As I'm sure you already know, our mornings are spent prayer walking and our evenings are filled with evangelism. Well, as is usual with everything else in life, we're running out of time to finish all the work our team is needing to accomplish. On top of that, the weather is getting hotter and our bodies are getting tired faster. But is that going to stop us? NOT A CHANCE! We're here, not for our glory, not for our neat stories, not for our comfort (though the beds are quite nice), and not for vacation. We're here to work, to glorify our King, to share the gospel with souls who's time is really running out! So we will endure, despite the heat and the exhaustion, until our committed task is done. For all of you at home reading these blogs, please be in prayer for our team, for our new friends Justin and Marty, for the Youth at Holy Trinity who have been awesome in helping out every night - even giving up their Bible study time to join us tonight on the streets (I am extremely proud of these young people!!!), for the Romanian leaders like Bogdon & Mihai, for Randy & Teresa, and for Troy & his family. Please pray that our strength will be in the Lord. Please pray that our hearts will continue to hurt for these lost people. And pray for the members of our team to be thinking about how they can make evangelism a real part of life once we get back home. Thank you to all of you who are lifting us up daily!!!
Here is the team gathering together before going out to do evangelism. We meet every night at Holy Trinity around 6:30 and usually end here around 9:00.
Here is Justin sharing the gospel with a bunch of kids who just showed us why American adults should never play 'football' with Romanian kids...EVER!!! We got whooped!
One of the young kids following along, reading the Scriptures from a Romanian Bible. They were absolutely sharp!
Here is our soccer group. I'm not sure why the American's are the only one's really smiling. We were the one's who lost horribly and got schooled on the playground by people three times younger than we are. (Maybe even 6 times younger than some members of our team...not to mention any names!)
But don't let the Romanians fool you. Not all of them take serious pictures. Here is Ioana (Titi, the Youth Pastor's daughter) and Diana (my homegirl and friend of Ioana). These are two of the coolest young ladies I know and are absolute goofballs! Pray for me!!!

Yes PLEASE pray for Casey for two reasons: (1)I am the 6Xer he spoke of indirectly and with comments like those, I might have to hit him with my cane! (2) He needs to pray that he lives as long as I have...so far.
Keep up the great work! We are praying for you all!
This team is awesome! What a blessing to have them here working with us and for the glory of the Lord! They hit the ground running and haven't slowed down yet! Randy's having trouble keeping up with them, but enjoying every minute. I haven't heard one complaint, just words of encouragement and smiles on everyone's face. This team loves the Lord, and they came to do Kingdom work. In my opinion they deserve an A+, someone back at FBC in Cameron has set some great foundational ground work! Praise the Lord. We love you FBC-Cameron we appreciate your support and your prayers. God bless you. Teresa & Randy
