Quick Update from Camp!!!

Friends & Family,

Even though it is just 1am here and we just got a dial-up internet connection for the first time - we wanted to let you know that now 3 days into camp things are going great. The time here has been powerful and challenging. The days are packed, but the work is good and worthy. We have made many good relationships with both the campers and romanian leadership team. I am so proud of our team for the ways they have stepped into leadership roles the first day we got here. They are responsible, loving, and willing to do whatever it takes to make this camp happen and impact the campers lives. Everyone has been healthy and safe. Please continue to pray for God's provisions and for his spirit to move in our hearts and in this camp. As I type my eyes are starting to close - so we will do our best to post a more detailed description of what we've done (hopefully by students) tomorrow afternoon. Sorry we haven't been able to communicate for the past two days - but now that we're here, it makes complete sense - we're far up in the remote and beautiful Transylanian Alps of Romania. What a place to be. We miss you all, and we'll do our best to keep in touch during these last 3 days of camp.

Iubesc Romania!

-Lief & the team

It's fun to hear from you guys again-- but we totally understand you're in the mountains. I can't tell you guys how many times people are asking about how you're doing. People love you and miss you, and tons of people are praying for you!

Everyone here at Fort now knows what time it is in Romania. *Laughs* With that awareness, I can honestly say that more people than just myself are praying for you guys. Your time there is almost over... Dont miss opportunities to talk to people even though you are probably worn out by now. EO TEAM!
