WOW! God is at work!

Today, we had our first volunteers meeting before we start regular groups for students in L'viv Convervatory. Not many people have come (3 volonteers and 1 student - all believers), BUT this 1 person that came was worth 10 others that could have come...

Her name is Alina and she is a 1st year orchestra conductor student. Even though I was suppose to lead the meeting (telling people about the "Identity" project and how everyone could be involved) I thought that Alina was ready (in a good way) to lead that meeting for me!!:-) She is such a full of ENERGY and PASSION for the Lord person...

Alina was asking questions half of the time at the meeting and ended up taking 25 copies of the Gospel of Mark "Identity" with her and about 70 invitations to the Bible study group next week. She also almost offered to start a Bible study group right away at the dormitory, where she's living!:-) (can you believe this?)

Wow, I have to tell you, today, it was such a lesson for me how God can turn things around in the matter of minutes. Just before our meeting today I was a bit frustrated that we again were not able to gather more volunteers for this team meeting (overall we have about 12 potential people, but most of them canceled 2-3 days before), but about 5-10 minutes into the meeting I've realized - we do not really need that many, if all of them are like Alina!! It truly was AMAZING to watch.

So, we are all ready now for the FIRST Bible study meeting next Wednesday, with still many posters to hang and many invitations to be hand out. Please, pray for Alina and for all volunteers team, as we prepare. Pray for the MIGHTY work of God in the hearts of students and professors of the L'viv Concervatory.

P.S. We now have surveyed 92 students and 51 of them have given us their contact information. These 50 people we also plan to invite to our meetings via e-mail or phone. It will be exciting to see what will happen next week.
