On Sunday we were able to share a little about our time at camp with our church and it was great. Early last week we were asked to if we would be willing to talk about our trip and show some pictures. We had been wanting to do this so we were very excited. At each service we went up in front of church with a microphone, and Pastor Doug (our pastor of missions and multiplication) asked us some questions. Our pictures were being shown up on the big screens so that people could see what we did in addition to hearing. First we talked about what we did at camp. Then we talked about the most significant/impacting thing that happened at camp, so we told about our relationship with Elena. Third we told about some of the ongoing needs in Romania which are prayer, funding, and most of all people to go there and love the kids. Last we told a couple prayer requests. The congregation clapped for us a when we started and ended and we could tell that people were very interested in what we did. Many people that we didn't know came up afterward to us to talk about it and to show their support. We just felt so good because of the positive reaction. We just want to thank everyone at Fairhaven for their prayers and their support!
We are hoping that our church can partner with Heart 2 Heart to help minister to the orphans there, and our biggest hope is that many people will be inspired to go. There are short term trips happening all the time, and they are listed on the website: www.heart2heartint.org These trips are good for going there the first time because you are exposed to all the different sides of the ministry and you learn a lot about the Romanian culture. Longer term trips like what we just did are great to build solid relationships with kids. We are so thankful that we had the opportunity to go and we're praying that more people step up to the plate.
