Three Days Left

Our time in the Dominican has been different..  We have been working with a woman that is set in the ways she does her ministry and already has it some what established.  Her heart is great and she loves to share The Gospel with children..  We join her in her ministry everyday and make ourselves available to her for whatever need she has.  Basically, up to this point we have played with a lot of kids.. We love kids and we love playing with kids.  However, we would love to be ¨doing¨ the spiritual ministry side of things and so as a team we have found...

The Post You’ve All Been Waiting For…

Well, to tell the truth, not much has changed since the last blog. It´s the last day at each of our locations tomorrow, and that has been going great! The Peruvians are taking over more and more of the responsibility, and they are doing a great job. We have our free day on Sunday, and then it´s off to the jungle on Monday! We will be writing a blog on Sunday detailing a little more how that will look. For now, we thought we´d let the kids do most of the talking this time. Here goes… Chloe- I miss you guys! How is the team doing in Jo´s? I got sick like I...

Party Time

With a team of 14 ladies and 4 dudes you know we have to do a little local shopping. So wednesday morning we headed out. We did have a little set back. Seems like the boys started a little prank battle and the girls had their revenge late one night. All I know is several of us ended up with mascara on and a wet mop in Colt’s bed.  We laughed it off. However you should have seen the look on the girls face when the van mysteriously wouldn’t crank to go shopping – priceless. They were totally punked. On the way back we picked up some pizzas to give the ladies a special...

Stepping Out…

I’ve now officially been in Romania for one week.  It has been an amazing and life changing week.  I’ve learned so much since I’ve been here.  It’s definitely been hard and it has brought me out of my comfort zone.  At first I didn’t want to come out of my comfort zone and “go in deep” but I’ve realized that the times when I am insecure and vulnerable are when I really experience God and change in my life.  Those uncomfortable situations I’ve been thrown into are the times when I feel closest to God.  I pray...

A Guarded Heart

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.” Proverbs 3:3       I left for this trip ten days ago with a very guarded heart. I spent last summer in the Dominican Republic ministering to a group of kids. We spent a week there loving those kids so much that by the end I cried when we had to say goodbye. When I got home I was so hurt and I missed them so much. I didn’t want to go through that again this year here in Romania especially knowing that I would be with the same kids this year...

A Spirit of Love

From the moment I arrived at training camp God has been challenging and molding me into a man after His own heart. Just one of the many things my team has been praying over me is a heart and spirit like King David’s. A spirit that lays aside everything and runs wholeheartedly the unbeaten path laid before me. And I have been loving every second God has given me here doing just that.  Spending time with Sandu’s family Has been such a blessing. They have thrown open their home to us and welcomed us with all the love that Christ has given them. I have enjoyed every minute...
