Well, the count down has begun as we are already partly through our last week of outreach. It’s sad to think that we are coming to an end of outreach, but at the same time its exciting because we are looking forward to the new adventures that God has planned for our lives.
We have been continuing working with the ministries here at the YWAM Constanta base. Today Cristia and Olof went to...
Romania Update :)
First of all I would like to say that this last week has been awesome, it has been our privilege to be involved with the Constanta Romania YWAM base and their many local ministries. Last week Leanne, Tash and I worked with children at the day center located a few blocks from the base. Playing with the children, telling bible stories, and making crafts being typical daily routines. One of the more...

Well, we are off to a very good start here in Constanta, Romania. The base here is very active in the community, and in our 2 days of working here, we’ve gotten to participate in 5 of the ministries they have. Tasha, Ian, and Leanne have been going to a Day Center each day, where children come for a meal, activities, and help with homework. They’ve been doing crafts, telling...
Romania, and Snow
After over 24 hours of travel and 3 trains and a taxi we have arrived without serious incident in Constanta Romania and were warmly welcomed into the local YWAM base. Currently, the weather is freezing cold! Its been snowing steadily and a good deal of snow has already on the ground, some have said that its the worst winter in 25 years. Hopefully this fact wont hinder any of our work here. the...
January 5th. Stara Zagora...up,up and away!
When I write this I’m sitting at an office in the central part of the city Stara Zagora. We got here with the intercity bus yesterday due to our previous plans for transportations didn’t work out. On the other hand the bus we took were cheaper so praise god for inconvinience(!). Anyhow, we got to the city and our contact person Stilian was miraculously there to pick us up (our contact...

Well, it has been two weeks since our first glimpse of this country, all except for Tassha, who was here before, and I think we have settled in rather nicely. We have been working mostly with one gypsy church here in Sliven, with two wonderful couples. Radko (who picked us up in our cold, lost, and confused state that first day from the train station) and his wife Nevin, and Mitko and his wife...
Velcome to Bulgaria!
We were very glad to have beds to sleep in at the end our traveling adventure. We are staying in an apartment here. It’s not the warmest place, but its dry and we have many blankets. It even has a small stove! Cristia prayed for one…and we are all very glad for it! While we are here in Sliven we are going to be doing mainly church services and spiritual warfare for this city (lots...
A long Journey
Get from Spain to Bulgaria. Seems simple enough. Well…. we found the truth to this matter.
On December 13th we 6 bade farewell to Next Wave and took our first steps towards outreach. Bundled up and ladened with our gear we made our way to the bus station. We took a bus and two trains and after a long time finally made it to the airport in Barcelona! We took Cheryl along with us because...

The first place we are going to is a city called Sliven, Bulgaria. We will be working with the YWAMers there, mainly focusing on doing ministry with Roma...
