The theme of the 2010 annual meeting was "Emerging from the Shadow of Emotional Trauma—Experiencing Healing Through Life Renewal."

It was very appealing to me, so I attended the seminars and evangelistic meetings at the annual meeting. As a corporate training consultant, I was particularly drawn to the volunteer position of emcee, so I recommended myself to Dr. Kot after the meeting. Initially, I guessed that this position, unlike volunteering at the reception or bookshelf, would be less appealing. However, to my surprise, Dr. Kot actually wanted to meet with me for a serious interview. At the time, I felt grateful that someone was willing to do it, because with over twenty years of professional experience in training, the emcee position would be easy for me. Unexpectedly, I was questioned by others, and that feeling was quite unpleasant. But for the sake of serving the Lord, I learned to wait and obey.

 

Dr. Kot eventually gave me the opportunity to be the emcee for the 2011 annual meeting, and now it's the eighth year.

 

As a volunteer, I seem to be assisting with the annual conferences, lectures, and workshops organized by the Rafa Foundation. However, I actually benefit greatly from each of the thematic discussions and encounter the Lord again. I have also personally witnessed how Jehovah Rafa serves and walks with friends and students who are struggling with emotional issues through Dr. Kot.

 

May our Heavenly Father continue to bless and greatly use Raphael to seek out the wounded, to experience with them the healing power of the cross, so that they may be released from darkness and live out the abundant life of Christ.
