Wow! What a great day. We arrived at Betel this morning at 10:00 for Bible Study. We met with the young families group that Steve and Kristi attend. It was a great study on the Anti-Christ. A topic that Joy and Mike have been recently studying in the states. After Bible Study we went to Church Service. As we entered the church, we noticed a man in a wheelchair. We found out that he was the FIRST person to use the ramp that Highlands helped to finance. After church we had lunch and met with Ligia, a social worker in the area of Special Needs. She is a Christian and would like to get the churches more involved. She gave us good insight on what it is like to live with a disability in Romania. After our meeting we broke into two groups. Joy, Mike and Kelsey went to a village church service and baptism with Steve and Kristi. They had an amazing experience. Doug, Missy, Matt and Katonna went back to Betel. Matt, Missy and Doug were invited to give a testimony about the Special Needs Ministry at Highlands. The man in the wheelchair from the morning service also gave his testimony (and used the ramp again!). It was very powerful. After service, we got to meet him and get our picture taken. We were than approached by a woman who thanked us for the ramp and told us how she had wished for a ramp when her aging mother was too weak to walk. As we were talking, Pastor Alex approached us and told us she hosted a radio show on Christian radio. He then asked her if we could come on her program and talk about our seminar and disability ministry. She said she may have tomorrow night open! Say a prayer for us...what a huge blessing that would be!
Like I said, it was a great day....full of "coincidences" Ha!! :-)
