Greetings from Romania


Here's a picture of our gracious host Radu and his lovely new bride, Emma. Next to Pastor Kevin you can see the back of our translator, Adi. It was a real joy to meet Adi and share what God is doing in his life. Pray for him as he is on his way to Thailand for a 10 day conference on missions.

Pastor Kevin shared about the Senior Home in Slimnic in the previous blog. It was both encouraging and heartbreaking to hear many of the stories from these seniors. Two had served in prison camps in Siberia just because they were of German descent when the Red Army rolled through Romania at the end of World War II. It didn't matter that they were girls or young women. Because they had German blood, they were shipped off to Russia. It has been encouraging to see how they are all blessed by Jesus to be in the home. Their faith is strong and they seek ways to love Jesus more each day.

Thank you both Pastor Kevin and Pastor Rich for being our eyes, ears and hearts-through you we are able to touch the lives of those to whom you are ministering. And they are able to touch our lives-we need to hear their stories. We need to know how to pray. We need to know how we can live out our calling with a view towards all His children, for His glory.

We'll keep praying for you and those you've met, and pray you both safely back home.
