Returning From Romania / Ukraine

[bobinfaith]

Hello brothers and sisters;

I will be traveling with a group of pastors flying to Romania soon. We will serve alongside a Baptist Association of 60 churches. We'll have small group interaction with the pastors and their servants, and discuss a formal partnership between our associations in Romania and the United States.

I'll be preaching 4 separate sermons at two churches each Sunday. Since most don't speak English a translator will assist me during the message.

We will also travel to the border area and distribute clothing, blankets and food. Careful measures are being taken so if our travel safety is compromised then we won't go. We're praying with God's covering we will go.

Attached are 8 photos. The last one is the president and his wife, Pastor Catalin and Paula Croitor.

I'm excited and there will be a lot of work on this short term mission. I'm asking everyone, please keep me in your prayers.

Galatians 2:20, 20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

God bless you all, your families and thank you.

Dear Bob,
This sounds to be a great adventure and a strong statement for our Lord.

I also hope that it is a lot of fun too!

Heavenly Father, whose glory fills the whole of creation and whose presence we find wherever we go, we pray:

Preserve and strengthen our brother Bob and his companions in their travels; surround them with your loving care; protect them from every danger; and bring them in safety to their journey’s destination. Almighty Father, see them safely through their ministry abroad and bring them safely home again.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Remember to have a great time, too! Sometimes we can get so wrapped up in helping others, we forget to have fun in the process.

Thank you, brothers and sisters;

I am thankful for your prayers and uplifting posts. Here are updated photos of food, clothing, blankets and supplies that were delivered. Please join each other and keep praying for these people. The ones who are serving are also witnessing hope in Christ.

God bless you all and your families.

Yes, talking to the Lord for your keeping.
The media doesn't paint a very pretty picture about the border area, but it's far away. I believe being there will be a life changing, eye opening experience. Being a Canadian born in 55 I'm thankful I've never had to go through anything like that.
God bless.

When your out there try and have borscht soup it’s absolutely delicious!

I will be praying Bob for the Lords leading

Hello brothers and sisters at CFS;

Thank you all for your love, support and prayers. Departure is approaching and I'm finishing final preparations for our mission trip to Romania.

I have decided not to take a laptop but will take my cell phone in case I have to make a call back home.

I'm committed to do what God will have me do. Whoever crosses my path, whoever speaks to me, whatever opportunity or task come my way, my prayer is the Lord will send and use me, tell me what to say or do at that time or moment. Most of all, it's helping bring one more person to Christ Jesus.

God bless you all and your families. You're also in my prayers.

Love in Christ.



Bob!

Blessings...

Hello Pastor Gary;

Thank you for conveying Cosia's message.

I'll call Cosia and Via's cells while we're connecting flights in London and see if they pick up or will leave a message/text.

God bless you, Gary.
