Romania Team

July saw us in Romania for a two week mission. In the mornings we were involved in two different locations Avrig and Mirsha for a kids club. Overall there were around 200 children who participated. we had a prizegiving at the end of the club where some of the children received prizes for bringing friends or for the worksheets they handed in, but every child went home with a goodie bag so no one was disappointed.
In the evenings we were involved in a youth camp and it was a joy for us to see 5 young people give their lives to Christ. Please continue to pray for them that they will continue to grow in their new found faith and will be encouraged in the ir respective churches.
The rest of our time was spent visiting various gypsy churches and encouraging the believers there.
After the team we were able to spend some quality time with Leo's mum and dad. Four years ago they lost their house in the floodings and as a result had to rebuild in a new area. God willing they will move in, in the next few weeks.
On our return, whilst driving through Hungary, Leo temporarily lost the sight in his right eye. At first an embolism of the retina was diagnosed but on visiting an eye specialist in Italy, he was told that it was a spasm of the muscle behind the eye. This was probably due to dehydration and stress on the eye.
The driving in Romania has really deteriorated and we had a few near misses. On one occassion a man overtookus dangerously on a stretch of road where there were road works, throwing stones onto the car. As a result of this our windscreen shattered and had to be replaced. We do thank God for his protection on all our travelling as we do clock up quite a number of kilometers, that He kept us safe and free from harm.
We'll more than likely being going back to Romania next year, so why not come and join us? Contact GLO Motherwell for further details.
