Romania Recap

As many of you already know, I went on a 10-day mission trip to Romania in May just one week before flying to South Africa for the summer. It was an incredible trip and such a privilege to witness all the ways God worked through our team in the Gypsy village.

Now that I've had some time to look back and reflect on the trip, I really feel that my purpose in going was to serve my teammates just as much as it was to serve the Gypsy people. I had so many awesome conversations with people I had never met before this trip. I shared my testimony (the story of how I came to know and love Jesus) with several new friends and also had the opportunity to share the story of God's faithfulness in guiding me to South Africa with lots and lots of people. I know that after those 10 days, several new friends and I will never be the same. What an awesome God we serve!

One of the guys who went on the trip compiled video footage and pictures to create a "recap video" of our trip. It's really emotional for me to watch. It takes me right back to that village where God was so evident and reminds me of so many incredible stories.
