Prayer List

This trip wouldn't be possible without God's provision through the prayers and support of His people. I really appreciate all of my partners who made this possible. Now, I need your help with prayer. Here's some ideas to pray about:

• Personal Health - during preparations on the way to Romania, once I'm there, and on the return.
• Right Attitude - towards other Americans, CTL staff, and other's I will encounter
• Strength and Discernment - Against spiritual attacks of the devil
• Wisdom - with every interaction
• Guidance - direction from the Holy Spirit on a daily basis
  
• Open Hearts - of the children and the orphanage staff
• Encouragement - the ability to encourage and build relationships with the CTL staff
• Provision - for the children
• Spiritual Understanding and Growth - for the children

Thank you for your prayers! They will determine the success of my trip! Thank you!

1 Day left!

Today I went to church, had lunch with friends, Good Neighbor Church prayed for me, finished packing, talked to a friend, and tied up loose ends. I'll be taking the airport bus at 11am down to LAX tomorrow (Monday June 4th, 2007). My flight with Lufthansa will depart at 4:15 on a direct flight to Munich, Germany. This flight will be

11 Hours and 20 minutes Long!!!

So with the help of some light reading, cramped seats, and hopefully lots of sleep, I will arrive in Munich Tuesday at 12:35pm. Then a 2 hour flight to Bucharest, Romania, where I will be met by the wonderful faces of the Children to Love Staff.

So tonight, I will go to house church and then probably clean the ol' bachelor-pad.

TWO DAYS LEFT UNTIL DEPARTURE!

Wow! I can't believe I'll be leaving for Romania in two days! I've been busy shopping, packing, and saying goodbye to friends. I'll also be leaving my dog Charlie with some friends for the summer. I'm going to miss that guy.


OH! Also-- great news! I've been praying and contacting the manager of Guitar Center about donating a guitar that I could leave in Romania. He wasn't able to donate-- however, I got a great deal on a Yamaha guitar and a ton of gear with it. So, I'll take that, use it in Romania and then leave it for the staff/kids to use. I couldn't have done this without Guitar Center and everyone's support. Thank you!
