Bună, and greetings from sunny Bucharest! We have indeed arrived safely in Romania after a smooth flight via Amsterdam (all 11 hours of it!). Today we had a wonderful day of sight-seeing, visiting castles in the heart of a snow-covered forest and taking a breathtaking gondola ride up the side of a mountain! We spent the day with two members of the Children to Love International staff, and we are already so grateful for their extraordinary friendliness, extensive Romanian knowledge, and awe-inspiring passion for the Lord. We are already feeling very comfortable with them and even more comfortable with our McKinney team. Great bonding!
A few things to pray about: first, please pray that we will take the time to soak in as much information from the Romanian staff as possible. Also, we start our first orphanage visits tomorrow (we start at 7:15 A.M.). Please pray that we are physically (i.e., enough sleep; jet lag adjustment) and spiritually prepared (i.e., being intentional about carving out time for prayer and Bible reading) in entering this very important mission. May we start the trip well!
Last order of business: if you have not been receiving e-mail updates from Erin Frazier (McKinney Students Student Ministries Administrative Assistant), please send Curt Sparkman (our College Pastor here on the trip) an e-mail at curt@mckinneystudents.com.
Thank the Lord for His answers to prayer! May God continue to bless your prayers.

Great to hear you all arrived safely and are already having fun! Dive in and enjoy what God has prepared to show you all.
ReplyDeleteWe will be praying for y'all as you interact with the special children in Romania. May God clothed you with His love and compassion. We will also pray that you will continue to have good health and stamina as you have long days ministering to the people in Romania and also working and preparing for the next day's program.
