Two Lost

I have taken on the task of youth leader to the International Community here in Moldova. I was hesitant at first, but I really love it. I enjoy the small group I have, with kids ranging from age 10 to 17. We meet along with the parents and kids twice a month for service and have an activity once a month. It is great! We have missionary kids, embassy kids and kids just visiting. But our group is small. And sadly, we just lost two. Jon (13) and Rebekah (15) were only in Moldova for three months. Their dad was here on a Fulbright scholarship. Last night was their last night. This is something one gets used to in Moldova: people coming and going. But we will surely miss them. And I pray they will continue to grow in the Lord when they return to the states.

Morning Prayer

We sat at the Home of Hope today: women, workers and one small child. On Tuesdays we have meetings about how life is going in the home, practical scheduling and always a small Bible study. Today we decided to pray for one another. And the sharing began. It was amazing to see how the workers have become so close in the past year. The women in the home are slowly revealing their brokenness before us and before God. We just prayed for our families abroad, sisters still stuck in trafficking, and the future of the women in the home. Their hearts are really softening to God. The littlest one, our 2.5 year old, ended the prayer with a loud exclamation: "There! We prayed!!" And that was it, but God moved. And He still moving in the Home of Hope. So when we are praying Tuesday mornings don't hesitate to pray with us and for us.
