LCM Romania 2008 Team: back row- Jon, Joelfront row- Ashley, Ed, Amber, Emily, Sarah, Theresa
Hey y’all!!
Currently, we are sixteen days away from our departure for Romania. I think I can speak for everyone by saying that we’re all very excited for this mission trip. We have been working hard to prepare for the Camp Directors’ Institute (CDI), as well as for our time assisting Romanian camps that are trying to get off the ground. The planning can be strenuous at times, but we know that God will use us in ways we could never imagine.
Last weekend we were visited by Jack Friend and his family. Jack has been in Romania for the past few years helping train future camp leaders in Romania. He helped us to prepare for CDI, and also filled us in on some cultural and language information that will help us out overseas. The whole LCM group thanks the Friends, especially Jack, for all their help as we prepare for our mission trip.
Finally, here is how we could use some prayer. First, pray for us as we continue to prepare for CDI and for the other stops on our trip. We still have a lot of planning to do, so we need help discerning what specifically God wants us to do while on this trip. Second, pray that funds continue to come in. We are currently just over $9,400, which is an incredible blessing from God. We still have a long way to go for this trip, as well as the Slovakia trip in March, however, so please continue to pray for God’s provision. Finally, please pray for our team. For many of us, this is our first time traveling overseas. This means that along with the excitement comes a great deal of apprehension about the adventure ahead of us. Also, pray that we are able to grow closer together as a team, that we can overcome language barriers, that we stay safe throughout our trip, and that we will not let ourselves get in the way of what God has planned.
Thank you for all of your support. We could not do this without you!!
God bless,
Theresa
