The clock is winding down quickly as I continue to prepare for ministry in Romania. I will be leaving next Sunday afternoon (Oct 5th) I would appreciate your prayers this week as I finish up preparation. The logistics of this trip are much greater then any I have dealt with before. Also, I have heard from the lady that I was to be traveling with, and she has officially decided not to go. So, I will be traveling by myself. I will not be meeting an American team in Romania. I will simply to work alongside a missionary couple, and a group of Romanians, in a village of about 600 people, in very rural northern Romania. Your prayers are needed and are very much appreciated. For a list of specific prayer request pleas visit http://journeytowardeternity.blogspot.com/2008/09/prayer-request-for-romania.html Thank you again for your prayers! I look forward to sharing my experience with you upon my return home.

In Christ,

Smiley, I have been and will continue to pray for you and your trip.  I’ll also go to your blog so that I will know how to be praying more specifically for you.

Dear Friends,

Thank you for your many prayers and the overwhelming support that you offered me as I returned to Romania. You made a huge difference in my life, and made a noted impact on the Romanian people. I arrived home safely Saturday morning (after getting lost in the Vienna airport). Please contuse to pray for me as I readjust back to life here at home.

Jetlag has been quite hard on me and I still dealing with a significant amount of physical pain related to my Cerebral Palsy. In fact, they asked me to stay an extra week, but due to pain levels I was unable to do so.

There are many amazing stories to be told. I have over six hundred pictures to sift through. I look forward to sharing many of these stories and pictures with you in the days ahead.

I have a couple of presentations to prepare for one scheduled for October 30, and another on November 9th.

For those of you who are unable to attend, if you would like a written copy of my presentation and a photo CD please let me know, and I will send you a copy

I would appreciate your prayers as I prepare these presentations. I have never done this myself before. Please pray for me also as I seek God’s direction on returning to Romania in partnership with this ministry for an extended period of time in the coming months

May God bless you all for your faithfulness to His work in Romania. I am honored to have partnered with you.

For His Kingdom and His Glory,
