To Make You More Than a Religion...

Hey guys! Sorry I didn't update you yesterday! It was a very long day but here's what happened! My team got to go door to door in a nearby village. We are starting a nation wide campaign here in Romania. It's to read your Bible. Simple as that! To read your Bible every day. I can't honestly say I do it. It was awesome to watch our Romanian friends talk to these people. They have the greatest sense of urgency I've ever seen about spreading the gospel. Sadly, my team of four got mainly "No"s and "The Bible isn't important enough to spend any time reading it". It broke my heart for these people. To walk away from a home that just refused to talk to you about Jesus and knowing they are going to hell, is truly humbling and extremely sad. God save those people!

Today, my team was back at the Day Center. We made pillows. The kids were beyond thrilled but it quickly turned into a huge pillow fight with 15 little participants. It was so awesome! After a long day at the Day Center we took food to a family of a few of the kids. They have a family of eight living a room probably smaller than most of your master bathrooms. To see such conditions really makes your greatful for all the things you take for grante.

It's been a really good couple of days... long... but great!
Prayer Requests:
  • PLENTY of rest tonight!
  • A couple of our team members came down with some kind of stomach thing today. Pray it goes away quickly and isn't spread. They all brushed their teeth with the water and no one else did so we're thinking it was caused by that.
  • Pray for boldness and urgency tomorrow as we tell people about Jesus
  • Pray for ready and willing hearts to commit to reading their Bibles

It's been an awesome week so far! We're half way through! Thank you so much for the prayers and support! I love you all more than you know!

Forever His,

EmilyJo
