Well, we finally got to Rimnicu Valcea last night at about 3 am local time or about 7pm on monday night in Springfield. So it took us a little over 27 hours to make the journey. We had a 6 hours layover in Amsterdam where we were able to get out of the airport and see a couple of the sights. As we were walking along, we were making our way to an old cathedral when we realized we weren't in the best area. In the midst of our wandering tourist thought we wandered into the red light district. Big woops! We didn't know which way to go to get out of the area and the more we tried the further into it we got. It was quite a laugh as well as an eye opener for some of the team realizing the lives some live. Sad!
Today was a great day of ministry out at a Village called Govora. In the morning we went out and played futbol (soccer) with some of the local kids. We also had a tennis camp that Tammy, Layne and Sarah led out in. It was great spending time with some of the local kids, some of them even invited us to go swimming with them tomorrow. This evening we played more futbol and also taught them badmitton and frisbee. Drew & Reid even beat a couple of the girls in a Badmitton match. We also had a visit from the Mayor of the town (who is a seeker) and thanked us for coming and helping invest in the kids lives. God is really doing some great things in this small town. Please pray, I have listed a couple of prayer request below:- Please pray for the kids we are hanging out with. There are some great opportunities in relationship building.
- We have presented the Gospel each time and hope that God will continue working and show them the truth.
- Pray for Ionica, Claudia, Anastasia, Cristi and the rest of the team here as they continue building relationships with the people in Govora.- Pray that we follow the Spirit's leading and taht we are do exactly what God wants us to do as a team.
- Pray for a good night sleep for our team as we haven't had much sleep.
-Brian
