On The Road Again!

It's 5 o'clock in the morning, and Transit Team 4 are setting out on another epic drive. As Chorong said in our first video, "Transit is about adventure!", and we're sure that another adventure awaits us as we travel from Moldova to the OM Hungary base near Budapest! The trip will take between 18 and 22 hours, but we're aiming to beat all expectations! Pray that it goes well and that we all get enough rest to make use of the training time in Italy.

God's richest blessings to you!

Our trip so far....

Greetings from Moldova! We having a great time here and finishing soon. The new video about Moldova is coming soon. Enjoy meanwhile a little summary about the last two months of Transit!

Moldova Baby!

On Sunday 3rd September we arrived at the OM Moldova base in Chișenău and were welcomed by some of the team there. We stayed in Chișenău until Tuesday. On Monday we were briefed on Moldovan culture, Moldovan church culture and what we would be doing in the village of Paicu.

We are now in Paicu, a village in the southern Moldova, working with an evangelical church.  

A lot of our ministry here has been through physical work and helping the congregation with the infinite number of tasks that they have to do. Gardening, shovelling dirt and moving a car – the Transit team can do it all!

Another crucial part of what the church does here is an after school club for children. Every week day we have around 25 kids who come to have a meal, play games, have teaching from the Bible and an English class. It's been a lot of fun and the kids have been learning a lot.

We have also helped with OM's food deliveries for the elderly in the area. The ladies of the church prepare hot food each day which is taken to elderly people struggling to look after themselves. It's not physically draining, but it is emotionally very hard to see how little some people have. It's a blessing to be a part of helping them and showing God's love to them.

One of our ministries has involved going to the kindergarten and doing games, songs and a story with the children. It was a lot of fun, and best of all the kids learnt more about how much Jesus loves them!

We are having a wonderful time here at the church in Paicu, although we're all pretty tired. Pray that God will continue to supply us with he energy that we need for everything we're doing, and please pray that God will really use us to bless the church, reach out to those who need Him and glorify His name!

God moved in Romania! - Videoblog 2

Dear Followers, we made a Video to summarize our time in Romania! God worked powerful! Watch and enjoy! We already arrived in Moldova and started our Ministry today, more on that in the next view days.

Hard Circumstances, Huge Blessings.

Although they face poverty, They are more blessed than we will ever be in so many ways. God’s love for them is overwhelming. He loves them so much and their faith is proof of it. With the abundant blessings the Lord reigns down on them, it would be impossible for them not to have such faith though.. . Honestly I don’t think many of those kids could live, if it weren’t for the Christians sent by God to this area of the world. I especially don’t think that any of them would have a single fun moment in their lives if it weren’t for the love of the Lord all around them. . God is so good to these people! !

Romping Romania Gypsy Stylie!!

 

 

These kid’s came by the hundreds, and the love of the Lord came even more abundantly. We got to cycle from village to village sharing the love, hope, and peace of the Lord.

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!
