An interview with Jennifer and jessica
Today I am meeting the brain and the beauty in the OM France short-term-mission-office. They are already super excited so let's get started with the first easy questions:
How old are you and where do you come from?
JD: I am 22 and I come from the UK.
JK: I am 19 and come from Germany.
What is your role in OM France?
JD: We're both involved in the immigrant ministry two days a week, and the other three days we spend in the office helping to organise short term outreaches, designing paper planes and doing practical work.
Okay I see, that's a little bit too easy for you. I think we could start with the much deeper questions. Are you ready?
JD: No!
JK: Yep!
Great, so how many times a week do you hurt yourself trying to dance in the shower?
JK: I don't know how often I hurt myself in the shower but generally I am really good at hurting myself,... unfortunately.
JD: I try to avoid dancing at all costs, unless in the dark or ceilidhing. (if you don't know what a ceilidh is then just google it and try it!)
Wow, thank you for the honest answers. on to the next question, which is a little bit long but I am sure you can do it. Let's imagine there is a packet of chocolate digestive biscuits in a room. Let's imagine I leave them there and tell you not to eat any before I come back. How long does it take before you disobey?
JK: Probably you haven't even left the room.
JD: Sorry, what was the question? I heard chocolate digestives and got distracted.
Well, let's move on. My last question in this category is: how many friendships have you ruined playing Monopoly?
JD: Monopoly isn't such a problem for me but there was the great mafia (card game) incident of 2011 which cost a few weeks of friendship. We're back on track now though.
JK: I also never had problems with Monopoly but Bonanza (card game) taught me how to forgive.
Let's come now to the really important questions.
What do you think will be the biggest challenge in Marseille?
JK: Probably playing football in the heat and the language.
JD: Communication can be difficult when people come from different cultures and speak different languages but it always reassures me to remember that we are all part of God's family.
Here is the last question for you. What do you want to see happen in Marseille?
JD: I want to see children learning to love Jesus.
JK: I want that the children find Jesus in playing football with us and that they realise that you always win if you play for God.
Thank you for your time and see you in Marseille !!
But we want to know how you would answer the last question. Just leave a comment !
