To see our student loving on him, to be there with him and even crying with him, showing him the really like of Christ it was extremely humbling.

Ivet Mendoza, a student on one of the Europe teams, was able to watch God function in peoples lives as she shared His enjoy in the pink light district of the city. 1 encounter with a woman named Anna especially burdened her.

&#13

We approached (Anna) and it turned into about an hour-lengthy adore encounter in between Jesus and her. I felt and I saw Him fighting for her, loving her. I couldn’t think we have been truly being utilized for anything so beautiful, Mendoza said.

&#13

Mendoza continued to pray for Anna and two weeks soon after returning to the U.S. was delighted to hear from 1 of the men and women she worked with that Anna encountered one more brief-term team and asked them to pray with her. Anna had been so impacted by her American friends she truly approached the second team herself, asking if they have been American. She shared with enthusiasm how her American close friends had told her about Jesus.

For the very first time, Liberty sent a group to Zimbabwe, which was an answer to prayer for alumnus Albert Mavunga. Mavunga returned to his house country in 2008, following graduating from Liberty, to commence Smile for Africa, an organization that operates with orphans and kids affected and infected by HIV and AIDS. The trip was in partnership with WorldHelp.

The team went around the country distributing literature and medical supplies, visiting orphanages, clinics, shelters, and schools. They also helped Mavunga by operating on a farm he has constructed to assist sustain his function.

Perhaps the greatest influence the group had on Mavungas organization was not even planned. When unexpected complications delayed some of their function, the group was capable to invest the time with the fourth most strong particular person in Zimbabwes government, the Minister of Info. This connection led to an invitation from the president to go to the capitol, where the team met more members of Zimbabwes cabinet (the president was unable to attend). They were even invited to stroll in the VIP section of the countrys very first national parade.

&#13

MacIntyre (09, 13 M.A.R.), CGE monetary administrator, mentioned the trip opened his eyes to the significance of youngster sponsorship. The difference in circumstances for these with and with no sponsorship was drastic, he explained.

&#13

He mentioned he is thankful for his role with Liberty and the Center for International Engagement due to the fact he gets to see Libertys students make a distinction in the globe.

&#13

There is no telling the impact that Liberty has had for the kingdom of God. We send students all more than the globe we invite the students to be a element of that. I really think that Liberty is altering the world with the Gospel message through the Center for International Engagement.
