Our Upcoming Romania Mission Trip

A week from now we will be traveling to Romania for another mission trip there. This one will be a lot different though, as we are going to be helping out with a summer camp for the orphans there, and we will be there for 5 whole weeks in total. We are really excited about this and can't believe it is now only a week away! Throughout the week I am going to be posting more about this, and then while we're there we are going to update the blog as often as we can. For now though, I just wanted to share some maps of where we are going and to introduce this mission trip to everyone.

We will fly out of Grand Rapids to Detroit, from there to Amsterdam, and then to Bucharesti. The trip will be 5171 miles in total, and about 12 hours not including layovers. We will meet up with other volunteers along the way, as there are people coming from all over the country.

We will arrive in the capital city of Bucharesti and stay there for a few days for training. We will get our assignments of what we're doing at camp and get to know our new team-mates, and we'll also learn a little of the Romanian language, which we have also been working on a bit at home. After that we will travel to the camp which is in the mountains. Most of the orphans have never been to a place like this so it will be a totally new experience for them.


We'll be halfway around the world working to glorify God and to show these kids that we love them and Jesus loves them. What a privilege we have to be able to do this, praise God!
