Life is very precious. It sounds like a cliche, doesn’t it? It seems to me that to know the price of life, the one has to face death in this or that way. At that very time some questions like: “Why do I need all of this? Who needs it? What is the purpose?” begin to arise in your head. We do not control time, which we have on earth. We don’t know what will happen to us in a moment, as one Bulgakov’s character said: “the bad news is not the one, that people die, but that people die all of a sudden”. That is why I think we should value seconds and minutes given to us.

Not a bad beginning, isn’t it? Therefore God gives us priceless time, it only depends on us how we will decide to spend it.

Being a child I always wanted to believe in wonders and miracles, in people’s kindness and decency. Still as a child (happens to adults too) I often failed and was disappointed, but I refused to accept the fact that there was no model of honesty and honour. And I was right I found what I was looking for in God. I found the source of love, hope, truth, faithfulness in Christ, and I think that life without Him is senseless.

All real and authentic can be found only in God.

That is why I think that it is necessary for me to take part in MI7. It is an awesome opportunity to glorify God, to see His miracles, His power, and convince of the fact that His faithful to His words. Also I will be able to share with people my age the hope and joy in God.

Many people think that Christian life is boring, uninteresting, full of various rules, restrictions. I can’t agree: MI7 project is a wonderful opportunity to tell about it.

Project is a great chance to get to know people who have really committed their lives to Christ. The time of fellowship is precious, and also many of them may become my example, inspiration, just my friends. MI7 for sure will be a special experience, but most important it will be something that won’t be done in vain.

During 3 years already I like to watch how God unites people of different countries, different views, tastes, interests for one reason. People are ready to leave their plans, homes, countries to serve the Lord, to praise His name. This year I want to join a team of people, who are ready to changes God will make within them and through them.

One of my reasons may sound selfish; however I really want my friends to know Christ as I do. Project is good opportunity not only to tell them about God but also to show God’s love through simple things like attitude to some issues, friendship etc.

I enjoy reading and watching movies. I like to observe people’s lives, to see their mistakes, their way of solving the problems, I like to learn from them. In books I met strong and independent people, also I saw low and mean people. I was thinking for myself-who I wanted to look like. But the truth is that watching the life doesn’t the same as live it. I need to cope with a challenge not some heroine of the book or movie. I would like to live an interesting life, I consider project the opportunity to live for real, to be blessed.

I glorify God that gave me salvation and helped to realize that I don’t have to pretend somebody else to be loved and respected, He gave me confidence that He’d be near and wouldn’t live me alone. I feel obligation to share with others what God did for me, that is why I want to partake in the project.

I am grateful to God for this project, for the opportunity to be a part of it, to be a witness and a partaker of everything God prepared for me this year. I want to live the life for God, because, perhaps I am repeating myself here, all real and authentic is in God.
