Last Days in Romania

Romania is a very beautiful country and is filled with beautiful art!!!

Finally getting out of isolation and getting to see the country and culture of Romania was a blessing! I felt free and thankful. I do appreciate the moments I was in isolation serving my squad because it definitely brought light to my personal walk with the Father. He took me to the scripture, Matthew 20:28 “just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

It is blessed to put others above yourself.

We got to finally experience ministry! From 9am-10am was intercession prayer over Craiova, then from 10am-12 we did administration ministry, then we would have a break from 1pm-4pm. Later we would go out into the town and evangelize from 4pm-8pm. Evangelism was definitely hard for me. It took me out my comfort zone. I’m used to just going and praying for people, but this kind of evangelizing was based on building that relationship with people first, something I’m not strong in yet but God is definitely molding my character to be bold and courageous!

I got a chance to tell my testimony to these two teen girls in the park and I pray for them that a seed was planted. I also got a chance to pray for this young man in the park. When I prayed for him I could feel the power of God touching him as he flinched and his whole demeanor changed. I went to shake his hand but he went for a hug… my heart swelled with joy! An older lady was smiling at me when I walked by and I saw that she had jewelry on her neck and arm. She told us “hi” as we walked by and I felt I should stop and chat with her. She then told our translator that she wishes us good health. I felt the Holy Spirit prompting me to ask if I can pray with her. I asked if she feeling any pain and she said she had an injury in her neck and arm which is where she had the jewelry. She shared that the jewelry helped with the pain so I started to pray and as I prayed the Holy Spirit through me prayed that her heart would be healed. I believe God wanted to get to the roots so she could be made whole through Him and not through new age jewelry. She was full of joy when we left!

 I really enjoyed the encounters I had with people. The Lord showed me to persevere, to step out in faith and He will do the REST. The last week in Romania we had three events which was a youth, muslim and women’s event. The events turned out awesome and I know that seeds were planted. I know God will water and grow them! I enjoyed my time in Romania and I will continue to pray for Craiova and Hope Church Ministry.
