Sunday Worship Part 2, 6/29

    Today was our last day of serving here in Romania. We had three church services to go to, and at all three services Brianne, Gianna, and Paul sang two songs, and Pastor Tom gave the sermon. 

    The first service was at the church we are staying at, Ocna Sugatag Baptist Church, and Vera and Dave Masterson gave a quick overview of the work we completed here. We also surprised the church with a plaque for their 10 year anniversary, which was this week! A huge praise is that we had three people show up to this service that we helped and invited during eyeglass clinic! Pray for them to continue coming back to church!

    At the second service, Jim gave his testimony, and it was wonderful and powerful. These two churches are very small, our team alone took up most of the available seats.

    The third service was in Sighet. Here Vera and Dave Miyatake gave the overview for the trip and work completed. A lot of the translators and others who helped us during the week attend this church, so it was wonderful to see them there!

    The sermon was on 1 Thess. 1:1-4 which is one of Paul's many letter introductions where he is giving thanks for those to whom he is writing. It was a fitting sermon because we are so extremely thankful for the church and people here in Romania, and the sermon was a great reminder to always be thankful for the church family.

    It was also an emotional day, because we grew close to those working with us over the past week, and now we have to say goodbye. A lot of relationships were formed over this trip, be praying that the distance won't cause these relationships to die out. Pray that we will remain faithful to pray for each other always.

Prayer Requests:
- Give thanks and praise for the church family here in Romania
- Pray that they can continue the work we started here.
- Pray for the relationships formed, that they would continue despite the distance

Thank you for reading!
