In northern Romania



Yesterday we started the Call2Worship here in Romania. Tirgu Mures is a good-sized town in the northern region of Romania called Transylvania. (yes, we found out that Count Vlad or Dracula was born not too far from here - however, he's a local hero from the wars with the Turks... all the stories about him were made up!)
We have about 20 students, all but 2 are Romanian. They're all young and eager to learn and grow. The YWAM staff has been great and they are real pioneers and servants. This is the first YWAM activity of their new base and they wanted it this way - to start with a worship course.
So, we are laying foundations, setting the tone, preparing for years of ministry ahead with this small but significant work.
The teaching staff (Richard, Didi, Rodney and I) are staying together in a church guest house and we have great unity. These guys really bless me. They've all paid their own way to come to Romania and now paying to stay in these guest rooms... generous givers and investors in youth.
More later... gotta get up and get going!
Blessings, Belinda
