– TONY BLACK
Today was an amazing first full day in Moldova. We started out visiting a Bethany Baptist Church that had a biligual service of Russian and Romanian. It was beautiful. Then we headed out to camp, which was a spectacular 3 hour drive filled with beautiful sunflower fields. Do you ever have that moment you truly know God is present and you are exactly where you are supposed to be? That happend on our road trip today. God opened the door for me to share why he brought me to Moldova. He is working on a very special lady to potentially become an adoptive or foster parent for special needs children. He perfectly ordained this moment and it was sweet to see him working. Anything else that happens this week will just be a cherry on top. I am celebrating tonight as God is preparing another YES to take place. Praying for all those here today as seeds are planted and stories begin to unfold. For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, planst to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
