And so it Ends...Tour

And so, tour continued...We had safe trips, made great memories, and watched the Spirit of God move on the hearts of people!  Since my last post we went evangelizing, did another Micro Kids, ministered in a home for girls rescued from sex trafficking, and ministered in three more services!  Let me just say this, "SLAVA DOMNULUI!!! (Glory to God)
The body of Christ is a powerful thing!  Our XMC family and us (MCR) had seamlessly become one moving entity this tour and have been reaching out to Romania.  From old folk's home, to the streets of Targoviste, God has been moving!
In evangelism, new relationships were made with people who did not know Christ.  At Micro Kids many made confessions of Christ as their savior.  Healing was brought to the heats at the girl's home, as our Master's girls taught them the value they have in Christ!  The sad thing is that I could probably spend one post on each of these testimonies, and don't have the time to go into each of these.  The one thing I would like to focus on, however, are the different churches we ministered in.
Why?
Well, our ministry in other churches is our means of recruitment for MCR (Master's Commission Romania).  If this year ends and no body joins next year, then our ministries stop too.  That means no Micro Kids, no ministry in the girl's home, old folks home, evangelism, etc.  And, if more people catch a hold of the vision God has given us, then we can also do more.  More people in MCR means that we can do multiple Micro Kids sights, can do more with the girl's home, etc.  It also means that more young people find that deep inescapable passion for Christ.
At every church we stopped at, young people were hungry for God, and many excepted Christ as their savior.  The elderly in their chairs wept as they heard unfiltered truth: They had given up their lives for Christ, and now God was calling this new generation to do the same.  Young people who were once satisfied to sit in their chairs and do nothing, now came up to us and wanted to be a part of something more!  I want to highlight the last church we stopped at...a Romanian mega church.
It was the biggest church we stopped at of about 300 people.  This was an incredible blessing!  Even more so, considering that the church its self was made up of predominantly young people from 18-25, and most of them out of college and looking for what they should do next.  Because of the economy it's hard for many of these kids to find solid jobs, being so young, and so they have little they're doing.  These young people we're incredibly perceptive and their enthusiasm was overwhelming!
Usually, when we think missionary work, we don't immediately associate promotionals as God's work...but if my ministry only stretches to the tip of my hand, then there is much darkness in our world.  However, if our ministry can reproduce ministry in others, then more of the world is changed...The seeds we plant overtake the garden, and so here we are sowing.  "Nimic Fara Dumnezeu!"  ("Nothing without God!" our tour motto.)
