the pictures, but AFCOE-Europe is intense and i've been super busy. I know that's not a great excuse, but it is when your physical life takes precedence over your digital life. So anyways, sorry for being so late in uploading stuff to my blog, but I hope you enjoy these pictures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mainz was the city in which Gutenburg invented the Printing press. We went to a museum about Gutenburg and the history of printing, but we weren't allowed to take pictures, so these pictures are just of the beautiful city! Enjoy!</div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> Wow…. Just wow….. God is soo Good. I just want to tell you all a
powerful testimony that happened to me yesterday! It was crazy!!!!!!! We serve
an amazing God!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> Well the story starts two weeks ago. A
couple of us AFCOE-Europe students go jogging in the morning a couple of Miles,
and while we go we try to learn some memory verses while we run. - (It
will make sense why I am saying this later.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">
Then this last weekend we were at a Youth Congress called Youth in
Mission. And while we were there they fed us some food, and there was extras
every day. (apples, granola bars, jam packets, ect.) And every day Anna &
Natalie (Two sisters here at AFCOE) took some of these extras just because they
thought they might need the or something. But they didn’t really eat any of the
food that they took. So we come to the end of the congress and they realized
that they had a lot of food saved up from the different days! They had a bunch
of apples, and bars, and jam, and they didn’t know what to do with it all! - (Again this will all make sense later, as
to why I am telling you this.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">
Ok so now we fast forward to yesterday. Yesterday we had classes and the
for the last session we went outside into the garden. It was so nice and warm
and sunny! Anyways it was a good class. But afterwards because of the sun
Natalie was feeling itchy on her arms. So for outreach in the afternoon we went
to the business district in the city instead of going door-to-door in our usual
specified area, so that we could get her something to put on her arms. So we
started walking to the Apotheka (Pharmacy) and we tried to give surveys along
the way. (I found out afterwards that Natalie was really praying that God would
use this issue of being itchy to somehow reach someone on Outreach) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">
Anyways, we weren’t finding many people who were interested or had time
to take the survey, and we couldn’t even find people who would take GLOW tracts.
But we were still joyful, and the sun was still shining, and we got the creme
for Natalie’s arms. Then we started to head back to the AFCOE-Europe Center and
continued searching for people who we could talk with. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">
We met one guy who spoke German and some English who talked to us for a
bit, and he was interested in possibly attending the English classes we will be
holding on a weekly basis.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">-Side note, Natalie and I were planning
on having a shorter outreach yesterday than usual because I was going to be
having the short devotional thought for prayer meeting in the evening. (God had
other plans.)-<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">
So, after talking with that one man we started walking through this
small park that is near the train station. And I’m letting Natalie see who we should
speak to. (Because she is usually the one who starts off since she speaks
German) And we walk by a lot of people who are just sitting on benches enjoying
the wonderful weather. (she did give one glow tract to a man) But then she was
impressed to talk to these guys that were sitting on one of the benches. And
she starts in German, but they didn’t speak German, so she asked if they spoke
English, and they did! I then proceeded to give them the survey in English. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">
As I was doing the survey I got into a conversation with one of the
three men and found out that they were from Italy. (we found out later that
they were Romanians who were living in Italy) But these three men were here in
Germany looking for work, and they had been here for three weeks, and couldn’t
find anything. We also found out that they didn’t have any money and they were
going to spend the night sleeping in the park. One of the guys had just gotten
there when we did with a small loaf of bread and a liter of Coke, and we
figured that was all the food they had. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">
Then Natalie blurted out, “We can bring you three sleeping bags!” And
unfortunately the first thought that went through my mind was, “WHAT?!?! How do
we know that these guys aren’t lying to us?” But immediately afterwards I
realized that those were not thoughts that Jesus would have thought. So we told
them that we would bring them the sleeping bags in about 20 minutes, and took
