More from the Romania mission team

As you read the testimonies on the previous post you will sense that God is doing a great work in us and through us. It is humbling to know that He loves us so much that He does not want us to stay the way we are, but wants us to be transformed into the image of Christ. Sometimes He can best get our attention when we are away from all that is familiar. It is as if He places our heart in an incubator and hatches the things within that He knows are lacking in our walk with Him.

Last night we saw the Cultural House in Jibou filled with people who were singing songs of praise, listening to the testimonies of how God drew believers to Himself, and listening to the gospel being proclaimed. There was sowing, watering and reaping. The meetings continue there tonight, as well as in six other villages.

Please continue to pray, and to send your words of encourgement to the team via the COMMENTS link below. If possible, we will be posting pictures later in the day, so check back often.

Just wanted the team to know that I am praying for you daily. A piece of my heart is in Romania (I was there last summer), so I can relate to so much of what you're experiencing. Continue to be His hands and feet! And if someone could tell the Keish's (Bro John and Mariana) "hello" from Lisa and Spencer.

Dear PACS Romania Team,
Praise God! Your experiences in Romania have blessed so many already...that's so evident as we read the blog entries. Matt, Coach Van and I are really praying for each team member to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit...that you would hear in your hearts when He tells you to be bold and speak of Jesus to anyone you see along your travels. Only God knows who He's prepared to come to Him through you only! Our special love to Jerry and Thomas Haas, Jon and Katharyn Richt! Does it bring back any memories of our adventure in Ukraine to get our little munchkins?
All because of the "CROSS",
Michele, Coach Van and Matt Van Halanger
