We just left camp today, it was an amazing experience. We are at an internet cafe in a little town on the Romania-Hungary border called Targus Mures waiting to board an overnight train to Budapest in about an hour. We have a 11 hour train ride ahead of us and our team while is exhagusted they are also encouraged about all God has done over the past week. The stories are many and we look forward to filling in the details during our three day debreif and stay in Budapest when we have more time. Everyone is healthy and well and looking forward to some sleep on the train. Please pray for a safe and restful evening and for our navigation in Eastern Europe for the first time without a native speaker.
A few hours ago we had an emotional goodbye - but we were equally encouraged by how well our two teams bonded and look forward to what that might mean for our continual partnership with the Craiova church.
Off to catch a train -
Grace and peace,
Lief & JR for the team

Dear friends,
Thank you so much for your dedication for God!!You put aside time for us to come here and spend some time with us,and not only.i really appreciate that.You gave all you had to make this happen.Tears streamed down my face knowing i won't get to see you in a year or maybe more.The encouraging thing is that i can pray for you guys and as Dan said the story did not end,it goes on,with God!!As i came back to my normal life,i still want to live as i would be in the camp,with all that joy in my heart knowing i am God's child and no matter what i'll get to spend the eternity with Him and you guys for ever!!My friends,even if life's hard,it is still worth living for Christ!!
I have had a good time with you and know that i will miss you a lot and i look forward to see you again if possibly and talk to you over the net!!
Malachi i'll miss you a lot and i think you know that!!You're such a great guy!!I will still be thinking of you and pray for you.Take care and peace out!!
Love,Andreea Savu
