Okay, this is the September version of the blog I send out every month letting you know what we’ll be doing the following month. Here’s what I know…
We’re flying out of Johannesburg, South Africa on September 3, in the evening. We’ll make our way overnight to Istanbul, Turkey, where we’ll have a two hour layover. From there, we’re flying to somewhere in Romania. I assume Bucharest, the capital, but I don’t know for sure. We may spend a few hours or a few days there before heading somewhere else in Romania to start our ministry. At the time of writing, we have no idea where we will be or what we will be doing. It sounds like some teams will be camping out, and it also sounds like the weather is going to be very nice!
So, this lack of information is really nothing new for us, and not having any expectations going into a country leaves only room for excitement when we discover that we have something we didn’t think we’d have…like a kitchen or a shower. On the World Race, those things are not necessities, only bonuses. We’re not even sure about having internet, so I’ll write again when I can.
Pray for us as we head into Europe. We’re in our last three months of ministry, and I know for many people this is the beginning of the end. It’s important, however, that we focus only on God until it literally is the end. This is tough for everyone, because we all have a reason to return home! I believe with all my heart though that it’s in these months that God will do even more than He has in previous months, as well as prepare us for what’s to come. God, give us the strength to keep going and keep our minds on the task at hand!
