Shake Up My World

Tabitha Mabus
I spent the last six months of 2014 overseas doing missions work.  After over a year back in the States the thought of being overseas again excites me to no end.  It’s hard to place my finger on what I miss so much.  Maybe it is seeing life, relationships, and God through a different culture.  Perhaps it is the way life tends to intersect with life in a rawer, realer way and love becomes an action not a sentiment.
Then again it may be the way these strange new places and amazing believers shake up my world and send me running desperate for more of God.  

I sit back and I am amazed that God has called me and paved the way for me to be part of the Romanian Missions Team this year.  I am amazed and yet it is so like Him.  Whatever God has specifically planned for Romania, the team, and for me I pray for grace to enter into it fully and grace to leave again.

Thank you for being a part of the Romania trip 2016!

The Romanian Church Is Not Alone

Trinity Romanian Missions Trip 2016
Oliver Alexander
I am so glad to be going back to Romania this year.  I can’t wait to see how the Lord moves.  This is my second time as part of the Trinity Romania Mission Team and I am excited to see all the people again.  

I believe firmly that the Romanian church needs to know they are not alone, that they belong to a bigger body that cares for them and hasn’t forgotten them.  They’ll never know that if random churches visit them and never come back to build that relationship.  That is why I think it’s extremely important that we take these trips to visit and encourage our brothers and sister in Christ.

Please keep us in your prayers as we gather the team - we desire to be united and of one mind as we go to serve the people of Romania.  Especially pray that God will prepare our hearts and the hearts of the people we come in contact with.  We also would ask that you pray for patience with each other as we travel.  Long flights and sleep deprivation can test endurance.

I can’t wait to see what God will do both through and in our team.  Thank you for your prayers and support in this ministry.
