Insights from Emma

Being in ministry is amazing! I always wanted to be in full-time
ministry, and now being able to do it, I fell very blessed. The
calling that God has for my life is to lead worship; to grow every
day in this area and to help others to learn how to worship God
better and better.

I love being with Chad in ministry. The dynamic is interesting
though; he is 7000 miles away from home and he came here with a love
for missions. I grew up here and I love my home church. God has put
it on my heart to serve at this church, in my country.

Thank you so much for believing in us and for praying for us because
our heart is totally here and we love what we do!

Worship Team

What a Team!



Below, our worship team had gathered for a night of "hanging out" and celebrating the past year. From left (back row) Dan the drummer (who missed that night and thus was craftily imposed), Laura, Emma, Ramona and Lidia (the singers), and then in front from left, Adrian, Iosif (also singers), Chad (guitar), Alin (guitar), Nicu (guitar), and Victor (bass).

Over the past year we have really seen God's hand over our team as we grew in unity and the ability to flow together in worship. Emma and I have been asked to take over the worship department until Allan Taylor returns, at which point Emma will continue to lead on stage in rotation and I will play guitar until we leave.

Emma's heart is 100% for worship leading and seeing worship leaders prepared and released. For this reason we are planning on coming back to the states for a short period of time in order to prepare more. Our church is growing rapidly and will need a skilled person to run the Music and Worship Dept. Emma is to be that person. She plans on attending a private worship leader school for one year beginning in the fall of 2006. We wish to return to Romania in the summer of 2007 indefinately. We are in search of a good school in which to enroll Emma in. Please let us know if you have any recommendations.
