Have we mentioned that I am in Prague and Lori is in Atlanta? I am living at the International Baptist Theological Seminary here in the Czech Republic through the end of October. IBTS's student body is amazing. Elisabet Fernandez-Morales is a recent college graduate who decided to do some additional studies at IBTS. Read on for her story and how she fits into the Body of Christ.

Elisabet's Story
My name is Elisabet and I’m from Spain. Last June I graduated in Journalism by the Complutense University in Madrid. While I was studying, I also worked in an office as the assistant of the company’s director. It was a difficult time, because in Spain there isn’t a flexible system of supporting students who need to work, so you are required to give 100% in both.

I became a Christian when I was five years old, and since then, I’ve always wanted to serve God and people in any possible way. I heard and read about missionaries and pastors, and I thought that, someday, I wanted to become one of them. As a teenager, I started to help in my church with the puppets’ ministry and to collaborate with Athletes in Action (a ministry among athletes).

The years passed by, and I concentrated my strength and time in the fields [in which] I think I’m more prepared to serve: communications and youth leadership. I’ve been part of the leadership team of my church’s youth group for several years and helped Campus Crusade doing some translating and writing.

That’s why I decided to come to IBTS. I want to know more about my Faith; I want to be prepared “to teach, to rebuke, to correct and to train in righteousness”. For five years I’ve been studying how to communicate. Now I want to learn about the thing I want to communicate the most: my Faith.
