Field Update # 5
Hello everyone,
I'm writing to ask that you please keep my team especially in your prayers over the next day or two.
The young man who I asked you to pray for last week is now being sent home. We're believing that this decision will be a beneficial one for him, and that he will use it as an opportunity to make some dramatic changes in his life. But it's definitely not easy to sit beside a young man and have to tell him that we're going to have to send him home from his mission trip early, and it definitely won't be easy on my team to lose one of their family members. Please pray for us, that the transition would be smooth, that this young man's life would change dramatically as a result, and that my team would be able to move on quickly from the loss.
This morning my team is at a state-run [and I use the word "run" very loosely here] orphanage, which will more than likely be a shock to them. Our Global Partners have told us that the government orphanages here in Romania are in horrible condition, and the kids are dirty and basically uncared for. I'm praying that my team will be impacted greatly, and that the kids that they come into contact with would remember the love of Christ that we share with them. Please pray that this would be an impactful visit for my team, and that many orphans' lives would be affected as a result.
Thank you for your prayers and your support. It means a lot to know that when my arms are tired I can call on your faithful support to hold up my arms and see the victory won.
May the Lamb that was slain receive the reward of His suffering!
Your Fellow WorldChanger,
