Emma is Driving!!!

That's right. Emma not only aced her written test, she also nailed the driving test (on the second time; but the first time was my (chad's) fault because I forgot to tell her to look over her shoulder when changing lanes, and I got the hand signs wrong too; she should have got a real teacher I guess; oh well).

So keep your kids off the streets for a few days, until we leave the country.

A Tribute to our friends

These are the people who have taken us into their homes, spent time with us, let us in their lives and encouraged us during our time here in the states

To all of you, we are in debt

You have helped make our time here easier, and now because of you, we are torn in leaving...our mixed emotions are your fault, and we wont let you forget that

We love you guys

Our Team

Our Team is awesome. We call our team the "Dream Team". I'm referring to the group of individuals in Romania that have chosen to give their lives to Christ and join the family of God, but who also have decided that life in Christ is synonymous with complete surrender to God. They are the leaders of tomorrow. Many of them were just saved 1-2 years ago, and yet they are leading more people to Christ than I ever did or have ever seen for that matter. They are taking it upon themselves to chase old friends and rekindle relationships; they are not ashamed, on the contrary they are so proud to be counted among God's children. You cant stop them, you cant convince them that life in Christ is a hoax; they're already sold on God's love.

All you can do is release them...

That's exactly what we're doing in Romania...releasing leaders...world changers...normal people, who have been captured by God's love and can do nothing else but share it with others...this is our team...The Dream Team

Is it just me or are our friends' kids the cutest ever?

No lines...the Mummy...King Kong...and Crowder

soherewego...This was Emma's first time to Universal Studios Hollywood, and what better setting than the threat of rain (just a threat) giving us virtually no lines to wait in. We joined up with great friends Bogie and Becca and Dave and Amanda Lebda as well as fellow Romanian missionary Allan Taylor
We saw King Kong, the Mummy, Wisteria Lane and Matt Damons parking spot. It was awesome!






areyoureadyformore...What made our day even better though was the David Crowder Band / Third Day concert that evening. Crowder rocked! I loved his "rock opera" "You are my joy". Emma snuck up into the expensive section to get this pic, cause we were chilling in the nose-bleeds; but that didn't affect the sound. Crowder, you're my hero.

God has provided

Thank you for your prayers...
God has answered and provided
us with a van for our ministry.

Cell Church Conference

Myself, Emma, fellow missionary Allan Taylor and his pastor John Holloway recently attended a Cell Church Conference in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It was so great. We learned so many valuable things and gathered so many useful tools for our work in Romania, where we have been functioning as a cell church for about 2 years now.
We are so excited to take the dvds and cds and books that we purchased back and pound through them with Pastor Mihai and the leadership team. We really believe that this conference was vital to our church and were so blessed to have gone.
Below, Pastor Cesar Fajardos pastors at Mision Carismatica Internacional, where over 250,000 members worship God. We were priveleged to hear from pastors like him and others who have seen the cell church proven in their countries, and this gave us so much faith and expectation for what God will do in Romania
