Ekklesia Concert In Arad

We were very fortunate to be able to attend this inspiring concert. They had about 100 people in the choir and 40 in the orchestra. We got to go with a great group of young people from Betel Baptist. One of the young ladies, Doro, was in the choir 🙂. She did a great job!

Black Friday Romanian Style

It is the custom here in Romania to have church services every day during the week leading up to Easter (Passion Week). Romanians celebrate Easter a week later than the United States does, so we have the honor to be here to be part of this celebration. On Black Friday (Good Friday in the U.S.) we spoke and sang in three different churches. It was a wonderful day, long, but wonderful! The pictures below are from Friday. You can also watch one of the many testimonies given during the day.

Great Time of Worship

Thursday night we visited fellow believers in Cherelus at Biserica Ghetsimani! We had a great time of worship and fellowship. One of our favorite experiences in worship is when we can worship in two languages at once. This happens during both of these songs and is most noticeable in the second one. Enjoy!   

Centered On Christ

Sarah Heffington

One thing I have come to enjoy is listening to praise songs in Romanian. I can understand more of the language now, even though I am not even close to fluent. A Romanian group that covers many American praise songs just released Set My Heart by Vertical Worship. 

These lyrics are what I am striving towards living in, centered on Christ, especially as we prepare for our trip:

You make a way when none is found

You tell the roaring ocean to bow

I believe You're moving even now

Right here, right now

I have set my heart

Set my, set my heart on You

You have every part of me

I set my heart on You

It is never our team that accomplishes any ministry, it is God's faithfulness that works through and in spite of us. Please pray that our whole team is grounded in truth, humility, and open to the ways God will move this year!
