Prayer Requests

 Hey All!
Just putting some prayer requests on here so that you all know how to pray for those on the team who are going to Romania. We are now around two weeks away from departure and ready to see what God does while we are overseas.

For the team-
(Cathy Bond, Rebecca Chrisman, Matthew Phillips, Zachary Phillips, Gabrielle Cullins, Sierra Cullins, Cassidy Grom, Mark Hale, Savannah Hale, Chris Harbin, Kyle Harbin, Pastor John Hedberg, Pastor Keith Joseph, Lynn Lagermann, Mike Lagermann, Karen Murray, John Pulliam, Kim Pulliam, Alison Pulliam, Jonathan Rideout, & Alicia Vessels) 
      Missionaries there-

      ( Achim & Brenda Barbos, Heather Donnelley)
Children there-
(Romanian & Gypsy children in Finate, Romanian & Gypsy children in surrounding villages) I didn’t like to say Romanian & Gypsy, like they should be different. However, there are such racial tensions there, I felt you need to be made aware of this situation. In God’s eyes, we are the same, unfortunately, they don’t see it this way.
                
Pastors-
(Keith & John, leading the conference, Pastor Morcan in Romania setting up the Pastor conference, & our Pastors here ministering to our own folks)
Travel Safety
Health/Wellness (before, during & after our trip)
 Unity

Thank you for your support!

Ramblings....

Just counting down the weeks now (four by now) and getting more excited as they pass. I am looking forward to seeing what God will do in my life as I go to this other country. For a while now I have been imagining what my first overseas mission trip will be like and now that I am very close to actually experiencing it I am actually a little nervous.  Where will my life go after this? Will I continue to do things as I have always done or will this bring about a change in me? I guess the only way to answer my questions is to go and experience and see what God brings about. He has a great plan for me and I can't wait to see what happens!

A few weeks back I read some of the book "Kisses from Katie" by Katie Davis and I have to say that she is now a role model for me. She went to Uganda a few years ago on a mission trip, during high school i think, and fell in love with the Ugandan people while seeing the poverty there. She was there she felt God telling her that this is where she was supposed to be. I can only hope that someday I will feel the voice of God telling me that THIS is where he wants me to serve, though I wonder where that will be. :) I pray that The Lord will keep me faithful, humble and reliant on him as I journey forward.

In Christ,

Sierra

Romania

I am now only six weeks away from my trip to Romania and getting more excited as the days go by. As of right now I am still fundraising but I am closer to my goal then when I started. God has provided thus far and I believe that He will provide the rest. I have another meeting with my teammates this coming Sunday so I am looking forward to learning some more about this trip and what we will be doing. Please pray for continued guidance for me and my team as we prepare to make a differience in these people's lives.
