I lead worship this morning. It definitely didn't go as planned. I played Walk by Faith and definitely forgot the words. We only have a few lyric sheets since we forgot to print more off and when I get nervous I forget what I'm saying. But tomorrow will be better hopefully. Olivia and I are going to get together and rehearse a bit since when I play if I don't know the rhythm, I play in 6/8 instead of 4/4.
Today was the first day that I was on campuses and I spent the afternoon on Humboldt Universitaet zu Berlin. It's one of the 3 main campuses that we'll be working on. It's the philosophy, literature, economics school. It's really nice and really old. Austin and I were paired together and worked in the Mensa, which is the cafeteria. We grabbed some lunch before going to the south Mensa and finding a place to sit. We sat with this guy Stephan and had a really deep conversation. Our goal for today was just to have a conversation with someone but we moved into a pretty deep conversation. Stephan wasn't really interested in having a relationship with Christ, but we still spent time talking with him and trying to show him Christ. He grew up in East Berlin and was in communist training when the Wall came down. He said he was actually sad when the wall came down. We did our best to share God's love with him during the conversation. He wasn't against Christianity, or Islam; he just didn't feel that he needed a relationship with Christ.
After we got back to the hostel, we went over using the Knowing God Personally booklet as a way to start conversations and evangelize. I hope tomorrow the people we meet are just as willing to have spiritual conversations as Stephan was, and that we can actually share the gospel.
