]]> Well, finally I took part in “Mission Impossible” project for the first time. It was very special time. It was different from what I did before. I understood much and I changed many things in myself. I would like to say at once, it was difficult. It was especially hard during the apartment repair. I kept asking myself: why it was me who got this apartment where whatever we did was a mess? Later I realized that the Lord was testing me. I am the kind of person that when something does not work out I get nervous and angry, to cut it short I explode often. But this situation with the apartment did teach me to be humble and accept things as they were, not to give up, on the contrary to keep going. I was especially encouraged by David. I don’t know why but when he came to see what whas happening in our apartment, he began to calm and encourage us. I was flamed up. I was even ready to lay gypsum plasterboards on the kitchen instead of a professional who was supposed to do that. Such moments of life are very important. I would never have thought that through the project I will become more humble in my life. I also experienced the spirit of unity. It was awesome. I did not feel that for a long time now. Overall I grew up much spiritually during the time of participation in the project. Every day I felt God, maybe because it was difficult every day, and to whom else we should adress for help other than God? Anyway I felt His hand, His blessings. I really enjoyed helping people, but especially I liked watching people’s reaction to what we did, and also when they found out that people from the USA, the UK, Russia came to help and clean or do the repairs in the apartments, they were greatly shocked. It was a big testimony for them. We should use the method more often. I’ll be honest, this project flamed me up. It inspired me to do more and more for God, to commit myself 100%. This project also taught me to be more responsible. I don’t have any regrets that I took part in the project, the only thing I feel sorry for is that I didn’t participated in the project before. I knew that there would be changes in my spiritual life, I had a massive desire, I was ready to give away all the money, take all the Americans to my house, to do something for it. And remembering that strengthens my desire even more. I have the desire to burn more for God.

]]> What will change if I take part in the Mission Impossible project this summer?

I first heard about this project in 2003. Many of my friends took part in it and they were enthusiastically telling me about this project. They flamed me up and I really wanted to be a part of it but it often happened that I did not have an opportunity to participate; there were many reasons: camps, trips to the sea etc. The only way I could take part was giving the money, leaders had to raise. Now it is 2008. I have been trying to participate in the MI projects for 5 years. This year I said to myself: that’s it! I have to be there, I have to take part in it at least once. However there was an obstacle: I have been helping to run children day camps in Dahnivka (area in Cherkassy) for 3 years, and every year the camp’s dates coincided with dates of the MI project, this what happened this year as well. One day Anna Polischuk called me and offered me to be a leader in miDim project, I was happy still I did not agreed at once as I have never taken part in MI and it was a bit frightening to become leader at once, but because it was what I wanted for so long, I agreed. Later on it turned out that the dates of Dahnivka camp coincide with the project dates. I prayed, I knew that the pastor of Dahnivka church would be offended by my decision. I told everyone that I would not take part in Dahnivka camp and just as I thought everyone was offended. I wanted to be where God wanted to see me, where I was more needed. I talked with my friends, because I did not know what I should do. I did not want to hurt anyone’s feelings. Then after a while the pastor of Dahnivka church came to me and said that he could not run a camp in those dates and asked me the better dates we could transfer the camp. I was surprised when he told me that. God gave the answer to my prayer. He arranged everything in advance. Now I will have time to serve Him twice as much. I waited so many years to participate in the project and finally this is happening. I am very glad, I know that I will learn much there and I will be filled spiritually. My desire does not fade, it becomes even stronger, I cannot wait till the 30th of July. I think MI8 will be my experience of burning bush. I believe in the changes in my life. The thing that God arranged everything is a real miracle for me. Now I truly feel that God wants me to be involved in Dahnivka camp and the project. If I said ‘no’ to Anya at once, without thinking and praying, I would have lost so much and I would not be in any of the camp, I would not serve the Lord anywhere, I would spend time at home. That is what I was afraid of at the beginning. But God gave such a big desire that I could not say ‘no’. That is why I am ready to take part in the project, serve the Lord and learn spiritually. If God arranged everything in a miraculous way, it means that I should participate in MiDim project. I think that God has prepared some changes for me, though I do not know which ones exactly. I think it will be the ‘burning bush’, which will inflame me during my whole life. I also invited two of my friends, who are not Christians and they would not agree to take part in the project without me, and I really hope that their lives will change, and the changes will be connected with the relationships with God. My life would become happier because of that. This project will be something new and extraordinary for me. I think that after the project I will have even more new and extraordinary things in my life. And the wish I had 5 years will finally come true.
