This month was wonderful because we got to see many different areas of Romania and learned a lot about the Hungarian culture. It’s funny because in Ukraine they spoke Russian and in Romania they spoke Hungarian. In Transilvania where we spent most of our time, the population is 75% Hungarian and 25% Romaian. Funny story, I was talking to my family on skype and I was telling them about this tidbit of information and I said only 25% of the people are Romanian and 75% are Hungry people. LOL I momentarily forgot that they were called Hungarians.
Our main ministry was touring with a chrisitan band. We handed out flyers almost daily, talking with people on the streets and in parks, adverstising for the concerts.(We also had a few of our own mini concerts like I blogged about earlier.) I was surprised everytime to see how many people came to us for prayer after the concert. It is so beneficial to the people and it makes me wonder if we ever did something like that in our home towns, if they would have the same reaction as the people of Romania.
I will be honest in saying that I struggled with having a bad attitude for part of the month, but although the ministry got monotonous and tiring, I know it was all worth it because of how many lives were touched. We had so many great opportunities to talk all kinds of people about their beliefs and got many chances to pray with them.
A few spiritual things had happened during the month that scared me because they are unfamiliar to me. I know they aren’t wrong because it’s all in the bible, but they confused and surprised me and I didn’t know what to do with that. Unfortunately, because of them I began to fall farther and farther away from relationship with God as the month went on.
I want everything that God can give me and I don’t want to be scared of things that are of God. Instead of drawing closer to God in this time I foolishly let it push me away so that I didn’t have to think about it or try and figure it out. Fear has been let back into my life and I’m having a hard time letting God in again.
I’m unbelievably excited for ministry this month! I know that it’s gonna be awesome cause it’s the kind of ministry I love doing and it’s comfortable and familiar, but I don’t want me to be okay with doing things on my own this month instead of letting God take charge. I want God to be the fire in my heart and I want it to be God’s love that I’m pouring out on others, because without Him, everything is meaningless and futile.
