For the past two days, M’Kayla and I have had a chance to enjoy some “down time” and get to know Taranevan fairly well before we start all of our work with the kids. Yesterday we were able to plan, organize, and get all of the needed supplies for the upcoming week of activities, Bible study, and lessons we will have with the kids. During the morning we will be having a Bible lesson and activity for the younger children at the Child Development Center and during the afternoon we will do the same for the older children at the CDC. During the evening we will be visiting the local group homes and doing activities with them as well. The group homes we will be visiting house somewhere around 10-15 older teenagers that have had the opportunity to leave the orphanage. We are so excited to get to work and interact with the kids! Today we attended a morning and evening service at the local Romanian Baptist Church in Taranvan. It was such an awesome experience to sing some of the worship songs in English while we listened to them sing it in Romanian! Songs such as “Lord I Lift Your Name on High” and “As the Deer” are popular songs in both Romanian and American churches. We even had a little surprise whenever Leviu asked us to sing in front of the congregation for the evening service! We also got to observe the Lord’s Supper in a different country—it was so neat to hear the blessings of the body and of the blood in a different language whenever we knew exactly what he was praying for.
Our work at the CDC starts bright and early!
Keep us in your thoughts :)
