Trip Summary from Jeby

2 Corinthians 5:14 -15: " For Christ love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. "

1 Corinthians 12:18-20: "...God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is there are many parts, but one body"

1 Corinthians 12:27: "Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is part of it"

Dear Praying Partners,

Let me try to summarize, the one week and share a few things the Lord did with 9 of us in Moldova.

The mission trip was wonderful. Very very tired with sores, second degree burns, back aches, broken knee, pulled muscle, etc. The team worked on lots of construction job like, building roof, tiling, mechanics pit, creating a ramp, tiling and tiling, drilling out concrete so the land could used for planting/vegetation and lots of cleaning. On top of all that we were able to do soup kitchen - very interesting because the food was made and then taken to the bed side of people homes. It was very unique, because the brothers were able to take time and read the bible and spend time in prayer as well. Also we had 2 gospel meetings, children meetings and Easter services.

All in all we had a full week. I guess the best part of it all was that we saw some fruits, one person named Dino (12 -13 yrs) confessed he wanted the Lord as his savior and wanted to be baptized, another man requested to come back next week for more questions (the Lord is working on his heart), a man who refused to read the bible when brought food, requested to read the bible (pray that the word will penetrate into that deepest darkest soul and bring forth light), a woman named Galina from the soup kitchen knew she was saved and wanted to be baptized. In the last gospel meeting, the lady across the street from where we stayed called the missionaries (Mathew and Ruth) and asked if she could be picked up for the evening meeting (I was told that she hasn't come for a long time), we also met a guy named Gheorgan (pron George), who showed interested in the things said in the message (pray that the seed in his heart will be well watered and grow to accept the Lord).

As I mentioned before with the verses, we all came with different things skills, gifts and talents. It was great to see how the Lord can use anything we give him (broken hearts, physically strained bodies etc.) for his Glory

I am thankful the Lord took us there, and Lord willing we can go back in the near future.

Thanks for all you prayers and being the backbone for all that we did in Moldova.
Please feel free to pass this along to friends and family that have prayed for us. We definitely felt all you prayers.
In HIM and may the Lord bless you all,
Thank YOU, Thank You.
