Guatemalan Billi Lloel Mendez Vasquez, 19, shared his testimony.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy experience in Project Timothy and Encuentro has been the best thing that has happened to me. In the week that I served as a volunteer, the most beautiful part was at the end of Project Nazagol (a soccer outreach) in the community where I served. It happened in my last day of missionary service. During the week I had been praying to God asking that I would be able to win a person for Christ so that I could feel satisfied with my work. In the middle of the game, God moved me to share my testimony with the participants, and for the glory of God, 29 youth accepted Jesus as their Savior.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: Dr. Milton Gay, Nazarene
