What if I don't know German or Norwegian? Can I still do an OYC? The OYC guys talk about a frequent concern of those wanting to serve abroad—language.
This week's featured OYC site is Berlin!
In 2016, the faith of our campus ministry in Berlin was tested in many ways. We decided to recommit to essentials such as holiness and trust. God blessed us with three students moving in and seven friends who started studying the Bible. One of them, Patrick, after being invited to church for many years accepted, studied for three months, and on December 3 was baptized. God continues to refine our campus ministry and we are all looking forward to moving more mountains in 2017.
You can learn more about the Berlin OYC site and other sites around the world at www.oneyearchallenge.org.
