Damian is third from the left in this picture. He came to the English classes just to hear his favorite language spoken by Americans as he speaks our language VERY well. He was a translator for the huge steel factory during communist times. The revolution in 1989 was not good for him. He was very, very depressed and really at the end of his rope when he came to these classes offered by the Missouri Baptist. This led to a friendship in which he really began to open up. I was able to go to his house several times and share many things about Christ with him. During this same time frame -I was working at an orphanage and teaching them how to share their faith effectively. I would kind of have a mock trial and use Romans chapter 3 to show that ADAM was guilty and needed to be punished. Well, I got the idea to invite Damian to this and have him sit in the place of Adam. The boys, about 21 of them, literally began interrogating him and discovered that even though Damian read his Bible, went to church, prayed and did all the religious stuff he had never been “Born Again.” Well they prayed for him and this began to stir his heart. Soon there after he gave his life to Christ and is now a “True Believer” as he would say. We have become good friends. He is a great guy and certain that he is on his way to heaven!
