Sacele Mission: Friends and Lamb, Teams and Buckets

The newest member of the Sacele Mission team, Lajos Fekete (Elisabeth Kis’s brother and Adel Toth’s twin brother) picked me up from the Bucharest Otopeni airport and we headed for Sacele.   The trip was much faster than in the past due to better roads. 

On Thursday, Otto, Elisabeth, Lajos, and I visited the newly acquired property that will be home to the Sacele Mission.    The mountains surround the area and are a beautiful site from the property.   I am thinking how beautiful this will be when the mountains are covered in snow.  There is a lot of work to be done.   The previous owner will continue to live on the property as a part of the agreement. 

Renovations have already started with the fence.   A small garden has been planted.   Right now, they are trying to assess and organized where everything will go on the property.  

A Mission Center will be developed that will house the Hope Group (people with disabilities), children’s ministry, couples ministry, a multi-purpose worship and activities area.  Currently, a local architect is working on the drawings.   Eventually, the front of the property will be renovated to include space for businesses in order to generate income for the wide variety of ministries. 

Then, I had lunch with the Borzasi Family (Gyula and Marta, David, Kinga, and Mate) and Margaret Robinson, Mission to Europe.   As always, we had Marta’s unbelievably delicious roasted lamb.   Since first coming to be with the Borzasi family in 2000, we had feat time together.  

On Friday morning at 6:00 am we began a team building seminar (Friday morning and Friday evening.)  Ten young me from the Brasov, Sacele, and Pucresti churches participated.    After the morning session they went to work and then returned for an evening session.   We had a great time together as we focused on the basics of building a great Mission team.  The group had two “practical” team building experiences with paper airplanes and water buckets.