off. But actually before we left one of the guys (whose name was Mario), said
that when we came back he would have a question for me about God. I said, “ok.”
(Oh he also mentioned something to us about how he knew some Adventists back in
Italy)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">
It felt like only two minutes and we were back at the AFCOE-Europe
Center rushing to find the sleeping bags. Also on the way back Natalie and I
both thought of the apples, bars and jam from Youth in Mission. So we collected
those too, along with some bread and plates, to bring to these guys. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">
But we don’t own the sleeping bags, they belong to AFCOE-Europe, so we
had to call our director and ask if we could loan them to these guys for the
time that they will be here. So Natalie called him, and he was kind of
skeptical at first (who wouldn’t be) but he agreed to let us bring them to
these men. We only had to get their contact information. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">
So we gathered up the food and the bags and were heading out the door,
when our Director Reed called again. He talked to Natalie again and said that
he had just run into two of the AFCOE students from last year (a husband and
wife). And one of these Bible workers spoke Italian! So Reed said that he would
bring them and meet us in the park with these men.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">
Again Natalie and I headed out the door, we prayed outside, and then
hurriedly headed back to the park. On the way we met Goran (another
AFCOE-Europe student from Serbia) coming back from outreach, who also speaks
Italian, and we invited him to come along and meet these men. So he went with
us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">
So, we make it back to the park and Goran starts talking to the men in
Italian, which was really good because one of the men only spoke Italian. The
men also greatly appreciated the food that we brought. Then after they talked
for a bit I asked Mario what his question was. He said that he had many
questions, and that he had been baptized or almost baptized (I’m not sure) into
an Adventist church like 15 years ago. But there was one question that was
bothering him the most at the moment, and that was, “Why, if God is such a good
God, then why are there bad things in this world, and why am I having to go
through such trials now in my life?” (I’m just paraphrasing because I don’t
remember his exact words.) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">
Now the amazing thing is that Natalie sent up a prayer that I would know
exactly where to turn in the Bible, and “BOOM!” God showed me where to turn! I
had been studying a chapter on Christ Object Lessons on the sowing of the wheat
and tares, and studying the same story in the Bible. And this story fit
perfectly with what this man was asking, so I felt impressed to turn to the
story in Matthew 13. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">
I read him the parable of the tares and he understood what it was
talking about, but He still wanted to know if God was with him and why He was
allowing him to go through these struggles. So I explained to him that the rain
falls upon the just and the unjust. And then God brought to my mind to read to
him Psalm 27:14. (This was a verse that we memorized while running, that’s why
I mentioned it before. So I turned there as I was talking to Mario, and
mentally argued with the Holy Spirit and was like, “Are you sure God???” And I
tried to find another verse, or think of another verse that fit in this
situation, but it was like my mind went totally blank except for this verse. So
I read it to him, “Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall
strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">
Mario said that verse was exactly what he needed. And he said that He
was so discouraged about his situation, but he knew that God had sent us to
him. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">
During this time our director and his wife, and the couple with the lady
who speaks Italian showed up and started talking with the two other men. We
found out that they were actually Romanians that had been living in Italy and
that they had been tricked into coming to Germany to look for jobs. So we left
them the sleeping bags and the food and headed back to the AFCOE-House. As we
were going back Goran said something to me that really got me thinking. He said
something to the effect that it probably quite amazing to these men that we
trusted them. I mean you see someone on the street and you don’t know why they
are there, or if they are being truthful. But I think that sometimes you need
to trust people, (to a certain extent of course) especially if the Holy Spirit
is leading you. Trust is one thing in this world that is lacking. And sometimes
we may need to show someone love and trust them to give them food or bedding,
even if they may abuse that trust later on. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> But God is just so amazing! He just works
everything together for good!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

