The Mission
I’m so glad you’ve taken the time to learn more about this exciting Romanian medical mission opportunity I’m joining this summer!
In mid-June, I’ll be leaving for Romania with a short-term medical mission team from my church. We’ll be sharing the gospel through medical missions, teaching Bible lessons and serving in local churches in Crișana, Romania.
This mission opportunity has particularly interested me since I love Europe and have an aptitude toward European cultures. Experiencing a country with such a rich history first-hand among its citizens will be something I’ll always remember.
While I’ll be part of a team that will be serving others in various capacities, I’m certain that the Lord will teach me more about Him and how to identify with other people and will bless me while I do my best to be a blessing to others.
I hope you’ll continue to visit this site in the coming weeks as I’ll be updating it while “on the field” (as missionaries say) and that you will pray for me, the rest of the team and the folks we’ll be ministering to in Romania that we’ll all be blessed with safety of travel and seeing the Lord work in a wonderful way in all of our lives. If you feel led to support me financially, please scroll to the bottom of the page to learn how you can help in that way.
Blessings,

Each member of the team must raise enough funds to cover flight and accommodation costs while on the mission. I would greatly appreciate your support in reaching the people of Romania--any amount will help! During the mission, I will report through this blog about my activities while on the field so those supporting me through prayers and donations may see first-hand how their support is making a difference to the people of Romania.
