Mission Moldova

Hello wonderful followers! I realized that I have not been the best blogger, being that this is my first blog in a few months...8 to be exact. I am very sorry! With being a full time student, working roughly 30 hours a week and not to mention a social life, I find I have very little time to write as much as I would like. To my excitement that is now changing! I just finished up summer classes and will be spending the next month (July2-July29) in Chisinau, Moldova working at a youth english camp. Isn't God good? This trip came up as a surprise and for a long period of time I didn't even consider going. However, I realized that I hadn't even prayed about it and as I began praying God slowly shaped my heart to be open to going. Soon it became the only thing consuming my thoughts and now as I'm packing my belongings my mind is consumed with eagerness to see what God will do and I cannot wait to see what He has planned. My team is just three people from my church in San Antonio, Texas but we are meeting other people there. The camp we are working at is called Speak Out and as far as I know we will be the tutors of certain groups of students for three weeks where we can grow in relationships with them and show them the love of Christ. The camp is a christian camp so we will teach english through the gospel message and through stories of what God has done in our own personal lives.

Going into this I have shocked myself, because I am definitely not the teacher type and I cannot imagine how this is going to work, but when I am weak God is strong and I do not doubt He will come through like He has each and every time. I am reminded of when Peter walks out into the water with his eyes only on Jesus, and without knowing it he is doing the impossible. If I keep my eyes, heart and mind on Jesus He will take care of the rest. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this post, and if you stay connected, I will be updating this blog as often as I can.

I am incredibly grateful for the support I have already received but if you would like to furthermore support me on this journey, I have placed a paypal donation button on this blog that is very user-friendly. The total cost of the trip is 3,500 which covers everything. I will continously post about how much has  been raised. However, the biggest support I need is prayer, and the rest will fall into place.

  1. Please pray that me and my team are open to the Holy Spirit working through us, guiding us and directing us. 
  2. Pray that we become less so God can become more and that we rely on God and His strength and listen when He speaks to us. 
  3. Pray that God prepares the hearts of those who we are going to meet and minister to and that many divine appointments are met. 
  4. Pray that God captures hearts and reveals his glory. 
  5. And pray that above all else, God is glorified, people come to a saving knowledge of Him and His kingdom is expanded.
Thank you so much and I will be in touch soon <3
