Boys Bible Study at Colobita Lake

Exd 14:4

Then I will harden Pharaoh's heart, so that he will pursue them; and I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD." And they did so.

November 21, 2009-
The guys took a trip up to Colobita lake and learned from the Israelites three important lessons.

1. In every situation that God leads us into, He will lead us out.
2. God is with us in every situation.
3. God will always give us a way out when we cannot find a way.
The Lord led the Israelites to the Red Sea for a reason.

Colobita Lake is situated in the mountains about 45 minutes away from Bistrita. Taking along sandwiches for lunch, we headed up to the mountains. The lake was a great illustration of what the Israelites were facing at the Red Sea. Mountains on both sides, a sea in front of them, and the Egyptian army coming from behind them. Humanly speaking there was no escape. But, God being in control, had a plan all along to show who was the Almighty. We can always trust that the Lord will lead us through each situation we face.


















The guys had fun playing near the lake. Running, jumping, practicing hand stands, and exploring was a great way to spend time together.

Just wanted to send a quick update for the month.
The ministry is going well. The budget is very good right now, thanks to many of you who started sponsoring kids, and donating general gifts and funds. Each house now has everything they need for the kids, and the house parents. We are still praying for house parents for the family center in Bistrita. The couple must be Romanian, and strong Christians walking with the Lord. This is difficult in Romania, but we have put the word out to churches, friends, etc. We still have had no word on this or interviews. We need a couple that is truly called from the Lord to fill this position, so please keep praying faithfully for this as we know the Lord will provide. The kids in this house have been separated for the time, between our family and the other missionary family. Sebi is adjusting well in our family, and has actually although hard at times been a blessing as well. It has been neat to see him grow just the last few months, and to be able to share the Lord with him on a daily basis.

The kids in the Unirea family center are all doing well. The house parents are wonderful to them, the girls are helping the parents with their garden on the weekends, and one of the older girls has been able to start translating for me with the little kids Sunday school class. It is a wonderful experience to see each and every one of them growing. Alexandra the oldest of the kids also was able to come and help me get a vegetable garden going at our own house as well. It was a great day to spend with her, although we were quite dirty, hot and sweaty.

We finished up our girls Bible study in Proverbs 31, and will be having a girls pajama party at our house the last Friday in May to kick off the summer.

Personally we are doing great. We have been working hard on learning the language better, although it still seems to be coming along slow at times. Chris is really good at it, and Levi has finally started speaking Romanian. Levi will be graduating from the kindergarten first week of June, and will start first grade at the Sports School in the fall. Chloe will still be in the small group at the kindergarten for one more year. Mihai is growing so fast and is doing really well, although he eats way more than any of the other kids:) This month we were able to add to our butter, learning how to make yogurt, thanks to the help of Mom (Anderson).

Some things that we need prayer for are that we are still trying to save up enough to furnish our house. We are getting a little furniture at a time as we save. Also we will be doing some traveling in the month of June. Chris will be leaving June 7th for a trip to Austria for a meeting with the pastor from Boise. Then June 22nd we will be traveling to Hungary for the missionary leadership conference. Please pray for safe travels during this time. Chris will be starting a Wednesday night Bible study at the church with all the family center kids, and will be starting a Bible study once a month just for the boys in July. Please pray for all the family center kids as they are finishing up schools, and have exams etc. Please pray for them as well during the summer, as some will be able to visit some family members, or go on little vacations, for safety and the Lord's protection over them. Thank you again for all that you do in the Lord and for being a part of His ministry along side us.

During the Easter break we took a trip to
Hunedoara, Romania. We visited the castle there.
We were able to walk through the castle seeing
how people lived.


The kids enjoyed playing outside the castle
among the ruins.





The kids also enjoyed the playground.

After visiting our friends in Hunedoara we returned to Bistrita

for a wonderful Easter service Sunday morning.

New Beginnings is still in need of house parents

for the one family center. Sebi is fitting into our family

well. He went to Hunedoara with us and had a wonderful

time.

Unirea family center is doing great, they are all looking

forward to the summer and no school. The parents are

doing great and are planning on taking their vacation in

July and then are planning on taking the rest of it in September.

The Targoviste Family Center is doing well. The kids are

taking some spanish classes to learn spanish. I visited with

them and they all were practicing the spanish they knew with

me. It was a joy to see them and hear them speak spanish, romanian,

and a few words of English.

My dell laptop is needs to be replaced soon. I fear that it will not

last too much longer. I would like to purchase a macbook pro along

with a minimac (for you pc'ers out there, a minimac is a mini desktop,

and a macbookpro is a laptop). :-) The minimac would be for the house,

or more accurately, faith. The macbookpro would be for me (and faith) to

use. I would love to switch to mac.

We also are praying about a larger vehicle. The ministry vehicle is no

longer fitting our needs. We have six people now and the ministry

vehicle only has five seatbelts.

I, Chris, will be travelling to Austria in the beginning of June. And a week

later we will be travelling to Hungary for the leadership conference. Please be

in prayer for our travells.

We made it!! We arrived in Bistrita, Romania at midnight, Tuesday. Thank you all for your prayers as we traveled. Levi, Chloe and Mihai did awesome. They were very well behaved on the flight and in the airports.

Since our apartment had been locked up for three months we have some mold on the walls to clean, and air out the apartment. The weather was about 44 degrees so we were able to open the windows without freezing too much.

All of our luggage arrived with us, so that was a blessing, we just have to unpack it now.
Thank you again for all your prayers and for all you did for us while we were in the states.
Blessings to you all.