This is the Cathedral in Worms. Martin Luther was never allowed to enter the building because when he went to Worms he was already pronounced a heretic, and heretics were forbidden to enter churches.</div>

This was the place where Martin Luther made his famous speech, "I cannot and will recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Amen." This plaque is outside in a garden. The building in which Luther made his famous stand against the forces of evil was destroyed by the Counter Reformation (The Jesuits).</div>

We walked over to the main street here in our part of the city, and we asked a few people to fill out the survey. A few people complied, but they didn't want to give their name and address. Then I saw a short little man up ahead and suggested that Natalie ask him, because he didn't seem to be in too much of a hurry. So she asked if he would take the survey, and he said yes. Therefore she proceeded to ask the first question on the survey, and just like that he opened up faster than a cork flying off a champagne bottle.<br />
<br />
I never knew that one question could spark such a fountain of words! All of a sudden this man starts telling us all about all the surgeries that he has had, and how he has cancer, and then just tells us about all the bad things that have happened in his life. He is 76, and he had a former wife steal a lot of money from him. His car got struck by lightning on the Autobahn once or twice. He basically told us everything bad that ever happened to him.<br />
<br />
Unlike the Turkish guy we talked with a few weeks ago though, this Italian man, seemed to have a positive outlook on life. He was very happy talking with us (or to us), as if nobody had talked with him for years. He even invited Natalie and I to come and stay with him at his small castle in Sicily! Basically though he wanted to know why all these bad things happened to him, if God is a loving god.<br />
<br />
Now all this time this man is speaking in German to Natalie, and I am just praying and trying to understand at least a little bit of what he is saying. (I got the jist of it) Anyways, I was praying for a bit that Natalie would ask the man if we could pray for him right there on the street. And she asked him! And he agreed to it! Then, greatly encouraged by this, I started praying that God would open up this man to be interested in studying the Bible. And he was! He wanted a Bible and was open to Natalie suggesting that we study what God has promised in His word.<br />
<br />
He had us write down his Name, address, and telephone number so that we could get in contact with him! Natalie was also able to give him a book in German about the Promises of God. We ended up talking with (or listening to) this man for about 40 minutes! It was just another confirmation that people all over the world just want someone to listen to them and be their friend. Please pray for Natalie and I as we go to visit this man Gioacchimo this week.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02945416688857964163noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210679185758559206.post-26083814114907144542014-03-30T22:27:00.001+02:002014-03-30T22:27:37.795+02:00The Quest! We had quite an eventful evening here in Germany. Two of the AFCOE Students, Anna and Natalie, were just getting back to the AFCOE Center when they found an injured bird in the driveway, and they were trying to catch it. A few of us went outside when we saw the two sisters scrambling around in the garden after the little fellow. Finally, after a few frantic minutes, Anna succeeded in capturing the poor little guy. But what does one do for a little bird with a broken wing? Well unbeknownst to me, Germany has an Animal Emergency number to call for injured animals. So the sisters called the number and found out where to take the bird. (The bird was just a small one, and looked kind of like a Chickadee)<br />
<br />
So we found the address, and made a nice box for the bird so that he would be safe and somewhat comfortable. Then 5 of us (Natalie, Anna, Che, Adina, and I) loaded up in the AFCOE Car to bring our little patient to the Bird Hospital. It was probably a 20 minute drive to where we needed to go, and we were using my GPS, which was quite amusing, because it was in Miles and Yards, and was quite confusing to my European friends. (I finally changed it to Metric)<br />
<br />
Then we made it to the address that had been written down, and it was just a residential home... But, undeterred Anna and Natalie rang the doorbell. (They were really on a mission to save this bird!) It turned out to not be the right place, but the lady gave us directions as to where the people were who took in injured animals were. I guess the directions were misunderstood, and so we started walking up and down streets looking for any place that looked anything like an Animal Rescue place. It was a nice evening stroll through the neighborhood. Then we found a house with lots of birds on it, and so the sisters went up and knocked on the door thinking that maybe it was the place, but alas it 'twas not. <br />
-Side note: This is all happening at like 9 o'clock at night, just randomly asking people at their door if they were an Animal Rescue Home. (But I think that Anna and Natalie would have knocked on every door in the neighborhood if they needed to!) (Us Americans and Romanian, were just kind of along for the ride, and the adventure)<br />
<br />
Still undeterred in their quest to find this place the Sisters asked some people on the street if they knew where the place was, and surprisingly they did! So these people showed us the place, and we were able to give the little guy to a lady there who takes in the animals. She made some comment about how the Bird had almost as large an entourage as the President!<br />
<br />
So with the Bird safe and sound, we all headed back to the AFCOE Center. And we made it back in one piece!<br />
<br />
Just your average day at AFCOE-Europe and if you ever need an Animal Krankenwagen (Ambulance) just call us and we'll get the job done!<br />
<br />
Oh and we never did the give the Bird a name unfortunately...Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02945416688857964163noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210679185758559206.post-57579665622270179072014-03-24T11:31:00.001+01:002014-03-24T11:31:13.329+01:00Erfurt<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Wittenburg<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The second place we visited on our Reformation Trip was Wittenburg. This was the city that we spent the most time in, and it was kind of our home base for visiting all the other cities. We stayed in a Youth Hostel there. A Youth Hostel is kind of an inexpensive hotel for youth groups and such, and they are more like dormitories than a hotel. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The unfortunate thing about our visit to Wittenburg was that the two big churches in the city were covered with scaffolding and plastic, since they are restoring the buildings there for the 2017 Celebration of the Reformation, marking 500 years since Luther nailed the 95 Theses to the door of the Castle-Church in Wittenburg.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Other than that Wittenburg was a very nice and quaint little city/town with beautiful architecture!And it was amazing to be in the place where Martin Luther was. An amazing thing was that most of the cobblestones on the streets were from the period when Martin Luther was actually alive!!! So it could actually be possible that I walked on the same stones as him! (Not that it's that big a deal or anything)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But now here's some pictures, which you would probably rather see, than hear me talk about stones.</div>

