This months newsletter is being written by Max Campfield.
I am very thankful that God allowed me to go on a mission trip to
the country of Romania. God is definitely working in the lives of the
Romanians. While in Romania our group stayed at a church called
Salem. We would travel to different parts of the city and help the
citizens in several different ways. We also would help out around the
church. Half of our group worked with the younger kids preparing a
lesson for them, while the other half planned activities and a lesson
for the junior high. Both groups were very successful in their
teachings.
We also worked with another group doing Vacation Bible School. We
worked with children in a small village as well as children in
government housing. Each lesson talked about a story found on the
Bible such as Cain and Able or Abraham and Isaac. It was lots of fun
getting to see the children learn.
We also helped work at a type of daycare for poor gypsy children.
We worked with a wonderful woman named Rachel who would take care of
the children by bathing them, feeding them, and giving them a warm
place to sleep. It was great getting to help all of the children
there. Many of the children live in very unsanitary and incredible hot
houses made of just stone and dirt. The living arrangements are
definitely not great.
Overall my trip to Romania was excellent and showed me how
fortunate we as Americans are. It was very inspiring to see how even
though the people had very little they still chose to give all they had
to God.
May God continue to bless the country of Romania and the church at Salem.
***Next month we will have another young person who has made three trips to Romania doing mission work.
