Viktorija     

Viktorija's choice for Word on the Street is Isaiah 41: 13: For I am the Lord your God, who grasped your right hand. It is I who say to you, "Fear not. I will help you."

"This scripture is very powerful for me personally. When you go through difficult circumstances in life and you open your Bible and you read the scripture and you know that the Lord your God is with you, you know that he will never leave you or forsake you. It is encouraging for me to know it personally, it's like a father saying to you, 'Don't be afraid, I am with you, I will help you.'"

The Hill of Crosses

Jill, from the USA, was a pilgrim here       

"The Hill of Crosses in Lithuania started out as a place with only a few crosses put there by Christians in Lithuania and then Russians came in and knocked all the crosses down. Then people replaced them and the Russians came back, and the people replaced them and finally the Russians gave up. To go there now and see every square inch covered with crosses, on an area about the size of a football field, is an objective testimony to love of God and the strength that God gives people under incredible circumstances."
