Hello everyone! So this is my first blogging experience and I am very very excited to let people know how my life is going here in Romania. As further illustrated, it is probably going to take me some time to get used to the feel and the poetic cloudiness and rambling usually associated with "Blogging."
Tonight is a big night for me. It is my first night at the Church's apartment. After successfully moving all clothes, books, guitar, and toiletries in, I managed to set up internet which allows me to keep in touch with the ones that live more than an ocean away. Now for some big picture things going on here with the ministry. Essentially there are 2 areas: First, I am serving the youth in teaching and giving messages that encourage them to live a godly life that constantly reaches out to those in need of a savior. The message and teaching usually involves a challenge to take the message out beyond Resita and into the villages. Within these villages live people who have really no connection to a church. A man named Luci here at Hope has devoted 3 years of his life (without income) to serving these people in bringing a few of them together in small faith communities. This is the second area that I am serving in. Over the past week or so I have been going with Luci to these villages introducing myself, sharing my testimony, and giving a word of encouragement from Scripture. There is much more to be shared about the ministry here, but for now this seems sufficient.
I want to thank everyone for all of the support, love and encouragement that has been graciously given to me by so many people. I am very excited to be a part of such a faith-adventure here in Romania. God is blessing me with the sustaining bread of his Word and comforting me with the warmth of new friends. Oh yea, I picked the title of this blog after one of the Scriptures that really shaped how I percieve missions: 2 Corinthians 2:14-17. Chew on this Scripture for a while. Enjoy!
