While I was in Romania our campus ministry organized a retreat in a former communist camp. We had a great weekend together with 120 students who are involved in our ministry. Every year we have two retreats, that last for a weekend, for high school and university students. Many of them became Christians in the last few months or year. These days were a good opportunities to build our friendship with them.Our main speaker was an old friend of mine from Albania: Bill Babione (who is American) and he was talking about "To be a leader". But one of the best part of this weekend was to listen many of the students sharing their testimonies.
Barbi’s story was one of the couple we’ve listened to. Barbi is a university student and she grew up in a non-Christian background. No-one in her close and extended family is a believer. She grew up not even hearing about God. When she went to university she met with Petra who is one of the volunteer leader in YTL. They were preparing together to run a marathon and going to the Iron Man competition. During this time Petra shared Christ with Barbi and she accepted Christ 6 moths ago. Petra started to disciple her and now Barbi is sharing her faith and stood up in front of 120 students and boldly shared how God has changed her life.
