well, where to start!
the project (as the campus crusade people call it) was really amazing.
there was a team of 6 people from ukraine who sort of helped run it,
the watson family (the campus crusade people for Georgia), and quite a
few Georgians who were mostly orthodox.
the first day I was really sort of scared. mostly because i just
found out that they were almost all orthodox and were not used to the
whole singing thing. and then the rest of the scaredness is just the
insecurity that comes along with not knowing what people are talking
about unless it is translated for you. yes, they almost all (except
one) spoke english at least okay, but it's not their most comfortable
language, so they don't use it unless they have to! but it went so
well though. they LOVED to sing, and their favorite song was, "we
wanna see".
the lyrics:
WE WANNA SEE JESUS LIFTED HIGH
A BANNER THAT FLIES ACROSS THIS LAND
THAT ALL MEN MIGHT SEE THE TRUTH AND KNOW
THAT HE IS THE WAY TO HEAVEN
WE WANNA SEE
WE WANNA SEE
WE WANNA SEE JESUS LIFTED HIGH
STEP BY STEP WE'RE MOVING FORWARD
LITTLE BY LITTLE WE'RE TAKING GROUND
EVERY PRAYER A POWERFUL WEAPON
STRONGHOLDS START TUMBLING DOWN
so that was pretty amazing. and I can't even begin to tell you the
rest. the ukranian team was so wonderful. and i really made a few
good friends that i pray will last for the rest of my life. and the
changes that we saw in the hearts of the Georgians were really
miraculous.
for example, there was this one girl who really didn't think that
there was a connection between orthodox and protestantism. she of
course thought that orthodox was right and we were not really, or at
least we had a lot of things wrong. but the last night we were all
sharing what we learned and what our favorite part of the project was
and stuff, and this girl stood up and told us that she really learned
a lot. that she now sees that there is only one God between orthodox
and protestantism and He is the same for both of us. and many girls
said that they really had the desire to read the Bible now. of course
they still have a lot to learn (don't we all) but i was really amazed
to see how much ground was taken in such a short period of time!
so, that's all to say that the project was so blessed by God and He
was so there. i totally have more stories and such, and i'm sure they
will come out some time or another!
