Tuesday Medical Work, Bible Schools, and Agape Runs

Elisa has a wonderful story to tell about the work in the medical clinic today.



Hey guys,
Greetings from Romania. We have a wonderful trip so far. For the past two days we have been in the village of Stei conducting medical clinics while some of the other group held VBS for the children. I was so blessed by the patients we have met in the past two days. I met a woman today that explained to me that she had no one in the world. She continued to explain that she had lost her one and only daughter and that she had been widowed several years before that. As she was explaining her circumstances to me tears welled up in her eyes, which began to make me cry as well. After I had finished my assessment, I asked if I could pray for her. She said please. As I began to pray we both began to cry. God really reminded me of how fortunate I am and it also broke my heart to know that I would not be able to stay here in Romania to take care of her. I spoke with the pastor about her and he wanted to meet with her. As a result of my prayer time with her she explained to the pastor that she wanted to be a part of their fellowship and she asked if churches like this one we were in, could be started in her home village. I was so in awe of how God moved today in that situation.
As we were getting ready to leave I was blessed with a very special gift. Earlier in the day I had admired one of the older ladies traditional skirt and one of the church members over heard me. She went home and got her skirt like that from when she was a little girl and gave it to me. She explained to me that the skirt had been in her family since before world war II and that it had been passed down from mother to daughter since then. Since she had no daughters she wanted me to have the skirt. I was truly to be given such a sentimental blessing.
God is working here so much. He has already taught me to much and I have seen His hand in everything here. Please continue to pray for the efforts here. God Bless, Elisa