This was very disappointing... This was the inside of the Castle-Church, they had everything covered with plastic, scaffolding and plywood. They had these pictures of it, but it's a poor substitute.</div>

This is the room where Martin Luther Translated the Greek New Testament into the German language in only 10 weeks!!! There is also a story that the Devil appeared to Martin Luther, and Luther threw his inkwell at the devil. Of course he missed, and ended up hitting the wall. (Most everything in this room was not original unfortunately.)<br />

Last week we had cooking classes that went very well! We had about 10-12 visitors who came out from the community. Last week we also had two tests. Then we left Friday on our Reformation Tour which we are still on right now.<br />
<br />
(I'll have to post some pictures in another blog post when we get back to Frankfurt cause it takes forever to upload photos on this internet here at the Youth Hostel.)<br />
<br />
On Friday we drove from Frankfurt to Eisenach, and saw the Wartburg Castle. This is the castle where Martin Luther was hidden in for almost a year. And this was where he translated the New Testament from Greek to German in a period of only 10 weeks. From Eisenach we drove up to Wittenburg where we are staying. We went to church at the small Adventist church here in Wittenburg on Sabbath, then Sunday through Today we have been having classes on the reformation, and taking tours of the city. Right next to where we are staying is the church where Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door. Unfortunately the whole church building is covered with scaffolding and plastic because they are restoring it for the 500 year celebration of the Reformation in 2017.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow (Thursday) we will be visiting Eisleben, where Martin Luther was born and where he also died. And on Friday we will be visiting Erfurt, where Martin Luther was a Monk.<br />
<br />
I'll try to write a blog post and post pictures this weekend when I get back to Frankfurt. <br />

Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02945416688857964163noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210679185758559206.post-70983467800394297502014-03-02T22:07:00.001+01:002014-03-02T22:07:49.005+01:00Turkish Tea So a couple days ago a few of us AFCOE-Europe students (Natalie, Anna, & Christoph) went to visit a man, Herr (Mr.) Omek, who is Turkish. When we got to this man's house he invited us in and had us sit down to talk. The others speak German fluently and so they were able to freely converse with the man, and for a bit I had no idea what they were talking about. But thankfully Christoph started to whisper translate to me what the man was saying.<br />
<br />
To start Herr Omek was talking about his family, and about how his son had stolen money from him, and how he had been cheated many times, and lied to, ect.. And basically he had a distrust in people, and thought that all they wanted was to get money from him. Then he told us about how he had some health issues which caused him not to be able to eat fruit, sugar, and some vegetables, and basically the only thing he ate, even from a young age, was meat. But then he continued to tell of his misfortunes, and how he had unfair bosses, and had to quit a few jobs. Then he told us that he was a butcher, and he explained how he would cut the meat, and prepare it, and season it. (This was all being translated to me by Christoph and Natalie, although I could pick out a few words and hand motions)<br />
<br />
It was quite funny whenever he started talking about meat to a bunch of Adventists, and just going into detail about it all. And there was even one point where he said that he just loves meat, and has it for breakfast, and lunch, and dinner, and sometimes even late at night!<br />
<br />
During this time he brought us out some cold bottled water and continued talking as if he hadn't talked to someone in years. Then he brought us out some Turkish tea. It was black tea (which yes, had caffeine) and it tasted horrible.<br />
<br />
Then somehow the conversation turned to more of a religious topic (this is actually what we were praying for) and the Herr Omek started talking about his religion (Islam) and how he prays, and how the mosque wanted him to pay too much money. Then He starts telling the story of how Abraham was about to sacrifice Issac on Mt. Moriah. And he told this story with such emotion that he almost started crying at the part when Abraham was about to bring the knife down on Issac.<br />
<br />
Right after this story we told Herr Omek that we needed to get going because we had already spent quite some time there. And Christoph felt really impressed to ask Herr Omek if we could bring a Bible next time and read about the stories of Abraham. Amazingly (to me of such little faith) he said that he would like to hear some of these stories from the Bible.<br />
<br />
But meeting with this man really again reminded me that people just want someone to listen to them, to be a friend to them, to spend time with them. Please pray for Herr Omek that God will soften his heart with the reading of the Bible, and with our friendship with him.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02945416688857964163noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210679185758559206.post-77509575005785665352014-02-25T19:33:00.001+01:002014-02-25T19:33:18.821+01:00Interesting Outreach So yesterday we went out to do outreach in Unterliederbach and Hoechst (Two "suburbs" of Frankfurt). I went out with our Instructor for the week: Daniel Pel. We went to the main street or Strasse, and then proceeded to the main shopping district in the town. When we got there we walked down the street, which was filled with people, and passed out Glow tracts in German to whoever would receive them. We would say "Bitte," as we handed out the tracts.<br />
<br />
-Side note: In Germany you say "Bitte," to say "Please," and "Your Welcome." (German is a strange language)<br />
<br />
After we ran out of German Glows we started to ask people if they would do a short health survey and we would give them a flier for a cooking school we will be having next week. Daniel speaks some German, so usually he started with asking if people wanted to do the survey, and if they spoke English we would do it in English. So we did this for a while, and met some very interesting people who spoke English. One man seemed to be a bit into Spiritual healing, and we were able to give him a Great Controversy, and it sounded like he would read it!<br />
<br />
Then we met an older lady who spoke good english (This is a rare thing among older people here in Germany) and she enjoyed talking with us quite a bit. You know, people really enjoy it when you listen to them, and really show an interest in what they are saying. But we were able to give her a book, and invite here to the cooking school.<br />
<br />
Then we ran out of Cooking School fliers, but we still had some books in my backpack. So Daniel decided that we would just go up to people and ask if they would want to read this book, and if so they could have it. First we gave away 2 Ivor Myer's books, on the War in Heaven in German, to some people who were really seemed interested in the covers and the information about the books. Then we gave away a German "Steps to Christ," to someone. Finally we were left with 2 English "Steps to Christ." If any books would be hard to give away it would be these, because they were in English, they had a title that makes it very obvious that it is a Christian book, and there is a picture of Jesus on the front. But we decide to try anyways, cause why not? The book wasn't going to do any good going back to the AFCOE Center.<br />
<br />
So we start walking down the street, asking people if they spoke English. Most people said they didn't. But finally we came upon a man who said, "I only speak English." Then we asked if he would be interested in reading the book and told him a bit about it. He said, "That looks interesting, I would like to read it," and so we gave it to him. It was actually quite amazing!<br />
<br />
We ended up giving away all the books that we had, and even talked with a Christian Bulgarian (When I say "talked" I mean we tried to talk with him with the little bit of German and English that he knew) and invited him to the cooking classes. We told him that we had some Students from Bulgaria and it sounded like he wanted to meet them.<br />
<br />
Among all of us AFCOE-Europe students we have had quite a few prospective Bible Study Contacts in just a week and a half. We have had good talks with many people and we have given away Christian books. Whoever says that you cannot do outreach in secular Europe is wrong. People are the same wherever you go in this world. Sure they may speak a different language, and yeah, maybe they have different cultures, but at the root of it, all people just want someone who will listen to them and someone who will smile at them. And everyone wants to have meaning in their life, whether they admit it or not.<br />
<br />
So, in summary, pray for us AFCOE Students here in Germany. Pray for the people that we will be meeting on the streets. Pray that we will find those who are seriously seeking for the truth.<br />

It was quite an experience visiting Frankfurt. For lunch we went to an authentic Italian Restaurant. The waiter came and asked what we wanted to drink. I wanted to be cheap and just ask for water like I would do in the states. Then the waiter (Who was Italian and didn't speak great English) asked, "Gas or no gas?" and I was very confused for a second. Then I kinda figured out that he must mean sparkling water or just regular. So I again, trying to be cheap just said, "No gas." Then the waiter promptly ask, "So you want it flat?" This question again confused me for a second. But I figured that flat was fine I guess. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then in a few minutes the waiter comes out with the drinks and gives me a wine glass and a small glass bottle of bottled mineral water. This was quite a surprise for me because in the USA when you ask for water they just give you a cup of tap water. Anyways, I ended up paying 2.50 Euros, which I could have just used to get another type of drink. It was pretty good water though.</div>

It is so amazing to have so many cultures, and so many languages under one roof, all unified with the same mission, the same goal, to see souls won for Christ. It reminds me of the verse: </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #001320; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"> It is has been a wonderful Sabbath evening here at AFCOE, with singing around the piano, prayer, and a documentary on the Reformation in Sweden. Not only did this documentary talk of the Reformation, but it talked of some stones in Sweden into which had been carved the plan of salvation, and the prophecies of the end times. This was back in the 1880's and 90's This link talks a little more about it - </span><span style="color: #001320;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">stenarnaropar.se/about/index.html </span></span></span></div>
