Jesus’ Success

Written By: Anne Reifenberger

Today when I woke up I was pretty nervous about the upcoming day. I didn’t know if people were going to accept Christ or not. On the bus ride over I was pretty tired and just tried to get some sleep.

When we got to the place I got paired with Karen as my teammate. I have really been enjoying getting to know a lot of the adults I haven’t really talked to at church before. They have all been really awesome and just fun people to learn from.

After we got to the house I realized that we were the team with the closest home which for me meant “No walking!”.

Each and every house we went to today accepted Christ. They seemed very happy about it and were glad to know that Jesus loved them.

The third house we went to was interesting. It was a local bar/ home. They basically would sell alcohol to anyone who came into their home. Karen did the Evange-cube because I had done it 3 times before. Karen was awesome with it and all the men in the home accepted Christ!

I also got to play soccer with the Ethiopian kids. I quickly noticed that the girls were not chasing after the ball as much and playing. I would run after the ball to try to get the boys to pass to me a lot and they would just laugh whenever I actually got the ball. I am very thankful that I can play sports in Ethiopia because I love to play games and run around.

Today was an amazing day and I am thankful to be a part of the Lord’s work in this country. I hope that everyone is doing well wherever you are at and enjoying each blog.
