Hi friends! I hope that you are doing well and that you have been leaning into the Lord lately! I sure miss you a whole lot. I’ve been praying for you.
I want to fill you in on some of the amazing things that God has been doing here in Romania over the last two and a half months! Earlier this morning, my squad and I compiled this list of all that God has done through us while we’ve been in Romania, and after reading through it all I was left in awe of the Fathers goodness.
1. 1,000s of seeds planted in Jesus Name
2. 36 relationships with future believers
3. Over 20 missionaries encouraged
4. 100s of kids loved in Jesus Name
5. 100s of Roma citizens reached with the Gospel
6. 100s of Romanian, Bulgarian and Serbian citizens prayed over
7. Over 150 bags of clothes and Bibles given out
8. Started a youth group – Youth Life
9. Planted a church – Ignite (thank you Jesus!!!!!)
10. 106 people received eyeglasses
11. Personal and squad spiritual development!!
12. Womens Ministry
13. Prison Ministry
14. Administrative work for our ministry hosts
15. Minimum of 2 hours of intercession every single day
16. Spiritual gifts discovered!
17. Picking up trash in the community
18. Countless prayer walks
19. 2 women in Serbia gave their lives to Christ
20. “Jesus is Lord” has been declared countless times
Wow. God is so good and faithful. Even when I am tempted to think that my time here has been in vain, He reminds me of the amazing things that He has accomplished. Thank you, Jesus!
A couple of weeks ago during worship we sang the song Multiplied by Need To Breath and God revealed even more of His majesty to me. Here are some of the lyrics:
God of mercy sweet love of mine
I have surrendered to Your design
May this offering stretch across the skies
And these Halleluiahs be multiplied
Here in Romania I have given God my all, and here’s the cool part . . . He has given me His all right back. God does not withhold himself from us. I give Him my heart, and He gives me His heart. How great He is. I have surrendered to His design, and He promises to multiply my halleluiahs. Everything on the list was completed by an act of obedience and then God returned my obedience with more of His goodness. Life with Jesus is so good. We give Him our hearts, He returns our sacrifice to Him and multiplies it by one hundred. How great is our God.
Thank you Jesus for everything that you have done here . . . you are abundantly good, Father.
My prayer for you is that as you continue giving Jesus your heart, or maybe give it to Him for the first time, and that you would be overwhelmed by His response. Would you be overwhelmed with all that He gives back to you.
Our halleluiahs are being multiplied! Thank you, Father!
