**The week after a mission trip is always one of my favorite weeks.  You have the opportunity to reflect on how God worked in the hearts of the people connected to the trip and you look through pictures and relive the parts of the trip that really spoke to you.

Our group consisted of 28 individuals from several states and they came together to form one of the strongest groups I’ve ever had the privilege of leading.  Every person worked incredibly hard while also building relationships with each other and the Romanian people that will last a lifetime.

We provided a VBS and a carnival in the church in Rogova that saw close to 150 kids show up and hear the gospel, play games and get connected to believers in their community.  We also had the privilege of clearing out the back yard of the church so it could be used for a play area for children and finishing a youth room that will be used to reach teenagers for years to come.

In Severin, our team provided a family carnival and had over 100 children (plus family members), most of which have never been to church before.  They too heard the gospel, played games and connected with our missionaries and other believers in the church.  Some of these families came to church this past Sunday and some even signed up for youth camp next week.

After five days of ministry we drove to the central part of the country to visit several of the most famous places in Romania including the Bran Castle (Dracula’s Castle), the city of Brasov and the Peles Castle (King’s Castle built in the 1800’s).

It was truly an incredible trip that will have lasting impact on the lives of the Romanian people as well as the American team that came together for the common purpose of reaching people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
