Once Upon a Time in Romania...

Here are a few glimpses of what we've been doing in Romania so far:

You never thank God for an indoor shower until you don't have one! This is our shower whilst at the base for the cycling outreach in the base at Pitesti,  Romania, and Gabby (from OM Romania) has fixed it up wonderfully! It's sometimes warm, sometimes cold, but it always has a beautiful view! Showering under the stars - it's not something you get to experience very often!

This is the whole team on the bikes. For this outreach our team consisted of 18 people from 11 different countries, which is an excellent experience! On Thursday we left Pitesti on the bikes and headed for the gypsy village of Pauleasca. We worked with the kids, youth and church in Pauleasca and cycled to one other village on Friday to do a kids' programme.

On Thursday night we took part in the service of the church in Pauleasca. A young group from Pitesti also came and led worship. We four different langauges and eleven different nationalities all singing How Great is Our God. The Romanian gypsy children drowned us out and it was fantastic!

Just a glimpse of how happy we made the children and how happy the children made us. They were full of joy and appreciated everything we did for them, and they captured our hearts with their beautiful faces and brilliant smiles!

During the last kids' programme, Edme, a young woman from South Africa on our extended team, asked any kids' who wanted to give their lives to Chrsit to come forward. Most of them did - it was amazing. God used us there.

This is most of our team for the week - minus most of the OMers - along with some  people from the Pauleasca. The people blessed us so much. They made us feel so welcome and, even though we couldn't speak the same language, we were able to communicate how much we appreciated each other.

Prayer points:

• That the people working continuously in Pauleasca would be blessed and that the people would see through that how mush God loves them
• That the children who committed their lives to Christ would keep on growing and learning to serve God every day
• That the rest of the work we will do in Romania (we leave on Thursday) will be glorifying to God!

We hope you enjoyed the pictures! Please keep on praying for us, thank you for keeping up with what we're doing. Remember to subscribe - that way you will get an email update when we post so that you don't have to keep on checking!

God bless!
