Romania - home again

Hope of Life Worship

We are home again and a little jet lagged. Above is the Hope of Life Worship Team ministering at the City Wide Crusade in Romania. Those of you that have joined us on one of the Romania Mission Teams will recognize many old and new friends. Laura, the new worship team leader, was very nervous, but as you can see did a great job. God is so faithful and He received all the glory.

It was a wonderful trip. We saw, not only new converts to Christ, but some old friends rededicate their life to their Savior. Everyone asked when we were coming back and said their "hearts were full of joy at our returning as they consider us family." We have always taught that moments matter but when one of the leaders told us they considered us their spiritual parents, we were amazed at how the Lord can take a few weeks, some Internet time and multiply it to be so fruitful. One set of new parents told us they were doing everything we told them, now what is next. What a privilege to serve such hungry, faithful believers. We are in communication as to whether there is a need for us to return in August.

Please keep us in your prayers as we adjust to a full schedule of summer missions.This Sunday we will be ministering at the Macomb Correctional Facility, our State Prison. Some of these inmates are the parents of the children we take to Champions for Life Kids' Camp. Keep both the parents and the children in your prayers, that Jesus will draw them close to His heart, into a personal relationship with Him and heal all the past memories.
