When I read that a church plant in Romania had experienced a burst water pipe in the building hosting their church, I asked a Romanian family in our church if we could take a quick trip and encourage them. Our church has gifted this ministry the funding to replace all the damaged areas.
It was during this trip that I asked David to go with us. He gave his testimony and was struck with the joy of being used by God to share the story of forgiveness and joy in Christ. We are now addressing his desire to consider entering pastoral ministry.
This is one reason we invest in short missions trips.
