Zurich Mission Trip - Day 3
Watto this is the legend mark speaking. Today was an amazing day for us as we went out onto the streets of Zurich! We started the day meeting up at the church at 9. There were many of us today as the form team here in Zurich joined us.
Some of the guys - Stephan, Sylvan, Fabian, Dominic & Ben
During the morning session we split into small groups which gave us the opportunity to know each other and share our Christian backgrounds. After this we had about half an hour of worship followed by prayer for one another.
After lunch the Tim the leader of the church here explained to us the structure of the afternoon. Again we split into small groups for prayer to see what God was saying and calling us to do. We all shared the words and pictures we had been given. Time for mission was amazing. Everyone had some special experiences and was so great to see God working in so many situations.

For Me and Bugingo, it was a ridiculous scenario. We had the pleasure of going out with Rita, who is a swiss lass and naturally speaks Swiss-German, but no English, which just made things a bit harder. Not for God though! We ventured into a nearby park where there were homeless people, drug addicts as well as working people who wanted to chill out after work with some beers. The first two people we spoke to spoke fairly good English. The amazing thing was, we were speaking in two different languages explaining our purpose, and they were then translating to us their thought and views! How amazing is God! We had some great talks with people and feel that many relationships have been created. We plan to go there again tomorrow and take down some food and have a bit of a picnic with them in the afternoon.
Every good missionary should take part in a bit of tea towel whipping fun!
The evening was rather pleasant. We had a delightful meal followed by a game of mafia. I wont explain the rules because i’ll be here all evening. Unfortunately the trogs killed me first so I had to watch from the sideline, so disgruntled!
Thanks for taking the time to read my small novel, peace out to all the brother and sister in Christ love to you all.
