NATALIE, WHAT WAS IT LIKE SHARING YOUR TESTIMONY AT THE ASSEMBLY AT SCHOOL 6 IN At first, I was absolutely terrified. I had been thinking about what I was going to say all day but when I got up out of my seat to walk on stage, my mind went blank. My heart was pounding a mile-a-minute and couldn’t seem to swallow the lump in my throat. I was so scared about giving my testimony to so many strangers, and more than half of them didn’t speak English! But when Daryl asked me to share, the words just poured out of my mouth. And when I was done, it was like I was thrusted back into reality and walked nervously back to my seat. But I know God gave me the strength and courage I had prayed for. What I thought was amazing was that when the meeting was over, I asked my friends how I did and everyone I asked said the same thing. They said that when I got on and off the stage I looked terrified, but while I was speaking I looked confident and “professional.” Although I was scared at first, God gave me the courage and I feel that I have done what He had planned for me from the very beginning. Bottomline: GOD IS GOOD.

Nat's testimony was one of the highlights of the entire trip for me. I was so v proud of her willingness to share & put it out there to connect with the Russkie kids. She was the v first student (& only student that night) to share from the platform in front of 100 kids. While Natalia (as our Russian friends say it) was sharing Inna pulled away from her best friend who wanted to chat and Inna totally locked in on what Nat had to say. It was a God moment....
