The   people   here  have  great   faith ,   after   all   they  went  through  for  many  years.    Pastor  Elena  has  showed  them that  GOD  is  mighty  and can  overcome  many  things.   The   churches here  are  beautiful  with  their  domes  and  paintings  but  you  can  sense  they  have  no  souls  only  tradtions  .  Pastor  Elena’s  church  building  is  plain  and  simple  but  the  people  here  worship  with  their  heart  and  soul.    When Pastor  James told  the  team  that  the  members  from  Romaina  were  praying  and  fasting  for  us   that  they  really  wa nted  us  to  be  there. 

The  buildings  are  so  beautiful  the way they  are  made  with Roman, Greek, Spanish,  and other periods  rolled  into them.  Some  are brightly colored green, yellows,reds, blues  yet some are ruins.  It’s hard sometimes for the upkeep  the prices are so high and people are very poor.   So it’s food or  upkeep.  Talking  about upkeep.  Talking about  upkeep  I came with JB  and left with  and extremely ugly plucked chicken  .  Tar anyone?   Meet me at the airport. 

Jonah and the Whale  was  the  parable that  came  to  mind  when  we  were  doing  outreach.  It was a whale  fountain  that  Pastor Mimi, Sister  Livia, Sister Carmen  and  led the children  in  worship  and  song.   Just like Jonah coming out  of  the  whale  to  finish GOD’S   plan  so  we  are  too.                 JessieMarie

Dear Jessy Marie,

This is just to let you know about the deep impact you and Selah have had in the lives of your host family in Romania. Mrs. Nita called me specifically to tell me that. May the Lord continue to bless you and use you in the lives of many.

In Christ,

Pastor Bogdan
