Monday Afternoon - 20 Jul 2009

Greetings from Cluj-Napoca where we had very exciting morning! A total of 21 children were present for our first day of Vacation Bible School. We didn't really know what to expect, although we were confident that about 20 children would show up.

Sorina and Anca taught a group of 14 children ages 6-9. An older sister of some of the children and the grandmother of two little boys both helped in taking care of things with the younger age group. Claudiu and Justin taught a total of 7 childern ages 10-14. Costica and I handled logistics, ran errands, and prepared and served lunch.

Overall, it was a REAL BLESSING to be a part of this day. Pleease keep those prayers going up! I've included a few photos from last night's planning session and the first day of classes the morning.
We will begin a three-night series of lessons tonight at 7:00 p.m. We're prayerful that some fo the parents of these children will come back tonight for a period of sutdy.

Thanks for sharing the news and the pictures! We always love to hear about what is going on in Romania. Please give the church in Cluj greetings from us. We still think of those we know there and pray that their church body be blessed!

God bless,

Great News! So glad that VBS is going well. So happy to hear that you have kids again to participate in that!

Jan and I pray that all your efforts will be blessed by God and steps are in progress to re-seed the soil in Cluj.

Our regards to all who have been part of the Cluj church.
