Day 3
Today was eye opening, amazing, and depressing all at one time. We did street ministry today. I did street ministry last time I was here, but that was at night. This was during the day, and it was a totallly different experience.
Street minstry, to those of you that dont know, is a team 11 people went out to the abandoned buildings and areas that the homeless people lived. We brought them sandwiches and medicine.
The first building we went to had at least 4 families in it. We got to see where they lived. One of the families came to the church service I gave my testimony at. It was mom and dad and a 3 year old girl named Alexandra, and an 8 year old boy named ari. One of the parents had a job, but it was low paying job. They were putting ari through pre school so he could have a future. He had TB for 2 months, and is now on the mend. Catalin brought them medicine. When we were in their home, they were honored to have us there. Even though they didn't have much, they wanted to do things for us. they also apologized for a mess they had or if the place didn't look very nice. The father of this familiy accepted Christ on the Thursday we were there, and he remembered me from my testimony. As he was holding his daughter, he looked at me and said, "this is my princess." He even said it in English. The reason why this meant so much to me is that I said that o was my dad's princess. It was so powerful.
We did go to three other sites. But I will tell you more about the other places when we get back. I need to go to sleep now, so talk to you later!
Va iubesc pe toti!

Alli,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this story. It brings me to tears. Yes you are blessed to be your father's princess daughter and your heavenly Father's precious princess daughter. Many daughters in this world do not know this, as their fathers do not ever show or tell them. Thank God we have a heavenly Father who loves us and will never let us down.
Keep the updates coming. I am keeping you and your team in prayer.
