Hey all...
I wanna share a little bit about my life and what God has done in my life...
I am a belgian and i am almost 17 years old and for the background information, only one procent of the belgians is christian..
I was raised Catholic.. and i wasn't really thinking about who God was and what he could do in someones life... but a friend of me ... called me on this evening when i was 13 years old... he asked me if i wanted to go to a sportscamp... to play basketball ... well i just started to play basketball here in a team in belgium so i could wait to do that!! He also told me that people from the States came over to teach us some things from basketball.. it was a camp called " SportQuest"... so at that point i could wait so i went to that camp...
i was young and i played ball and i had a lot of fun... but i realised that some people were talking about the Gospel when there was a break... but i wasn't like really listening... i was like " Ok, let's play on ... " but not really listening to what they were telling us.
A year later sportquest came to belgium again... And i played ball there again... i still had a lot of fun... but i started listening to the testimonies of the people during the brake, i was like ok... sounds like great to have someone like that in your life but didn't really think further... and one of the days, a girl called Tiffany, gave her testimony... at that moment, my life just completely changed.. she was telling about her mom that had got cancer... and Tiffany started to pray really hard and her mom didn't have cancer anymore... a couple of months later her father died... and still she kept on believing and she went on with her life with one thing on her mind " LIVE FOR CHRIST TODAY ".... and when i heard her testimony.. i was just sitting there with my mouth open.. not knowing how to react, because Tiffany was crying and yea it was quite emotional over there... so i started to ask questions to people from the states till someone gave me a bible... and i was like happy and i started reading not knowing what i was doing... A good thing that there were some people who helped me understand the Gospel and a couple of months later i accepted Christ in my life...
Now i work for SportQuest in the summer and i also am one of the teammembers who spread the word in belgium... trying to reach people with His Word by sports... and I am so happy that i'm able to do that, that sportquest had such an impact on my life and that I found Jesus...
that was a part of my life that i just wanne share with you guys... thx for reading
God bless!!!!
