I recently received an email from a middle-aged man named Alex. Alex wrote, “Dear Luis, I was saved at one of your festivals in North Wales, UK, at the age of 17. I had no interest in God, the Gospel, or His church until I attended the festival.” Alex went on to explain that now, he lives in Romania with his family as a missionary. He wrote, “We work with teenagers in prison, and those in danger of winding up in prison.” Alex and his family have been there for several years now, and their ministry is continuing to grow. 

And just think… this all started because one person invited Alex to a festival. Because of that one courageous individual, hundreds, if not thousands, of teenagers’ lives are being changed today. It reminds me of Frank Chandler, my camp counselor who shared the Good News with me when I was 12 years old. It took courage, but because he was brave enough to share his faith, I have been able to share the Good News all around the world. 

Mark 16:15 in the Bible says, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” I encourage you to do just that yourself. Think of the impact you could have, just by sharing your testimony – your story - with one person. A child even!
