Florian Sanders is 16 years old and a foreign exchange student form Cologne, Germany. This is a message he shared with our youth group during our student worship service on May 4th. 

Hi guys! I am here to talk to you today about some things that James Thiele talked about on Saturday night, May19th, during Viva la Mission. And also Hayden and Ashley talked about it at last weeks FCA meeting.
I want to talk about that all of us should go out, help people who need our. Help like we did it at Viva la mission. Also just go out and talk to people we see every day and we know they need to find Christ in their life's.
I want you all to help to give each and everyone the opportunity to get to know Jesus. And you all have to know that there is probably no country where it is easier to reach people and talk to them about Christ than here in the United States.
When I think about where I am from in Germany, you can find maybe in a thousand people, 10 who are real Christians. Think about how many people you know that are not Christians? Almost no one right?
And is it not so easy to help people when you are not in a group? Just think what we all did at Viva la Mission. Did we not all do jobs which would be days and days of work if you were alone?
And how long did we need? Four hours?
And did you not all see like I did the appreciation in the people’s eyes?

Imagine now if you lived in Germany, where I will be again in less than two month. Imagine you want to tell a dear friend how great and how awesome our God is. Would it not be a hard to tell about Him and all his Glory? And would it not be so much easier when you have doubts in you mind with someone like Rick who you can talk to and who can encourage you and give you confidence again? Would it not be horrible not to have a second family here in church where you can go to and where you can find peace, help and advice when ever you need it?

Now think about all the people who don't have what you have. Who can't go to a church and talk to their preacher, who can't bow down and ask God for help, for advice or for Forgivingness. Think about theses people. Would it not be so awesome to give each and every one of them the chance to meet Christ? Would it not be so fantastic to help him or her to experience what we do? Would it not be so great to know that everyone has at least been given the opportunity to choose if or if not they want to walk with God?
This can't just happen; we have to go out and spread Jesus’ Holy Name and tell them about what Jesus did for each and every one of us on the Cross. How He Died and rose again.

I just want you to do so when ever you can. To be honest, what better place could there possible be than your school? Where do you have access to more people who do not have Christ in their life?
So just go sit down with them and talk to them and tell them about Jesus’ glories name.

Remember you may be the only Bible that someone ever reads, reflect it well.
