"Freedom Fighter" finds true freedom
by Stephanie Green
During their workouts Chris would ask Marko questions about the Freedom Fighters like "who's your enemy?" to which Marko admitted their fight was fictitious and they didn't really have one. That particular day, Chris responded with "I have a real enemy," and continued his weight lifting interval.
A couple weeks later, Marko finally asked who Chris' enemy was and started asking more and more questions. This opened the door to Chris being able to share more and more about Jesus and the Christian faith. The friendship grew over time and Marko joined a trip to another YWAM location in Romania. He came back emotionally moved by a very young child named, Sybil, whom he met there and the state of her poverty stricken life.
One day he decided he wanted to pray for Sybil, but had no words to express his feelings. He didn't know how to pray. Not long after, Marko made the decision to believe Jesus and give his life over to him. Since his decision, Chris and Mirjam have walked side by side Marko as he continues to explore the foundations of Christianity.
He has since put words to his prayers and now participates in the YWAM community the Klop's have pioneered. Mirjam credits Chris' ability to bring God into any conversation as the reason they've been witness to Marko's recent conversion. In the last year they have also seen another young man come to know Jesus.
The Klop's are working towards establishing a fellowship group in their area and will be running a DTS this September. They will also continue to disciple these young men simultaneously!
