adventure day in eastern europe meant road trip to greece!!!!
12 hour drive through romania and bulgaria…
walking with aidy.
Thessalonica, Greece. in the same country apostle paul came to tell the message about jesus. starting off here was nothing short of inspiring, breathtaking, and soul food for the 3 months.
“get along among yourselves, each of you doing your own part… reach out for the exhausted, pulling them to their feet. be patient with each person, attentive to indivisual needs.and be careful that when you get on eachother’s nerves you don’t snap at eachother. look for the best in eachother, and always do your best to bring it out.”
1 theesaloniasn 5:13-15 MSG version
thats a verse about community of ive ever heard one.
“the whole point of what we’re urging is simply love- love uncontaminated by self-interest ad counterfeit faith, a life open to God.”
1 timothy 1:5 MSG version
1/7 who i have the priveledge of leading- maddie chase!
my team (Anthem) sharing from psalms before bed. it turned into a 30 minute popcorn session of encouragement and awe of scripture. so fun. I love watching them.
probably one of my fav pics from greece. soft colors & calm seas. pretending it wasnt a tourist boat.
wisdom & laughter-filled kate (squad mentor) laying good words on Kori and I.
bonding with friends over justin bieber. ministry looked like supporting the long-term missionaries here in romania by reaching out to youth.
(i’ve been visiting my team’s ministries and 4-7 pm also includes visiting Roma communities holding VBS, visiting a hospital, and just being a person of hope in the country that is known as the missionary graveyard.)
***I wish to have more pictures of our ministry soon, but have been intentionally leaving my phone behind for the sake of relationship building , trust & presence!**
the sash says it all. big man with the big 1 9! aka dress and act like jacob day.
seeing this man of God from september 2018 to september 2019 has been one of the coolest & most fun priveledges 🙂
reassured and reminded that no matter the circumstance, country, or point in life, nothing can really get better or worse if the living is with God. making most of each moment. “enjoy enjoy enjoy“
