Testimony from Jessica
Our first week in Sliven, Bulgaria started out with a very good plan. In the mornings we would visit the homes of different members in a local Roma church. In the afternoons we would get our hands dirty doing practical work at the house we live in. It started out great.
We visited the people and had blessed moments in their homes. However, heavy rainfall changed our plans, we couldn't work for a couple of days and just set around the house. I asked God why? Why all this time? He gave me an answer quickly. It was a gift. God was giving us time for ourselves. Our team is characterized by hard-working people and I (Jessica) had the impression, that God wanted to give us more free time than we had planned for this week. God wishes to have a deep relationship with us and this requires that we spend time with him. Many of us have to make important decisions because even the Discipleship training school has an end and most of us need a plan for the time after. We only find God's plan for us when we are silent and listening to God's voice. Therefore there was no reason for any of us to be frustrated. God showed us again that he wants to continue to encourage and reveal things to us through the little things. For this week it meant: Relax and listen to God's voice. And we'll keep this revelation of "the little things" in mind for the rest of our time here on outreach.
