Condolences for Alexandra and Family

Our Romanian mission team recently received word that one of our translators has lost her mom. Alexandra’s mother recently passed away. We would like to extend our prayers and condolences for her and her family. We love you Alexandra, and we are praying for you!!!!
We hope you find comfort in the following verses.

Psalm 34:17-18
“The righteous cry out and the Lord hears them. He delivers them from their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Special Thanks to Regina Boyter

I would like to take a page in the blog to thank Regina Boyter for ALL she did to get our blog up and running. On the trip she spent countless hours in the wee hours of the night working to add stories and pics to our blog. I know this was such a tremendous blessing to my family and so many others to be able to see and read about what we were doing. As I help to add pictures to the blog now, I realize just how many pics she took, and how few of them she was actually in!!! We will make sure that doesn't happen again next year!!!

Regina did so much during that week. She helped organize the feeding of hundreds of villagers. She took countless pictures. She posted new blogs when everyone else was sleeping...except our pranksters Tanner and JC of course. She was a nurse to some of our own members. She was always available to do anything that someone needed her to do. She was a joy to be around!!! Her smiles and great attitude radiated out to all those who were around her.

Regina, don't shoot me for adding this info about you. I just wanted to make sure that all who enjoy the blog know who took the time and energy to start and maintain it. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. I'm so glad you went on the trip, and I can't wait until next year!!!

Forever friends!

Love, Amy

Receiving Bibles

One of the most awesome things we did during our trip was to be able to give the Romanians bibles in their native tongue. We had complete bibles, New Testaments, and children's bibles. At each event that these were passed out, they were all gone within minutes. People of all ages were so happy to receive their own copy of God's word. The following are pictures of people right after they received their new bibles.
