AMAZING TRIP TO MOLDOVA - GOD IS MOVING IN THEIR MIDST!
We had such a wonderful time in Moldova and were so blessed by how many
younger ladies came to the Training Conference! Truly, the Lord is raising up the next generation! Without exception, they were all very excited to have the Romanian version of
Breaking Free: the Journey, the Stories, by Beth Moore.

Our hosts - Petru and Eugenia Podoleanu with our team, Paulette, Bethany, Genoveva and Liviu

We really appreciate the warm and gracious love and care from Petru and Eugenia, as they coordinated the conference and our stay in Chisinau, Moldova. Eugenia is the Baptist Women's Ministry Director for the Union of Christian Evangelical Baptists Churches of Moldova. She overseas Women's ministry in about 400 Baptist churches throughout Moldova. One very busy lady, for sure!

Every one of the prayer requests below was answered in great measure! Thank you so much for your prayers and support!
-
A fresh anointing
A focus on only Him and His heart for these precious Sisters
(Such a sweet time with these awesome Sisters in Christ! The Lord encouraged the ladies with this new Bible study in their own language. It was so great to introduce a song to them in Romanian called "Oceans" by Hillsong United - Great job Bethany Serengheu! Bethany also led one of the small group workshops. Genoveva Schuster did a marvelous job translating the conference for me, leading one of the small group workshops and single-handedly working the Registration desk! Liviu Tudosie, a precious Brother in the Lord, was our fearless and fabulous driver with an awesome sense of humor - kept us laughing all along the way! A bonus for him - he was blessed to be invited to speak at a Men's meeting of about 25 - 30 pastors and community leaders during our women's conference. Such a great opportunity for him, since he is a great preacher and teacher!)
- Border control will not be a problem (We crossed the border each time in less than 30 minutes without any problems!)
- Vehicle safety in the midst of winter weather (All went well!)
- Safety as I fly over and back with all luggage arriving intact and on time (All luggage arrived intact and on time, and as a bonus, I was able to have three seats to myself on both trans Atlantic flights! The Lord graciously protected me as I rode on a late night train on my way back through Romania from Sighisoara to Timisoara. Met up with a demoniac who kept bothering me until the Lord sent the conductors to intervene. Lesson learned. No more travel alone on the trains at night.)
- Safety for the conference attendees as they travel to the capital, Chisinau (All arrived safely in spite of one group's bus breaking down as they traveled from the north part of Moldova. So glad they persevered!)
- Sensitivity to all divine appointments along the way (The Lord gave such sweet surprises and built some unforeseen relationship bridges!)
- All financial needs met (Needs met even when the Euro began to quickly slide, and we had trouble obtaining the local Moldovan currency during a run on the banks!)
Thank you so much for your love, prayers and support!
