Romania Prayer Letter - 5.27.2007

Hello everyone! I wanted to thank each one of you who through the years has been praying for me as I have gone to Romania on missions trips. You know that I have such a special place in my heart for that country and the people there. Well after much prayer, I finally went and spoke to our Missions pastor (Pastor Phil) at church this morning about moving to Romania full time. It was sort of funny to me, he began speaking to me as though, this was of course what I am supposed to do. He didn't act surprised, he didn't question anything, he just said here's what you do...I am so excited! I told Pastor Phil I would like to be able to move out there at the end of the year and he suggested that I start sending out an email once a month to people to make you all aware of this, and to ask that you begin praying for me as well. Prayer is such a vital part of being a missionary and it is so important to have other people praying for me! Please pray that the Lord will open the doors for me to move out there, that He will provide for me, and that He would go before me and prepare the way.

It looks as of right now I would be moving to Bucharest, Romania to work with ROCK Ministries. That is one of the places I went to this past March. The Lord has also given me a desire to work with the elderly although I have no clue what all that entails as of yet.

I don't have much else to say right now. I will fill you in monthly as new things develop. Please keep me in your prayers! Thank you again!

"Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying,
' Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?'
Then I said, 'Here am I. Send me!' "
~ Isaiah 6:8

with love,
rachel
