I’m now safely in Romania in a tiny city… i mean town… erhh village :/ called Sistarovat, or something like that. I’m still not really sure. The last time i talked we had just finished the shortest month ever in Albania, but i have done a lot since. The main point of this blog is to update you on this time. and a little about what this months ministry looks like. Don’t worry there are more video blogs coming soon 😉
The team left Albania on a very tiny bus but made it through Kosovo, Macedonia, Bulgaria, and, after many hours, finally to Romania. The squad (all 6-7 teams) lived in a tiny hostel in Bucharest. The next 3-4 days we did many really important things.
Like this…
and This…
Then we met with the whole team and learned a lot about “prison” and the different things that often hold us back from truly living as the real us that we want to be… (Sounds a bit like Dr. Phil stuff, but it was really good.) Examples are COMPARISON; comparing ourselves to others, REJECTION; fear of being rejected by others for your thoughts, likes, and ideas, and EXCUSES; we make excuses to help modify the world that makes us uncomfortable. This has led to a number of good conversations in the team.
Next we made our way on this long, overnight train ride to where we are now, met our contact and have begun work. The team is really loving this location and the team time that it allots. We’ve had some really good freedom in our team as well as really good meals and look forward to letting you all see our Thanksgiving day festivities. Keep a look out for the upcoming videos.
