Hey Friends and Family!
We are currently in Pitesti, Romania working with Living Hope Church.
We absolutely LOVE it here, and we have built great relationships with our hosts, and with the people we are ministering to!
In our first week in Romania, we got to help host a summer youth camp for at risk kids and young teenagers here in Pitesti.
The kids we took and worked with come from the poorest areas in Pitesti, and some of these kids are at risk of being involved in human trafficking or becoming homeless due to their difficult home lives.
It was life giving to be able to show these kids positive love and affection, to see them laugh, smile, and freely be the children that they are!
Here is a fun video to give you a glimpse of our time in the mountains with them!
The song is a Romanian version of the song “The Is Living!” By Hillsong!
PRAYER REQUESTS:
1. Pray for our team and our hosts and everyone leading the camp this week. Pray for wisdom, patience, guidance, and ENERGY to keep up with these kiddos! Lol.
2. Pray for the kids that we will be working with. We don’t just want them to come and have fun, but we want them to experience life change!
3. Pray for us and our squad as we prepare to head to Africa in only a few weeks! Pray for our hearts, minds, and bodies to be prepared for the culture shock!
As always, thank you all for the support, love, and encouragement.
-Justin and Tessie.
