Happy New Year from Romania!A little over a year ago, we heard God’s call on our lives and believed He wascalling us to Romania. Well we’ve been here a month already and we couldn’thave picked or planned a place anymore fitting for us than here. Thank youJesus (Koszonom Jezus)! We are settled into our home and feeling verywelcomed and a part of the village of Szentkiraly.

Vern has been able to spend some days at Camp Falcon Rock and is excited tobe part of the development of this camp. Gloria was able to spend a day atcamp helping Tunde (the camp Administrator) clean to get ready for a rental. Itfeels good to be in camp ministry again. It was also neat for Gloria to get tohelp out with Christmas events for the kids and teens like the English classChristmas party, the Christmas pageant costumes and the kids Christmasevent day in the village.
Christmas is a very important part of church life here. There are two churchservices per day from the 24th27th. The youth and young adults spend timesinging carols in this village and neighbouring villages as a way to reach out tothose who do not know Christ. We were invited into many homes to sharemeals over the holidays and added a few more words to our Hungarianvocabulary. We are truly blessed to be part of this warm, caring village.
The coming months look busy as construction at the camp ramps up. We willalso help prepare for mission teams arriving from North American who will behelping with construction at the camp and the summer programs. There will bea mission team here every month from February through July!
We have two prayers requests: 1. Our visas – they need to be in our hands by the end of February2. Learning the language
Thank you for being part of our journey to Romania.
