BILL WHITE

As you can see Bill was a hit wherever we went with both the children and our youth. People are drawn to Bill. I couldn't count how many children Bill held during the week. Below- Bill and Ken with 3 of our translators, Maria, Alexandra & Danny.




Bill, Just how many bubbles did you blow?








Bill with children at the handicap school and below with Kathy at the market trying to buy baby chicks!






KEN aka Ken Mountain of JOY

Anybody that knows Ken could figure out how he got the name Ken Mountain of Joy from the kids in Romania. He was the leader of the pack! No matter where he went he was the main attraction; in his words only so he could tell them about his JESUS!
He was the lead singer and the leader of the praise band. They sang at the orphanages, the villages we went to, at every church we went to and they were invited to sing at a local public school for their end of the year program! What a great job they did!





















Kathy & the Bible

This is another one of my favorite pictures. This little girl just recieved her new children's Bible and Kathy was showing her the pictures. We gave out hundred's of Bible's, both children's and for adult's. More Bible pictures to come!

Reggie's favorite ladies

These were two precious ladies we met in one of the villages we visited. They are 85 and 87 years old. We were able to pray with them and they hoped God would bless us for being there. They are friends and take care of one another. One lady was able to make it to the festival but the other was not able. Please pray for these ladies!

MORE BUDAPEST






















LINDA ZYGOS



We could always count on Linda to keep us cool; try anyway! She had her fan and the children as well as us loved it. At right she is with a gentleman and his new Bible. Everyone was so excited and proud to recieve a them. Linda was always ready with a word of encouragement and kept us going!

























AMY GILLION

Amy with Zack and Alexandra and two ladies in Balbona. Also with Will and our Romanian discovery Finetti, a chocolate spread you put on bread or french toast!





How much fun we had with Amy in Romania. She was a hit with her drum! All the children loved it and Amy as well. She was always there ready to play and then to have the kids help her play. She was a great friend to us all on the trip and will be a life long friend to me as well as others. The lady in the picture above had a sore toe and Amy was able to pray with her before we left.







WILL MUFF


Even after moving away we sure are glad Will & Stacey decided to still go to Romania. They certaintly were the glue that held us together through a lot of things. It was a relief to have them coordinate the childrens activities at the orphanages and the festivals.
What a sport to see Willl get a whip cream pie in the face! It was the highlight of the child's day!
God Bless You and we all miss you!

Budapest Wedding

While in Budapest we were at the Fisherman's Bastion and came upon this couple having their wedding pictures made. What a beautiful site overlooking the river and the city beyond!
Simply breathtaking! May God Bless this couple!

KERRI SCOTT



Kerri was one of our most tender hearted giving people with us. Wherever we went we would just about leave Kerri behind because she was talking to somebody and trying to see what she could do to help them. While we were leaving a restaurant one night there was a little boy sitting at the entrance patiently waiting for somebody to give him a handout. Kerri was the one that noticed him and said "we can't leave with that little boy hungry". She ordered him and his family food and waited until it was prepared to give it to him. We would tease her about giving away everything she had, shouldn't we all be like that?
