Mission Romania: October 2012

UPDATE - October 3, 2012

PRAYER REQUESTS (those mentioned above are included)

*Continued boldness to preach the Gospel and the Truth.

*The Lord to continue to direct us in the building of His church here. For Him to be magnified in our lives and give us wisdom and grace.

*His direction and provision for the Thanksgiving Praise & Prayer event

*The Lord to bless and fill the women as we study Nehemiah each Wednesday night.

*The Lord to be glorified in the baseball ministry and use it to bring the children and their families to Him (and those who know Him, closer to Him).

*Provision for us to take a team to the Targu Mures baseball tournament on Oct. 13

*Provision for a batting cage and a building to practice in during winter months.

*The Lord to provide a "dedicated" baseball field for us.

*Provision for Elli's braces/our family dental needs (guess that should be before baseball needs??)

*A hedge of spiritual protection about our family/home and ministry.

* Good health !!! Coleen has been battling some health issues (nothing life threatening, but prayer for healing and grace is appreciated.

CC MISSIONS CONFERENCE - Millstatt, Austria

It was a great time of encouragement, adventure, teaching, worship, new friendships and many blessed moments/memories. We thank the Lord we were able to attend and be refreshed.

Some of our memories:

We found our retirement home.
Never mind the guests, they'll be gone in
a few hours ;o)

Our journey began with a drive to
Budapest, Hungary

Drive up to the castle

At the top of this turet is
the prayer tower - all
the windows go all
the way around.
JeJe enjoyed his morning
prayer time up there.

Backside of the castle.
It was once a Nazi SOS training center.
Now it is used for God's glory and
the refreshment of His people.

We assure you that
these boys know the back hillsides
of the castle VERY well....
enough said.

There is a pathway down the hill from the castle main lawn,
it leads to a hidden tunnel that takes you out to the lake and
the castle has its own private dock.

Plenty of playing to be done.

Almost every day brings rain and rainbows.
A couple days there were even double rainbows.

Our view - every day....yes picture perfect
(Austria is the CLEANest country we have ever been in)

Upstairs Main Meeting Room
(overflow down in large dining hall)

Getting ready to take a ride...

Holly (England) - she has come up with the wonderful idea of
getting rid of the term MK (Missionary Kid) and created
a facebook page called 2nd Generation Missions.
All the kids have a group on facebook to talk/share on.

If some of these people look familiar - several are
Chelsea Moon and her band (they played at CCEA
when Amir was there last).
They blessed us with worship, fellowship and
we had a blast on the water with them.
