Well, today was our last full day in Romania. We have had an absolutely fantastic time... This morning, both our team and the Romanian staff commented on how blessed we were to experience such unity, teamwork, and camaraderie during our short time together. We will always remember and cherish our dear brothers and sisters in Christ. We are also very thankful for the abundance of spiritual fruit reaped during our time at the orphanages.
We had our last lunch at the ministry center, and Mama Maria ended a terrific week of culinary success with musaka. It is a tantalizing combination of scalloped potatoes, herbs, cheese, and ground beef...all piping hot out of the oven. Awesome.
New prayer requests: please pray for stamina and strength tomorrow as we fly back to Texas via Amsterdam and Detroit. It will truly be a marathon and we anticipate quite a bit of down-time in Michigan. May we be patient, gracious, and have a great time...for the last time as a team.
Thank YOU for your involvement in this whole process. It has been such a comfort knowing that the prayers of the saints are going before us as we prepared for each day. The success of this trip can be attributed to the hard work of the team, your faithful support, and (most importantly) the power and strength of our great God.
Pa (bye)!

Hope you won't be too excited to be able to get some sleep on the long journey home. We're praying for smooth sailing (a.k.a. flying). We pray also that the bonds you have established with each other and with the folks in Romania will continue. This short-term activity has come to an end, but God uses it to weave into more ministry and fruit for each one in the future. So in some sense, the team only expands, it never really is "for the last time." Can't wait to see you all again. We'll be there at the airport.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe that this might be the last time that I will get to comment on this blog. Thank you so much for updating us. It makes praying for you much easier. We look forward to seeing y'all at the airport on Sat. night. I will be praying for you as most of you will be going back to your own college campus on Monday. Great job!
