Corina and I - recording a radio interview this morning in Oradea, Romania

We are finishing up our two-week stay in Romania. The kids have finally adjusted to the time difference (just in time for us to head back home!). Our stay has been delightful. It has been a joy to spend time with friends and family. I have thoroughly enjoyed ministering again in Romania.

Yesterday, I was honored to administer Communion in the village church that I served in before I was ordained as a pastor. We had lunch with the family whose home I stayed in during my weekends in the village back in 2000-02. As we sat around the table and told stories, it seemed to me and Corina that we had never left. Great friends don’t have to catch up. They pick right back up where they left off.

Today, Corina and I recorded a radio interview for a national Christian radio station. We answered many questions about life and ministry in the United States, how our marriage works (since we are from two different cultures/nationalities, etc.), and how Christians are responding to the financial crisis in the United States. I recorded a different radio interview last week. Hopefully, the audio for these two programs will soon be available on this website for any Romanian listeners who might be interested in the contents.

Please pray for us as we pack things up and prepare to say goodbye. We have had a wonderful visit, but we do look forward to going home and continuing the ministry God has given us there.

Be on the look-out for more pictures from our trip. I have posted some to Facebook, but will post some more on the blog next week. Thanks again for your prayers!
