Joel and I had an intriguing conversation with a Polish man named Karol. He moved from Poland to the U.K. a few years back to learn to speak English. While he was there, he was led to the Lord, and then shortly after, married an English-speaking woman. He said they had moved to Australia to have more room (and more Christian opportunities) for their kids to grow up in. He didn’t feel like England was really offering those things. Karol and his wife have been married 4 years, have 3 children, and just do what they can at the church and in the neighborhood to share the Gospel. Karol said something interesting that I don’t want to forget. He was talking about how he was out one day and, “of course, he had to share the gospel with the man he met and was talking to.” Then he looked at me and said, “I mean, if I don’t share the gospel with everyone I meet, then why should I bother being Christian?” That really hit home. I know I don’t witness to everyone I meet, and I try to salve my conscience by reminding myself of the times I have witnessed and of the children and teens I’ve been able to lead to the Lord. Karol has never been to Bible College, never been to American, and never even been in Greenville! Yet he lives the true Christian life. I think that God used this simple Polish man to prick my heart and stir my soul up about why I’m even still alive.- Megan
