Pray With Me

In a few days I will be heading to Romania. My team and I will be doing anything from VBS with Romanian children to building a playground. This is going to be an exciting trip for many reasons. But it will also be a hard one.

Why will it be exciting?
1. It is my first real chance to truly connect with the teens I will get to minister to over the next few months.
2. Many will see a way life they have never experienced before.
3. Lives will be changed. Changed for the Lord.
4. Lord willing, the Romanians we will work with can see the brightest of lights shining through us.

Why will it be hard?
1. Romania is a dark country.
2. The devil is very much alive and active.
3. The days will be long and tiring.


-- Commit -- 
1- to put into charge or trust : entrust,
2- to carry into action deliberately. 


I trust you. Can you COMMIT?

Can you please COMMIT to pray for this trip?

As I think about the importance of this trip, one thing keeps coming to mind - That the Lord will become known. That He will become known to the people we are reaching out to, but also to those of us reaching out. Yes, safety is a concern but I ask that you focus your prayers on the saving of peoples souls. Even if it is just one soul saved. Its for ETERNITY.

Please pray that the devil be cast far away. If he grabs a hold of us, please pray that we have the strength - through the Almighty God - to shake him off and that the Lord's unmistakeable light will wipe away the devils darkness.

I know I may be asking a lot of you, especially when I can't give you very many details. But please know that your prayers are very much needed and appreciated.

" The light shines in the darkness, 
                    and the darkness has NOT overcome it.

                                                                                   John 1:5

  2. Hi Caitlyn, I hope all is going well. We are all very proud of you and the mission you are on. We are all praying for you. Make sure the Armor of God is stapped on tight.
