Trust in the Lord wherever you are, in whatever you do, and serve Christ... One Day At A Time! May was a hard month, traveling-wise. It reminds me of how James writes how we don't know what our lives will bring tomorrow (or the rest of today, for that matter), so every day is a gift from God to be discovered. Throughout May we have made plans and traveled and done our work with thankfulness for every breath we're given. We're also very thankful that God blessed us with the finances to purchase a car that gets us from Point A to Point B, and serves us well in serving our community. Thinking about it, the best way to hit everything is with the bullet points. Here's a break-down of the month:
Much like when we read the Bible, the bullet points leave many specifics out, but our own experiences can easily fill in what it's like. Also, if you follow either of us on Facebook or Instagram, then you get to see the fruits of these times. But let's wrap it up, shall we? Prayer, Praise, People Here's a snapshot of how to pray for the ministry right now:
The Month In Pictures...We need to get better at taking photos of all that we do, but what we do have, we happily share! SPOTLIGHT: TravelI would love to share a Spotlight with you for May but we simply don't have one. It's been a busy month of travel, and the same applies to those we minister with and to, so there's no one to feature this May. That also means we've got no one to do our unity questions. But what if we were to do this month's Spotlight on travel itself, as though travel were a person? Hm... I admit, it might be a neat way to show you how our ministry looks when we're on the go! We live in Slatina, Romania, in Olt County, and work for Youth for Christ International, a branch of the Youth for Christ team that spans the globe. YFC "is a worldwide Christian movement working with young people around the globe. Motivated by our own faith we give young people everywhere the opportunity to be followers of Jesus Christ." The Youth for Christ Romania team is spread about the country, and this May we've traveled in support of those areas and the greater YFC vision for Romania. This is a completely different month, so we're going to do the Unity Questions differently as well, and I hope that you can see the personalities of our family of travelers on the road! Even more, I hope you'll see something of your own families reflected in the answers below!
IN CONCLUSION... Thanks for reading this newsletter, and may you likewise enjoy your families and travel in the months to come – make it an adventure to remember! |
