Bless: Introduce yourself…
Ella: My name is Ella. I’m 19, I come from Bristol and I like elephants and Ella Fitzgerald.
Bless: What are you up to at the moment?
Ella: I am spending a week in Bethanie, where I am training to go to Freiburg, Germany. Each day I get to join in with the morning prayer meeting and then I usually do some Bible study. I have also had a chance to look around the nearby city, Caen and drink chocolat chaud (with marshmallows!)
Bless: Why are you moving to Germany?
Ella: I am going to work with a church there for three months. I am hoping to get
closer to God through my experience and also to bless the church in Freiburg.
Bless: How does Bless fit into your story?
Ella: I found out about Bless through someone at my church and I was very excited to find that Bless did placements in Germany. I did German for A level and so I had been looking to do some sort of short term mission work in Germany. The placement in Freiburg seemed like an answer to prayer.
Bless: What are your dreams for the next 12 months (or so)?
Ella: I would love to be changed by my experience in Germany and to learn to trust completely in God. I would also like to improve my German and get to know the community in the church and in Freiburg.
Bless: What can we pray for?
Ella: I’d really appreciate prayer that I’d settle in quickly and that I’d be brave enough to try and speak German, as often as possible, even if it means embarrassing myself! I’d also like prayer that I would be able to use my gifts to serve the church and that through my time there I would learn more about God and get to know Him better
