Afternoons in Zone 6, Evenings in Zone 9









Top photo: Lunch at a Greek Restaurant, Olympus a,cross from Troy's pad started our afternoon off, before going to zone 6. The security guard there approached us and began to speak to us in English. It ended up he is a repenter (attends the Baptist church there) from Timisoara, working here in Galati...his parents live in Seattle, WA.

After dinner we were on the streets in zone 9...approx. 12 in number, divided into 4 teams. Several started studies in John, while others continued the study or Shared Jesus Without Fear to those we encountered. Bogdon, Zach and me, spoke to several of the young people and set up football tonight at 6:30 pm on the junior high school's asphalt soccer field (10:30 am your time). But the best was yet to come for us...Troy was gone from 12 pm on transporting kids to a camp near Buzau. So we were pretty much with the nationals all day. We arrived back at the training center, the nationals left except (little) Mihi. We started tossing a football around and within 30 minutes, there were approximately 35-40 kids and young people around the area. We had the opportunity to get acquainted with them and share Jesus with some of the older ones. So after 9 pm we told them we needed to go, but would be back again. Please continue for the work in zone 6 and 9, that we will be receptive to those God sends us to.

But Troy said it didn't count because it wasn't in zone 9. Ha! He's tough. However Whitney and Carmen found 2 in zone 6 and I think someone else found another one. Of course Troy found a Priest and talked with him. He gave the translator 2 handtowels for some reason. It's some kind of tradition. The translator is going to attend Bible studies with the priest and ask some "special" questions. Should be interesting.
