Romania - Saturday

Yesterday was extremely busy. We started with a prayer ceremony to bless a new marriage in the church. Then on to practice for the children's program. The young people were eager to be a part and wonderful to work with. We had a lot of laughs and fun preparing. Last summer we taught the teens and young adults how to execute their first V.B.S. So preparing for this crusade was an easy transition as the foundation had already been laid. Above is a picture of the practice.
It is exciting to see how many of the young people had remained faithful throughout this past year. They are involved in everything and questioning how they can do more for the Lord. Their energy and passion is so refreshing.

After practice we headed to the conference center to set up. As if the green shirts didn't attract enough attention, imagine walking three blocks with a 5-foot blown up whale. The program was a success and many new children attended the children's crusade. The only difficulty we ran into was having to completely tear down every night and set up again the next day as it is a rented facility. Above and below are pictures of the actual program.
After the children's program, the adult crusade began with bands, dramas, videos and preaching. There was a nice crowd and a good first night. Please keep us in prayer as we have another two full days of the crusade. Our health is strong, our energy is high and God is continually amazing us.


One more note, if you have been to Romania with one of our teams, the church members are asking about you. You have left your imprint here and they want you to know they love and miss you all!
