Being AMAZED in Romania!
There are so many things to be thankful for. Our safety, restored health and God's spirit moving are only a few. Yesterday we spent traveling to Timisoara to visit the city where Daniel and Mariana live and have their other church called The Rock. We stopped along the way to tour a castle (built when Hungary ruled this section of the country). Today was filled with seeing the city, visiting the Esther Foundation (a pregnancy care center where Mariana serves as a board member) and souvenir shopping. Oh yeah, the guys also got to go fishing with Radu this morning...Radu is an interesting, funny and VERY hardworking Romanian man we have had the pleasure of working with these 2 weeks. Tonight we went to church at The Rock for their weekly Thursday night service. It was a tremendous time of testimony and singing and hearing God's Word preached by Daniel. As Mariana said, these last 2 weeks have been an example what it means to be part of the body of Christ - people from 4 different countries, different denominations, languages and cultures working in harmony together with a common goal of sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. It has truly been a blessing (for Americans and Romanians alike). And, as the young Romanian pastor, Gabi, said...it is going to take time for the churches to grow in the 2 villages where we have been working but seeds have been planted and the gospel has been shared. Lord willing more work will be done!
There is much more to share, but that will wait for pictures and presentations in our churches, so hopefully you can come hear a presentation about these past 2 weeks and be encouraged with us! Due to our traveling schedule this may be the last post until we are home and then I will try to post once more. Sorry for the lack of pictures from the past few days...if you want to see them please ask any team member and/or come to our respective churches when the presentations are given. Please continue to pray for us and our safety in traveling on the ground and in the air and for colds to be completely cleared up before flying and also for the Romanian people and their salvation and the work that will continue. We thank you sincerely for your part in supporting our team.
