Breakfast meeting at 8:00am at Hotel Dacia.  At 9:00am we walked over to Grace Christian School for VBS with two classes of 3yr olds, totaling approximately 24 children.  We used pretty much the same format as on Wednesday and that worked well; however, we omitted the story and verses on Adam and Eve to accomodate their short attention spans.  We allowed the children to have "free play" for the last 40 minutes of the morning and went to the dining hall at 12:00pm.

We headed over to the placement centers around 1:50pm.  Both teams reported that the young people seemed to open up and were sharing in a way they never have before.  This will allow us to meet them at the point of their need.  At PC 3/4 Haley attended art class with some of the young people and I attended choir rehearsal with nineteen children and four teens.  The choir director is from Betel Church in Timisoara.  Several of the teens expressed that they would be interested in doing a Bible study with me over the next 4.5 weeks.  We had to leave at 4:15pm today in order to make the commute to our Village Church.

We attended evening servies at a small village church in Costieu.  We sang four songs (Mighty to Save, We Fall Down, I'm Trading My Sorrows and Here I Am to Worship) and each of us shared by way of words of encouragementand  or personal testimony.  Dorian preached on Rev. 3:16-21, supported by Eph. 5:1-10.  The service was well attended and the building was nearly at capacity.  There were nearly 60 people there including: evangelical believers, non-believers, children, those from other denominations and even some other villages.

16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am going to vomit  you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, 'I'm rich; I have become wealthy, and need nothing,' and you don't know that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked, 18 I advise you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire so that you may be rich, and white clothes so that you may be dressed and your shameful nakedness not be exposed, and ointment to spread on your eyes so that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. So be committed and repent. 20 Listen! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and have dinner with him, and he with Me. 21 The victor: I will give him the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I also won the victory and sat down with My Father on His throne.
