Gearing Up For Galati

Tonight, Team 1 had their first meeting at where else...McDonald's. Yes, we will be visiting the golden arches half a world away when we are in Galati, Romania. How appropriate to meet here for our first meeting.


Team Goal: To lift up the Name of Jesus Christ (Job 42:1)

Team Mission: To point the lost toward the cross (Luke 9:23)



Team Members: (L to R) Lanny, Whitney, Steven, Tracy, Caleb, and better late than never, Alex.

(above left) Photo of Whitney and Andrew signing theirs and each team member's commitment sheet. We have committed six things to God and to each other: (1) acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord of my life each day; (2) have a daily quiet time; (3) love and encourage each team member; (4) share my faith with others; (5) become a discipler of others as God gives opportunity; (6) pray daily for team members by name. Each member also received short daily scripture reading and and audio CD for their quiet time.

We acknowledge God for what he has done in our lives and for what he is going to do in our lives. We are embarking on a trip in a few short weeks that will allow us to develop a deeper more meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ. I am truly humbled that God would allow me to return to Romania again and witness to the people, of the free gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ.

Team 1, next meeting 5/30/05 at Maxicare Office (Jeff & Nancy Mile's office), 811 South Walnut at 8 p.m....any members from team 2 and 3 welcome to come and join us for devotion and prayer in the conference room.

You're ruining your image you know. You are beginning to look awfully GOLD! Seriously, as we know the mission trip does not start when you get to your destination. It begins with all the prayer and preparation before you think about taking off.

How far you have come since that first trip. Nancy

Lanny, Whitney, Steven, Tracy, Caleb, and Alex:

You are in my thoughts and prayers daily. How awesome for each of you to be so willing to serve God as He has called you. I can't wait to hear daily of the victories for Him you will share. God has big plans for your team, and thank God you are all listening and following Him in this mission. I know from experience with Lanny and Whitney, you will never be the same again.
