Glimpses of a Great Trip!

Last week our team of 12 arrived in Romania from Texas, Illinois and Tennessee. We made plans for our time with the children and women, but didn't know exactly how our days would go. God, of course, was present and blew us away with his attention to detail in all things. We began the week doing two days of VBS with the children who attend school at the Point of Hope, as well as the students who come for the after school program. Our time with them was filled with Bible stories, games, crafts and music. The children are eager to learn and to be loved. Our main goal was to show them love that is lasting and found in God. Then we spent two days serving the women of the community. About 25-30 women (moms, grandmas, aunts, and sisters of the students) attended the ministry. We had a devotional time followed by crafts, beauty and health. We worked hard to impress upon the women that they are of value and that they are beautiful simply because they were created by God. It was a sweet blessing to continue to build relationships with the kids and the women. We are so thankful that they welcomed us in to share life with them! The pictures that follow are just a few glimpses of our time in Romania. You will see a bit of our activities and the beauty of the country. Our efforts would not have been as lasting had it not been for the assistance of the amazing volunteers and staff that minister to the community of Tarnaveni all year long. Please take a moment to pray over the school, staff, volunteers and community as you enjoy these photos!
