Natalie and I, along with our amazing Bridgeway Team, headed off to minister in Romania on June 27th. Our team of 11 was great! We had spent a good part of the spring and early summer meeting and planning, as well as working together on fund-raisers. Here's our team the morning we are headed out to SFO to catch our flight to Amsterdam:
Ready, set, go!
Bringing along three guys was something to be excited about! The kids over there just loved the guys and immediately turned them into human jungle gyms! (Later, they were recruited for an afternoon soccer match with the older kids.)
Ready, set, go!
Waiting to board-
The layover in Amsterdam.... and our three favorite Dutch Brothers!

Together with the Heart2Heart staff we did week-long VBS sessions for kids at two different orphanages. We had a wonderful time presenting a Bible story with a skit, crafts, and games. Our drama productions were close to Broadway in caliber - we spared no expense in costuming and staging, and our actors, well, look out Tony Awards, here we come! Of course I'm being facetious here, because what happened was amazing! The Lord was able to use what we had (limited resources, an outdoor park, and willing hearts)--He is always able!-- and we were able to teach the kids about His Power and Amazing Love for them.
And the fun of games!
And crafts!
More pictures of the kids can be viewed in the slideshow on the left of the blog.
The theme of our first VBS was "God is Amazing!"
or, in Romanian: "Dumnezeu este minunat !"
He surely is!
