Time is approaching fast for this summer trip. We are so excited that we have a good-sized team going with us! We have faithful team members who are returning, who have been with us in the past, several times, as well as new team members. As usual, we customize our team based on the spiritual gifts given to each team member so that everyone can serve based on their spiritual strengths as there is much to do in a variety of ways. So this is once again our GO Team!
We always look for a support team back at home to PRAY and GIVE! It is a helping hand endeavor to our missionaries and their ministries, and everyone is important in their contribution. If your spiritual gift is to give or to encourage or to pray, you are needed!
EVANGELISM is our focus on everything we do! People need the Lord! Young and old, there are so many people who only have a form of religion but no relationship with the Lord, and most don’t know much about the Word of God and the Gospel, but a whole lot of traditions that are taking the place of the truth and grace of God and many misconceptions about what a true believer or Christian is. There is much work to be done.
We are looking forward to meeting with all the PIEI national missionaries, helping in several outreach projects, among which is an optometry outreach ministry. People receive free eye exam and prescription glasses, but also they get to be counselled for salvation, hear the gospel, and have someone to pray for them in each location where the Eye Clinic will be offered.
Home visits are always a highlight of our teams trips. Romanian people are very hospitable, so especially visits in rural areas helps our missionaries in their outreach and follow up efforts. There will also be worship, children, youth, and women ministry as well as other projects that our missionaries will make available to us as the team gets ready.
The team will be going to Romania in July and some team members will be traveling to Ukraine for the PIEI Camp, visiting the fields where our national missionaries serve, and mostly encouraging our national PIEI missionaries there who have been so burdened by the lengthy war.
We need your support!
We are still in need of funds for the Camp which is so much more expensive than in the past. We were on the brink of cancelling but decided against it. It is such a worthy event that affects all the missionaries’ work with such a high rate of responses to the Gospel and new young believers for the kingdom. Please consider scholarships of $100 per child. We can support up to 150.
Please pray for safety in travel, as the team will be crossing the border from Romania into Ukraine, and crossing the Carpathian Mountains and back.
Please pray for ministry funds to be raised in time as the prices have gone up considerably. We trust that the Lord will provide so that more brothers and sisters in the Lord will help with donations, it would unburden and enable those willing to go.
