Romania Update 5

The Romanian Mission Team is officially back.
Thank you for your prayers!

Romania Update 4

I must say that Lowell Dooley is really "bringin' it". He has been such a blessing to camp this week. It could be possible that he has ministered more to me than I thought.

I am doing well, camp is a lot like Centrikid! In EVERY way. Those of you that have chaperoned at CKid know what I am talking about!! Tonight is the ring ceremony at the bonfire where Daniel will present the campers with a tlw promise ring. Satan has reared his ugly head too many times to count and God has sent the Holy Spirit to stop him in his place, PTL.

Today, the God of this city broke the heart of the meanest/badest kid at camp...Isn't it amazing how God can take such a person and make him an example, I never saw this one coming as I had just had a run in with this young man right before lunch.

The crafts have gone over very well and the kids ar proud of their work, as they should be!

Lots of pics to show when I return...IF I return!!

Romania Update 3

It's 10:40 on Tuesday night. Day two is complete. After the sun went down here in the mountains, it is COLD. About to dive in the bed.

Great day of worship and fellowship. As usual, Satan makes his regular visit to cause disruption. Fortunately, our God is greater.

The kids have been kind and respectful. Very loving. They seem to be listening to everything taught.

Nothing really new to report at this time. Keep praying for camp. Keep praying for the Roma that we love so. And keep praying for our little Roma friend that has been forced into a life of prostitution.

p.s., you'd be pleased to know that I am eating things that I thought I would never try. It's not too bad. Then again, you never see a dead cat by a full bowl of food.

Romania Update 2

The heavens proclaim the glory of God.
The skies display His craftmanship.
Day after day they continue to speak;
night after night thay make Him known.
They speak without a sound or word;
their voice is never heard.
Yet their message has gone throughout the earth,
and their words to all the world. Ps 19:1-4

Although most people believe in a creator because of the evidence around them, they need to know about His love, mercy and grace. What are you doing to take God's message to the world.

Went to church at Mociu this morning for our 3 hour worship, again it was awesome to praise the same God in a different tongue. We observed the Lord's supper on our knees and enjoyed fellowship with the Romanian's and Gypsies...yes in the same church! We were certainly blessed! God has continually grown this church with more members and believers.

Camp Starts on Monday, the campers have attended week long bible studies to become eligible to go to camp, then must have a permission slip signed by their parents. The youth will start arriving at 3pm which will give us enough time to get crafts sorted and decorations up. Lowell Dooley will be introducing our program and will be our camp Director for the week. Vickie and I will be leading our small group devotion time with the girls and heading up the really cool crafts which Parkway VBS, IGO cell group in Suffolk and Southside Baptist have so generously provided.

Romania Update 1

We're here in Cluj...Our trip was uneventful other than the sneers we were so graciously showered with when we told the Romanians what we were doing here. Their responses were "we don't like those gypsies. By the grace of God I didn't jump over the counter at the airport and give this one lady a what for. No one is allowed to speak of my family in that manner!

We will be attending church with Oana Rognean on Sunday...can't wait to worship with our Romanian family!

Finishing up a mission project in Bangladesh, Have 1 more day and will start for home, we leave at 4 am on 8/11. We have seen God work in many wonderful ways during our time here as if that should be a surprise. Thank You for your prayers during this project.

Bangladesh Update 5

I never thought I would have the chance to stand on the floor of the parliament chamber in bangladesh or outside the mosque within the walls of themain gov. Building and pray for the country but that is what happened today! denny and i were able to sit and talk with one of the ministers of education as well. The Father continues to open doors in this country to the truth. Many things to share!

Bangladesh Update 4

we enjoyed worship last evening with Williams church. It would have been about the same time as the 8:30 service at Parkway. We are planning to visit the national monument this morning to see what conversations can be had. Denny and I will be visiting Parliament this afternoon with Shankar which be interesting! Tomorrow we will be getting ready for the trek home on wednesday.

Tent the church plant has at the fair. Parkway mission team is taking opportunities to share the love of Christ with the community in Colorado.

Bangladesh Update 2

an update on the J film. As we were setting up to show the film about 50 yards from the village mosque surrounded by about 250 People that had cometo see the film the immans decided that we could not show it although all wanted to see it. There was much discussion about showing it somewhwere else but we decided to leave. everyone was told that their own leaders would not let the foreigners do something for their village. All are safe but will have stories to tell.

Bangladesh Update 1

hello we had a great day today doing some touring in Dhaka in 2 groups Tim W and i spent the day with shankar and were able to directly share the gospel again. We visited 2 Hindu temples. The other group had lengthy conversation with the swami ended with sharing the gospel with an evangecard in the middle of the temple. Trveling south tommorrow so communication may be spotty for a few days.

Thank you for your prayers.
