Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers (and sisters) to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, coming down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard, coming down upon the edge of his robes. It is like the dew of Hermon coming down upon the mountains of Zion; For there the LORD commanded the blessing--life forever. Psalm 133

Bonding Over Dinner
Last night was the first fundraiser that we held as a team. It was full of great bonding moments from carpooling, to pouring hot spaghetti sauce out of a crock pot and into a chaffing dish. Raising money in order to go on our missions trip to Romania that we are partnering with One Hope for has been our main focus. But what we didn't realize until yesterday is that learning to work together, spending time with each other and learning about each other has been an important benefit of this time.
The music was wonderful. Thanks Ryan! The candles, the supportive friends and family and even several trains rolling by in the background as well as the wonderful spaghetti (Thanks Suzanne and Melissa!) made everything memorable. What a wonderful backdrop of our first time together. I look forward to many more memories with the girls.
The Romania Missions team exists as part of the DestiNations project from Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida. We will be spending one week reaching forgotten gypsy children for Jesus by letting them know that they really aren't forgotten by us or by God. We will be using a biblically based health and wellness program fashioned by one of our capable leaders, Suzanne Savage, M Ed. and we will be the hands and feet of Jesus to a hurting place in the world. Our group leaders are Suzanne Savage and Melissa Maisenbacher.
