This past weekend, our team went up north to a cabin for a retreat. Everyone had a great time!
One of the primary goals was to get to know each other. We had significant talks around a campfire. We played in the lake and took boat rides. We played Catch Phrase (trying to give clues in reference to Harry Potter), Mafia, and other games. We cried together and laughed together. We ate yummy food together. We did a work project to raise funds.

Another primary goal was to prepare for the trip. We had some cross-cultural training about short-term trips. We watched a 20/20 special about orphans in Romania and how international adoptions were put on hold ten years ago due to corrupt organizations. We broke into our planning/prep teams. We went over our itinerary, camp schedule, and packing list.
Everyone is super excited to head to Romania in a month!
Our big prayer request right now is for our finances. We still need more than $10,000 in the next few weeks. We are trusting God and figuring out ways to creatively fundraise. Thank you for your prayer support! Feel free to leave some comments of encouragement.
