Eve’s testimony<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hi. My name is Eve. I\u2019ve been the member of community operating at redemptorists\u2019 for 5 years. I want to tell you how I\u2019ve discovered that part of redemptorist\u2019s vocation which is also my own vocation. This words: \u201cgo and proclaim Plentiful Redemption to the world\u201d \u2013 I\u2019ve experienced and taken them as my own. One of my favourite way of preaching, of evangelizing are retreats. I\u2019ve learnt from redemptorists that lay people, that community can lead such retreats \u2013 for schools, for children, for youth. I\u2019ve felt that is something for me! I remember my first retreats I participated in. I was praying for the people. I was just sitting in a church praying for youth. That was the beginning. And now I\u2019m one of the group which is coordinating such retreats in my community. Last year, I led 7 rounds and tomorrow I\u2019m starting next one.\u00a0 It is great opportunity to go to youth people, to children and using such way \u2013 retreats, Lenten retreats or parish mission \u2013 tell about God. If not the redemptorists if not the community I wouldn\u2019t have this opportunity. I like this form. I like preaching the kerygma and evangelize is this way. Thanks to redemptorists I have such occasion. My community has such occasion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Peter\u2019s testimony<\/b><\/p>\n

HI, I\u2019m Peter, I\u2019ve been the member of Academic Ministry \u201cRedemptor\u201d in Wroc\u0142aw for about 4 years. I\u2019ve joined this community by accident. I participated in Alpha Course during which I was touched by divine live. Nowadays, I\u2019m the leader, the member of community which works at redemptorists\u2019. As a community we organize Alpha Courses and also Faith Renewal Seminar. In fact we are in the middle of the Seminar. It was second meeting today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Faith Renewal Seminar is series of 7 meetings. Each one starts with Holy Mass, afterwards our father has a conference. Members of our community give testimonies how God works in their life, how he has touched them by his love, how he has showed that he cares of them. Those testimonies show how members of our community changed their lives and found the way to God. What do we \u2013 students \u2013 do during Faith Renewal Seminar? First of all we are leaders of small groups. We are responsible of organisation of whole this event, we take care of advertising, church lighting, we read the Scripture and sing Psalms\u2026 What Faith Renewal Seminar gives to me \u2013 leader? It gives me a lot of joy due to preaching the Good News and joy when I can see members of my small groups growing in faith and approaching to God.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Natalie\u2019s testimony<\/b><\/p>\n

Hello, I\u2019 Natalie. I\u2019m in involved in youth group at redemptorists\u2019 parish for 4 years. Our group has 25 or 30 people from 13 to 26 years old. We form ourselves in three communities: Oaza, the Team and some boys are in altar service group. We go together across Poland and evangelize. We lead specific evangelization course \u201cEureka\u201d but we also preach Lenten retreats which we created and then go and tell about God. We are ministering not only in redemptorists\u2019 churches but also in other parishes which ask as for help and service. It is truly great time for us all. For me, it is time for meeting my second family \u2013 the community. We are huge help for one another.\u00a0 We learn a lot from each other, we share out talents and abilities. Our common preaching of God, having the same values can help us improve ourselves and stay firm at God.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Victor\u2019s testimony<\/b><\/p>\n

Hello! My name is Victor and I am the member of Academic Ministry \u201cBac\u00f3wka\u201d. Recently, I\u2019ve got involved in Alpha Course which is led in our parish in Toru\u0144 where redemptorists work. We \u2013 students form \u201cBac\u00f3wka\u201d \u2013 are involved in many ways: technical and organizations matters like arranging tables, preparation of solemn dinner which starts every edition. We are hosts and helpers in small groups. We give lectures and we form coordinating group for evert edition of Alpha Course.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sylvia\u2019s testimony<\/b><\/p>\n

My name is Sylvia, I\u2019ve been married for almost 30 years; I raised up or better \u2013 spent my student\u2019s time with Academic Ministry \u201cRedemptor\u201d here in Wroc\u0142aw at Wittig\u2019s street. After graduating, I\u2019ve joined the post-academic community \u201cDar\u201d (the Gift). One of the form of our activity, except Faith Renewal Seminary, is new thing we\u2019ve recently started: \u201cMarriage Course\u201d. It is a course intended to\u00a0 every marriage couple not only sacramental but also nonsacramental. It is a course dedicated to marriages which have short or long internship, to marriages which have quarrels and which have very good relations within. We invite everyone. Not only people who are in the Church, because it is very difficult to evangelize people who are in the outskirts of the Church.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The course last for 7 weeks. There are meetings evert week. Those meetings are in fact a date. They begin with dinner, each couple sit at a table and has an opportunity to dialog. Later on, main part begins \u2013 I mean the conference and some kind of workshops \u2013 marriage dialogs. During this course we focus on fundamental causes: how to communicate with one another, how to resolve conflicts, how to forgive\u2026 He learn how much influence family upbringing has on us and our spouse. We talk about good sex and how to express our love to be understood. As you can see this course doesn\u2019t seem to be evangelization. In fact, it is a kind of pre-evangelization, because we want to present that there are beautiful rules and if we life according to them our marriages become full of love and we can share this love, we can fulfil our desires and become the best testimony for other marriage couples and our children. God is the creator of this rules. God who is full of love and tender, who always takes care of us and even if the whole world collapses, his love will survive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Julie\u2019s testimony<\/b><\/p>\n

Hi! I\u2019m Julie and I\u2019m the member of Academic Ministry \u201cBac\u00f3wka\u201d, which works at our parish of Saint Joseph in Toru\u0144, where redemptorists work. I want to tell you about a specific form of evangelization \u2013 \u201cthe Jezualia\u201d, which is led by us \u2013 students. \u201cThe Jezualia\u201d take place during juwenalia \u2013 the biggest party for students in academic year. It is an alternative form of entertainment created by us. We show other students that you can have fun with God, with Jesus, that in fact our faith isn\u2019t boring, isn\u2019t a brake or some kind of limitation. \u201cThe Jezualia\u201d is time of 3 or 4 days of evangelization through our lives, our testimony. We set up a scene where take place a lot of events: concerts, Zumba, dances. There is a common barbecue\u2026 And there is word of God everywhere during all this events. Additionally, at night we go to evangelize other people. So, during the day, we have a lot of fun with people, we are just with them, showing that faith isn\u2019t boring, that life with God isn\u2019t boring and at night all together we go in pairs or in threes with boards with inscriptions, such as: \u201cDo you believe that God loves you?\u201d or \u201cDo you believe that God is pure love?\u201d. We talk with people, with students who are playing during juwenalia. We talk about our lives, sheering our lives and our faith. Meanwhile, there is an adoration and there are priests \u2013 martyrs of confessionals \u2013 who are ready to hear confessions of students who we want to bring to them. So, this is what we do, how we work, how we show that life with God is not boring and in fact, is the best adventure we can have.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
