End of a Long Journey

What an awesome team! The mission team has completed their time in Romania but somehow I think this team will never be split because their time has come to an end in Romania. This team was built around 1 single prayer from Pastor Nathan Richey prior to their departure from Walnut. Pastor Nathan prayed for this team to have 'unusual patience' and 'good humor'. Both of these things were in great demand and the team came through with flying colors. There is no doubt that this team fulfilled Another Child Foundation's mission of reaching, teaching, and transforming lives. Together WE ARE changing the world! Below are the thoughts of team member David as the trip came to a close.

 

It was hard leaving the children today as we all head back towards our homes. We are so blessed knowing we made a difference in their lives and seeing many of them make decisions to follow Christ as their Savior. I am also a changed man with a renewed energy and compassion for not only all the hurting children in the world, but for all who need Christ. We all have our own stories. And our loving Lord knows them.  He longs to help us finish the book of our life on earth with healing, restoration and a whole life that comes through His Grace, Love and Lordship. It is a comforting thought knowing that the God Stories don’t end when the children and we go our different ways at the end of such a wonderful time of ministry with them, knowing that our messages of hope, love, and peace will not return void. It is a comforting thought, when we wipe away our tearing eyes after this incredible week, God is also doing new things in all our lives as we
process how big and wonderful God worked in reaching these children’s lives. I am very grateful for this experience and for the fact that Fundatia Buckner and Another Child Foundation is doing all they can to do more to help these kids and to challenge more people to reach out to the beautiful children in Romania. Thank you God also for the wonderful servants I was honored to work with while there. And to all the people behind the scenes faithfully supporting this ministry, in many different ways without which, it wouldn’t be possible. - David Henrikson
