Romania Part 2

Hello again,

Sorry that it has been a day or so we have been busy doing work, and today we are getting ready for the new mission team coming in this afternoon!

Yesterday we went to a small romanian village and had a VBS kids club. I was in charge of games and ashley had the craft. Here are some of our pictures from yesterday. The bible story was on King Nebechanezer (sp). Ashley did a noah's ark sticker and picture with the kids... and we played some relay games and other fun games... then we went to the Farm House and set up for the chickens, and looked at the harvest. Then we came back home ate and found out that one of the girls that is here on mission trip was leaving last night rather than saturday so we got her on a bus...

Today we are cleaning and planning out the next week we have lots of stuff ahead of us this nextweek we are excited.













This picture is a picture of Roberta... she is 10 months and she has two other siblings and her mom is a single mother and is trying to provide for her family and is searching for answers and is learning about Jesus and asking questions. Her name is Carmen, so pray that we can continue to disciple her and her children. Roberta stayed the night with us and she is a greatbaby!
The other day we had orphan church (wed. i think) it was lots of fun connecting with the new kids that have been coming and also catching up with the kids that we have known for many 2years. Tomorrow we are going to one of the gypsy villages (caricue) to have vbs and finish some construction on a house there. Also we are delivering food packages to the 14 families in the village that all have sponsors (PRAISE THE LORD)...
Some prayer requests:
-new mission team arriving today
-the time that we spend here, will bring glory to God, and we will see the fruits of our labors
-the gypsy villages, orphans, and the impovershed that we work with
-Salvation for all
Thanks for reading and praying yall! We appreciate it!!!
Kalep and Ashley

Romania Prep!

Hey Yall (Fellow SaLTers, Northbrookers, Friends, and Family)

Ashley and I left wednesday morning the 17 for Atlanta. Ashley has been foing wedding festivities for one of her best friends this weekend and today is the wedding and TOMORROW is the day we leave for Romania.

I have spent time here buying last minute things for romania and i am packing the last minute stuff now and shifting things around for weight purposes.

Ashley and I want to thank everyone who donated the supplies. It is greatly appreciated and we were so blessed to see how everyone gave for our trip. These are by far the best supplies that we have ever brought to Romania. We are extremely excited to bless the Romanian people with these things.

Ashley and I are going to do our best to keep everyone up to date on the happenings in Romania and we are going to take pictures and share them on here. Also we are going to take pictures of the stuff that we were given by some of yall with the people that we give them to.

Thanks again and we look forward to our flight tomorrow because we know monday morning we will be in romania. It has been a year since we have last been there, an extremely long year.

Thanks for your prayers and support, we are extremely humbled by the genorosity of Norhtbrook church, family, and friends. Continue to pray for safe travel and our time there. May GOD recieve all the glory and honor.

God Bless

Isus te iubeste!

Serving Christ in Romania.
