Romania Here We Come

Please pray for our Romanian Mission Team as we make our final preparations for this year's journey. We are attempting something that we have never tried on any of our previous trips. In the past we would always work with the children in the village of Sanger a few hours each day. They would come to the campus, hang out with us, participate in our Day Camps and then return to their homes. The rest of our time each day was usually spent on construction, and some home visitation.

This year we are taking approximately 40 young people and over 20 adults to a camp facility in the mountains for one week. This means we will have these children under our responsibility for 6 days -- 24/7! We are looking forward to having the opportunity to build some deeper, more detailed relationships with these young people and the few parents from the village who have agreed to make the trip with us. Most of all we are hoping and praying for the opportunity to share with everyone in this camp how Jesus Christ can become the Lord of their Lives.

Please pray for our Team; for our final provisions to be made; for all of our partners in Romania; for the young people and their families from Sanger; and for each day that we are gone on the trip. The dates we will be away from home are June 23 -- July 4. As always, please ask God to grant us safety as we travel. Like each trip we take there are some on our team who have never flown on an airplane. Also, pray for our families who will be here awaiting our safe return. PLEASE KNOW THAT WE ARE POWERLESS WITHOUT YOUR PRAYERS!

I will be trying to share updates on this blog while we are in Romania. I am not sure about internet access while we are at the camp so if you don't see anything from me from Monday - Saturday (June 27 - July 2) you will know that we don't have internet service. I will update everyone on our trip as soon as the web is available to me. Thanks from my heart for the prayers and for the financial support you have given!
