Was a Great Blessing


Hello All,

Well the 07 trip is now over, with many blessing to tell. Without Jill (Sweetheart) by side, I knew the trip was going to be different. We had an extremly hot week in Galati. The temp was in the upper "C " but me being very old, I only understand "F" and didn't really know how hot is was untill I read the US newspaper in the airport on the way home..

Thanks to All for all your pryaers...We really felt them and knew God was with us all along...

Simi was able to join me as a "side kick"and by weeks-end became a real pro...

Being a season "pro" going over seas on Missions trip I was kinda expecting to bring people to acceptance of Christ similar to last year...But God had some other plans....Good thing E3 has great organizers like Linda Sims who wrote up a nice booklet with devotionals in them...Monday's devotional set the tone for the week:
Luke 10:20
"Jesus Christ is saying here."don't rejoice in your successfull service for ME. but rejoice becasue of your right relationship with ME."..the trap you may fall into in Christian work is to rejoice in successful service rejoicing in the fact that God has used you.. yet you will never be able to measure fully what God will do through you if you have a right-standing relationship with jesus Christ..If You keep your relationship right with Him, then regardless of your circumstances or whoever you encounter each day, He will continue to pour "rivers of living water" through you ( John 7:38)
This trip was not like last year, and was remeinded whom I was serving
Talk to you soon,
