A Translator Who Challenged Me

 By Zach Bell

I can truly say that relationships make the difference in ministry. It makes a world of a difference when you can see someone as a friend rather than just a target group that needs to hear about Jesus.  At the recent EEO / Mercy Projects Winter Camp, my 20 year old translator Olexander, was a young man who grew up in the EEO sponsorship program. He used to attend summer camps, but now he was working there, and his example and life story has definitely challenged me.
