The 2019 Team is Set!

We are very excited to announce that the 2019 team is set and getting ready to go! We will be traveling about three weeks earlier this year than normal. We will leave at the end of April in stead of May. We have four new team members this year and three returning, in addition to the two team leaders. Please check out the pictures and bios on the TEAM page. We will be posting more updates as the time drawn near and then updates from Romania as the opportunities allow. Thanks for all your support and prayers!

Sunday Morning and Evening

What a nice way to finish off this marvelous trip! We worshipped in Firi Tiez in the morning. You can listen to Emily's testimony below. We were also blessed to hear some children sing and recite Bible verses and poems. 

Sunday night we were delighted to be at Bethel in Arad. It was a great time of worship! Our team sang with the youth and we also heard their youth and some children sing. There were some technical difficulties with the video but there are a few clips and they are well worth watching! 

After church we had dinner and a time of games and fellowship. What a great way to end our two week trip. Thanks to every one who has been praying. We have seen God at work!

Mountain Tops and Bran Castle

The team saw many beautiful sights while driving on the Transfagarasan, which is the highest road in Romania. It was sunny and beautiful, it rained, it hailed, but most of all it was an experience of God's handiwork. The following day they took a tour of the Bran Castle. This is such an interesting historical sight. The grand finale after lunch was papanache. This is a fried dough, similar to a doughnut covered in a sweet sour cream sauce and fruit preserves. The close-up photo of panache is served without the cream sauce. However, the apricot preserves were excellent as the sole accompaniment! 

Reuniting in Motru

The team had such a good time reuniting with fellow believers in the Baptist church in Motru.  It was an encouraging time of worship, sharing, and fellowship. The Spirit was obviously present and we were all very blessed. After the service we had fun time of eating and singing together.

Sunday Morning at Nuziman

We had a wonderful time of worship and teaching at Nuziman on Sunday morning! 

We hope you enjoy the following video clips of the church members singing for us. You can also watch two testimonies from Jathan and Annika. We hope you are blessed!

Fun Day with the Youth from Bethel

On Friday we took a beautiful drive out to a wonderful farm retreat and spent the day visiting, playing, eating, and singing! We celebrated one of our team members birthdays - Emily. We also almost go to pet some cows that walked past our car as we were attempting to drive down the road! We love Romania!

Notice the crate of fresh cherries! The trees are loaded with them.

There was lots of volleyball!

Fun talking with these young ladies!

We are glad someone was there to play the Cajon!

Emily's birthday cake! Beautiful and delicious!

Emily is surprised by her cake and having happy birthday sung to her in Romanian as well as English!

After the picnic we went over to Pastor Cristi and Alina's house and had some pizza and fun conversation! What a blessing for them to have their home completed.

Visit to Gethsemane Church

Some of our friends from Gethsemane Church

We had such a good time visiting our friends in Cherelus! We had a great service and lively worship. Below are a few video clips and photos from our time together. 

 

In this clip listen closely as we worship God in English and Romanian at the same time. It is always such blessing when this happens. There are truly no words to describe it!
