slugshooter Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) I am not sure if this should be in the religion room or not, but felt it would get more traffic here. If it needs to be moved I understand. I believe that the Lord has laid it on my heart to travel with my church to Romania in December on a missions trip. This trip does not come without cost obviously and if left to try to pay on my own, there is no way that I could afford it. Let me be clear and state that if the Lord lays on your heart to help me with this endeavor, none of the money would go to me, it would go straight to the church. I will gladly PM you the address to mail anything straight to the church. I know in this bad economic time, that even a little money is a lot, trust me, I know, having been unemployed for 9 months. God blessed me with a job, and I feel that I should give back. I also feel that with the recent passing of my Grandfather, that this is what he would want me to do. If you are unable to donate monetarily, my church is also collecting empty prescription bottles, as well as used eyeglasses that can be shipped to the church. I will gladly provide a link to the church missions website at the bottom of this post, as well as the phone number for the missions coordinator in a PM if so desired. The church is having a yard sale at the end of August that my wife is going to work and any money raised is applied to the balances of anyone going, as well as volunteering her time to work in the church thrift store. Since I found out about this trip last Sunday I have had a great desire to go, and feel that it will only help me grow spiritually in helping those who cannot hear the gospel regularly. We will also be distributing medical and hygiene supplies. If for nothing else, I just ask for your prayers as I try to accomplish this endeavor. Please also pray for my decision regarding my plans to attempt to earn a Master in Divinity in the future. I am looking at several schools right now and I believe that this is the path that I am supposed to be embarking on, and should have been for a long time. Thank You, Marc http://www.wingsoffaith.com/ministries.php?id=11100&:pullup: Edited July 21, 2009 by slugshooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyderpancake Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 That is awesome! What part of Romania are you going to? My brother-in-law moved over from Romania 2 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugshooter Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 We would be flying into Cluj and staying there at night but traveling to outlying villages during the day. The church currently does a lot of work in Ferma Larga and there is a construction trip going there in the spring also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
