Mission work involves a lot of day to day activities that are not ministry, per se, but are crucial to one’s life and to your family, especially if you are married and have children.
And as much as you want to have a peaceful life, for everything to go as planned, there are things that you cannot control, but affect your life and ministry.
What exactly am I talking about, you may ask, well, after a normal day from picking the children from school we are involved in a car accident.
It wasn’t my fault, but the whole situation brought anger in my life especially because people in this region have such a big mouth even if it’s their fault and also because I was with the kids in the car.
So these past weeks I ve been trying to find a way to fix the car, but besides this I’m thankful that nothing happened with us or the kids and I managed to find a decent car repair service.
I know it doesn’t sound spiritual, but I believe that even things like this can disturb you from the ministry and take away your peace in the Lord.
I was glad that I could be involved in mobilizing a group of young adults from different countries, that visited Craiova, to join the American team at church for a time of interaction, relationship and discussions. Unfortunately I could not attend the event.
As for some final thoughts, please pray for our youth group as we started a new series called Alpha Course in which we explore some of the questions of life and the christian faith, based on short movie clips.
We want this to be a tool in bringing them closer to a biblical understanding of life and what God is calling them to be in this world.
It’s not easy but we want to be faithful and available to all of them so when the time comes we can point to concrete truths that they learned and lead them to Jesus.
Yours in Christ,
Adrian and Dana
