Romania experience strengthens bonds

This mission has afforded us the time and opportunity to not only become acquainted with several Romania chorus members and hear about their customs, needs and hopes, but we also have traveled two weeks together as a group and had time to interact among ourselves – to become more intimately acquainted and discover common ground.

 

That will certainly enhance our cohesive interactions in the future. We are now aware, first hand, of the many real needs here (in Romania), and this mission may last much longer than we originally realized. Certainly, an ongoing need for specific items of prayer, as well as possible material assistance is undoubtedly in order.

 

The Romanian churches here are much more on "the same page" with us and our faith than we originally may have imagined. In some respects, even more informed than us. The cultural differences are minor. We will definitely come away from this mission changed forever – positively!
