Eleven Years in Romania!

It's hard for me to believe, but as of today I have been in Romania now for eleven years. It has been quite an adventure to say the least. I thank God for the privilege of being able to serve Him here in Romania and for those that have encouraged and supported me, especially my church, Calvary Chapel Boise.

I still remember the day I arrived here when Liviu, Vero and Ene picked me up at the airport here in Bucuresti and then taking my first train trip ever up to Petrosani to start my life in Romania. People would ask me how long I planned on staying and I would say, "until God tells me to go." Well, that still holds true today.

When I first came I would have never guessed what God had in store for me. I came over to work with baby orphans but ended up planting a church and starting a School of Ministry later on. It has been a very humbling experience but God has been gracious with me. I know my life is far, far richer for having come here.

What comes next? God only knows, and that is good enough for me.
