Hi Everyone,

My name is Katelyn Gabrielse and I am so pumped to be going to Romania in 1 week.  I am currently a senior at Abundant Life Christian School and have been going to Blackhawk all my life.  I am passionate about music and worship.  I also love playing volleyball in the fall and singing and acting in musicals in the spring.  Thats enough about me…now I’ll share a little bit about why I wanted to go to Romania in the first place!  First off, I know God is doing incredible things already with Open Roads ministry in Romania.  I am so excited to see how God will use the Open Roads ministry to touch so many lives.  I am also looking forward to making new friends in Romania and building relationships with people.  (Hopefully I’ll get a few new pen pals).  Secondly, I love going on trips with Blackhawk because I become so much closer to my friends, but most importantly I grow closer to God.  Now it’s time to pack and get the final preparations done so we can be ready to leave in a week!

Thanks Everyone for all your support!!
