Saturday: We are at home in Satu Mare

This morning, we packed up our stuff.   Gyula's brother, Imre and family also packed up their stuff.  We all headed left Brasov this morning.   Gyula and Marta were our very first contacts in Romania.   I still remember receiving a call from Bonnie when she was staying with the Borzasi family for the first time in August 1999.   She said, "I have found someone that I believe Teleios Ministry is suppose to partner with."   I first met Gyula and Marta in May 2000 at his mother's funeral in Ipp, Romania (also met his brother, Irme, at that time).   We stayed in their home a few days later. 

Bonnie and I enjoyed being with them again.  Marta rode with us to Targu Mures to see her youngest son, Peter.   Margaret Robinson also sent some boxes for use in Gypsy (Roma) ministry in a nearby village to Peter.   Bonnie and I had not Peter since he was married to Krista last July.  

From Targu Mures, we headed northwest to meet Paul Crook.   Someone had left their suit (Dress clothes in Reghin).  Paul had taken Leesburg Community Church mission partners to the Cluj airport to return home after a week of youth camp.    After a brief visit with Paul we head to Cluj on our way to Satu Mare.   We arrived in Satu Mare at 7 PM tonight.  

Elizabeth and Blanka Vekas were waiting on us.   We were glad to be back in the Vekas home and to be in Satu Mare.   The Vekas home was were I spent my first night in Romania thirteen years ago.   It has been a home away from home ever since.   Tomorrow morning, we will join Barna Kovacs and travel to Acas Roma Baptist Church, Acas, Romania.   Sunday afternoon, Bonnie and I will be in Satu Mare Hungarian Baptist Church.   We promise to get some pictures for all of you who have worshipped with the Acas and Satu Mare churches over the years.    Barna and Judith Kovacs will lead a team from Satu Mare to provide a camp for 35 children from Acas and Tiream churches.   They leave Sunday for camp.   Bonnie, Elizabeth, and I will be with them on Tuesday.   Teleios Ministry is one of the sponsors of the camp.   For the children from Tiream this will be their first time at a camp.   Please remember the camp in your prayers.   Thank you for your support of the camp through your prayers and financial support.
