Day 2 – teaser for the groupies

Blog addicts:

Given the multiple comments about people checking in on the blog throughout the day, we thought we’d give you a short update – the girls who are writing the blog tonight are having internet connection issues – so we won’t be able to post it before you go to bed. However, you have this to look forward to when you wake up on Saturday morning!

KEEP UP THE PRAYERS – they make a major difference and our team is clearly well-prayed over by all of you. Mulţumim Foarte Mult! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

You need to know:

  • Day 2 in Craiova was a huge success – a coffee house concert and talent show (lots of laughs, funny games and songs, and bi-lingual worship), many stories to tell!
  • The entire team remains healthy and strong with almost no issues left with jet lag as of this morning.
  • Our 6 lost bags finally arrived and the sound equipment made it here without any damage!
  • The students on this team are exceptional. They have an amazing attitude and heart for service that has consistently gone above and beyond what has been asked of them! We are so encouraged by these students. Parents – you should be proud. You have done an amazing job raising your children to love God and love others before themselves – and that is more and more evident with each day.
  • Our Romanian partners and the Open Roads ministry is passionately and effectively doing God’s work defending the cause of the fatherless, seeking justice, and encouraging the oppressed (Isaiah 1:17). This ministry a vibrant example of God’s grace lighting up the darkness that comes from abandonment and rejection. We are so humbled and honored to serve alongside of them and look forward to seeing how God uses this ministry in the years to come!

That’s it for now. So much for a brief bullet-point list! Check back tomorrow morning a more specific blog about today and some more pictures!

With love,

-Lief and the leader team from Daniel and Dana’s Open Roads Living Room “Headquarters”

  1. Well well well, the supposed blog addicts left this post uncommented on long enough for me to sneak in…I challenge Jimmy, Sarah and whomever else wishes to partake, in a trip-long contest to see who can be the first to comment the most often. Perhaps there could be an extra portion of Joe at the show-and-tell for the winner?

    Glad you guys are doing well! I wish so so so much I could be there right now with you all. Considering the fact that I have a spoon of double chunk chocolate cookie dough being slowly demolished by yours truly, that’s saying a lot- I would leave it all for Romania!

    As my pal Madison articulated so well the other day in her comment, it’s important to remember that, although these campers are suffering internally, we are ALL spiritually destitute and need restoration from Christ. Keep your humble hats on, and things will be so much easier. As 1 Peter 5:6 says, “Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.” Folks, the matter of your needing a spiritual/physical/mental lift up during this trip is not an “if”, it’s a “when”. Never fear though, the solution to this predicament has already been exposed to you.
