Heidelberg, Germany
鈥淚n Heidelberg, everyone travels on the weekends, so coming home on Sunday and having
that worship time and Bible study prepares us for the week to come.鈥� Alex Booth
Shanghai, China
鈥淚n a stimulating city like Shanghai, it can be very hard to set aside time to pray
and just be with the Lord. However, it definitely encourages creativity. I鈥檒l often
go to the local parks and just take in the natural atmosphere for a recharge. Even
just walking in the city opens my eyes to the different ways God is present. The key
is definitely mindfulness. The second I let myself indulge in the frustrations of
the city (of which there can be a lot), I lose sight of the incredible opportunity
I have to be walking around in this place at this specific time in my life.鈥� Kelly Rodriguez
鈥淚 go to the college service at a church where Korean students studying abroad gather
to worship in Korean. They really make an effort to make you feel welcome.鈥� Richard Chung
Buenos Aires, Argentina
鈥�worship team is a wonderful and dedicated team, and I think it鈥檚 because of house church being
student-led that we have so many students attend every week!鈥� Elizabeth Waters
鈥淚 always look forward to house church, because it gives me an opportunity to hear
the Word presented by my friends鈥攑eople who are going through many of the same trials
and experiencing many of the same joys that I am. The messages are highly relevant
and often personal, a testament to the quality of community that we have been blessed
with and have fostered here in Argentina.鈥� Gathenji Njoroge
鈥淚 have felt encouraged and challenged by those around me to pursue God further and
deeper than before, and continue to ask questions and seek answers.鈥� Caroline Rubach
鈥�church is one of the highlights of my week! It is such a breath of fresh air to spend time
with God and be in his presence right before you start another school week.鈥� Balee Schwalb
