heading for home

Well, we're all packing up our things and getting ready to head to Budapest at 5:00 a.m. (which for us is exactly 5 hours away right now...).

It has been an incredibly awesome week, and I really think God opened our eyes to a lot while using us to play a role in His Kingdom story through Rachel's ministry here in Romania. It often bothers me when mission groups travel somewhere thinking they are "taking God there" to that place, because I know that God is already working everywhere. He has been working here in Romania. He has gone before us, He has worked through us, and He will certainly continue to work here long after we leave.

We're thankful for the ways we've been able to serve this week and the people who gave and supported this trip so that we could be the hands and feet, or even just the fingertips and toes, of Rachel's ministry in Tinca. We accomplished (hopefully) a lot on the apartments and other various jobs around the Isaiah Center, and we played our hearts out with the kids in the village during the times we were there. The best we can give is our love, and hopefully we did just that.

We do still have a few people who aren't feeling well at all, so please be praying that they'll feel 100% better in the morning for a long day of travel. It will be a long and uncomfortable day if they still feel sick. We also don't need it to spread to the group and beyond when we get home! So pray for healing!!!

We'll see you on the other side of the world...tomorrow!!!
