We enjoyed our stay at the Golden Time Hotel in Brasov very much!
The billboard and banner show you what the invitations also looked like.
Pastor Cornel & Mari Moisuc and their sweet girls at church.
The “B Team”
Do you not have homes?! Do you not have enough to do there? I only caught the word casa, but her meaning was quite clear – even without Mari’s translation. Opposition may be loud and is usually intimidating. But then we met elderly Maria and a young soldier ‘Daniel’ while handing out literature in the market near a shop owned by Nicolae – who helped us find a shady place to stand, coached me with a proper greeting in Romanian, and begged Larry Ingalls to send a preacher to his home village outside Brasov. Should we have stayed at home?
While out on mailbox distribution I met a young mom who was eager to (and did!) attend the meeting so that she could receive a new Bible. We also met those who thought the mailboxes were ‘FULL-FULL-FULL’ of pizza coupons and didn’t want our invitations added to them. Should we have stayed at home?
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” It is not just about the numbers, but how long would it have taken Pastor Cornel and Mari to hand out 51,000 invitations or John/Romans? The opposition may be loud, but the kisses, tears, and gratitude of those who welcomed the Word of God is unforgettable – and worth every hour spent traveling or sweating in the unexpected heat. So we would gladly leave our homes again to help sow the seed and to encourage a faithful family like the Moisucs. And we pray God’s Spirit will continue to bless in the harvest of precious souls.
Sunday’s leisure time included a tour of the Castle Bran.
Mr. Harris was always meeting new people and handing out more literature…
I think we could have won the prize for the most water consumed that week.
Love, love, love the flowers in window boxes we saw everywhere!
Early morning flight out of Bucharest on our return trip.
One of Daniel’s favorite memories of Romania…
