Friday

So here we are with 12 days of adventure ahead with our enthusiastic Path of Life team here in Oradea. We have a basic programme planned but also wait to see what surprises the Lord has in store.

Here’s the general plan:

We have three days worth of working with students from Emanuel University. This will be the first half of next week and is our annual teaching programme looking at Biblical principles involved in working with people who have messed up (haven’t we all?) and the grace of God towards us. We’ll be having three mornings of classroom teaching and three afternoons of placements. The students will rotate around the prison, a children’s home and a homeless centre. Sorin Maier and Andy will be providing the teaching.

Then we will also be running three days of training for our mentors and prospective mentors. The first session will be on Saturday (tomorrow) and then at the end of next week. More about this another time.

And then there will be church services - 10 at the last count. Andy will be speaking at these, ably helped by Sorin’s translation!

And lastly there will be meetings with some key individuals - in the prison, business connections, the local MP and other county council officials. 

Not everything will necessarily go according to plan, and already there have been some changes, but we trust the Lord to be with us and help us do what he wants us to do. So please pray for energy, enthusiasm, guidance and direction from the Lord and good team morale.

Until next time.

Goodnight.
