И, всё-таки, Армения — чудесная страна! Сколько сердец она покорила! И вот ещё одно — сердце этого молодого человека (что на фотографии). Daan van Aken из YMCA Нидерландов делится своими впечатлениями от посещения Армении и рассказывает, как изменилась его жизнь.
Daan van Aken: My life changed after Armenia
One of the participants of Catch the Vision seminar is sharing his unique experiences and impact of the event.
I had a really good time, my life changed after Armenia. I have noticed that when you pay attention to all the details in social life, people will recognize it and copy that in their own life.
The first step of “Do No Harm” is actually to do no harm. From the YMCA perspective it really works to start with your own. If you are changed than you can change other people. The fun is, it is very simple, because the way you are changed affects people and they will change automatically. When they change they will change other people too.
Thanks a lot for all the ideas, life changing methods, hope and spirit, faith and that I could experience this event. The day I got back I went to the Church and I was touched by the spirit. This week was something I will never forget, never stop speaking about and will experience as a stepping stone which I can build on.
Bible, Matthew 7:24-27
24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
The conference is that rock, the rock I can build on. With this rock I can hear the words, practice the words and learn to be a wise man.
Thanks guys and Vardan.
