This has been an amazing and awesome week. I recalled on Friday morning before we got on the bus to our work site, John asked how I felt so far. I told him honestly that I needed to return home first and have a couple of days to grapple with this experience. I really wasn’t sure whether I am prepared to work with teens.
But after the Saturday cabin time, I realized the Lord intended for me to embark on this journey. The journey has been one that led to obedience, servitude, humility and love.
There have been many memorable moments, both good and bad ones. But those that really struck me were the prayers for the girls on Saturday night, when I hugged Kirsten and Alexis as they watched their new beaus returned home, and at the airport in Romania when Nicole asked whether I would go back to Club as she thought I would make a good leader.
Since our return from Romania, I have decided to join Club and work with the teens and one of the best news is that Kirsten has decided to accept Christ!
The Lord is truly awesome. He has shown me that as long as I rely on His strength and not my own, He will lead and guide me to fulfill His purpose. Hallelujah!!

For a "newbie" (my term for those baptised as an adult) your record has been impressive so far! Keep up with the good work!
Praise our Lord! And so happy for you, Oli! Oh it's such sweet and moving experience. You are so right - as long as we are willing to obey and submit to God, we'll then find unexpected great gifts from Him!
Praise our Lord. May He continue to lead you and bless you, with your work at Habitat and also the next generation!
