I leave for Romania today!! That is beyond exciting to me! I will be there for six weeks this time and then I am coming back to build more of a support team financially and in prayer. Then I plan on moving there in the summer!
Last night my friend was explaining to me about how when she prays for me she saw a vision of me going and peeking behind a curtain and a huge smile exploding on my face and me running away all giddy! That’s what I feel like this second trip is going to be like.
Here’s a list of all the things I’m excited about from my recent newsletter. 🙂
I want to share with all of you a few of the things I’m excited about for this trip. First I’m excited to be back in Bucharest, knowing that this is where the Lord is calling me and knowing that He has the greatest plans for me, I’m excited to continue to dream with God for what He has planned for the city and Bucharest and see more of the practical ways I will be serving Him in, when I officially move there! I’m really excited about the people I get to live with while there! From what I know, Doina is a woman who has been struggling to find work and pay her bills, I’m really excited that I will get to bless her financially and also I’m excited to love her. She doesn’t know the Lord yet and I’m excited for what God has in store for her while I’m there and in her future. For part of the time I will be living with a friend named Mary who plans on moving to Romania in the future as well, she is coming to visit for three weeks and I’m excited to be able to spend time with her and get to know her. I’m excited to see the whole Stimpson family again and bless them in any way I can while there! Also to serve along side of them in everything they are doing in Romania! I’m super excited to attend Biserica Piatra Vie for my first time; In July The Stimpson’s began meeting as a church and I’m really excited to meet the people who are coming and get the word out to everyone about it! I’m excited to get to know my way around Bucharest and figure things like the subway and the bus system out. As well as figuring out the every day things like getting groceries, doing laundry, etc. it will be more of a taste of life will actually be like. I’m really looking forward to learning more about the culture and the language while I’m there! And last, but of course not least I am excited to reconnect with all of the women I met there in January! 🙂

I’m so excited! I ask that you would be praying with me while I’m there:
– Thank God For who He is and all that He’s done for yourself and me to get me to this place in life.
– Praise Him for finances. He is a faithful provider and He knows just what we need.
– Pray for continued provision and full support for me to move over to Romania as a full time missionary. Right now I’m at $250 per month; my goal is $1000 in committed monthly support.
– Pray for my life to be complete in the fullness of Him so that I can bring Him all of the glory!
– Pray for grace in transition: As I go to Romania for six weeks I will be adjusting to life there and then as I come back pray God gives me wisdom and direction to get me to my next steps on this journey.
– Pray for grace to learn the language as I’m there and grace to understand the culture.
– Pray for Doina as I stay with her that her heart would be softened and that she would put on her identity as a child of God and glorify God with her life.
– Pray for all the women I will be meeting, pray for their hearts to be ready to receive His love.
– Pray for Jake and Jessie and their family of four and one on the way! Also pray for Jake’s brother Ben who is also there as a full time missionary.
– Pray for Mary who is visiting for three weeks while I’m there. She plans on moving to Romania in the summer too.
– Pray for the students on the campuses that we will be ministering at. Pray that God will be softening hearts, convicting souls, and bringing identity to His lost children.
– Pray for the church services to be filled with the manifest presence of God and the Holy Spirit to have His way.
– Pray for all who attend the meetings to encounter God and be transformed by His love and truth.
*Pray as the Spirit leads! 🙂
