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 challenging activities we participated in (personally at least) was hunting for lice. Winter weather has been far to cold to treat their hair with shampoos (which arn’t commonly found in Romania) and with the living conditions some of them endure, it is a constant battle against the tiny menace. Last Friday we all worked at the cafe “New Wine” (based on Matt9:17, and not actually selling wine) Cristia and I Barista-ing, that was really enjoyable :), Olof provided live music, meaningful confersations were had with the college age students that attended. Another themed night is in store for this Friday. Matt, Cristia and Olof have been working with a shelter for young girls and a ministry for street people, I look forward to starting with these this week, as we are rotating around the various areas of YWAM Constanta. Pray for us in these last weeks of our time here. :)
Like Isaiah said “Here I am Lord, Send me!” let that be our motto in this week, “Here we are Lord, use us!”
