Eating Brains and being Busted by the Police

Greetings from Timisoara! We've been busy the last two days going all over the place telling of God's incredible love!

Sunday we split into smaller teams that visited multiple small churches around Timisoara and up to 1hr away. Sunday evening the majority of the team went to Golotha Baptist where Mike Goforth preached, and a smaller group went with Tim Williams to an communitywide outreach outside the city.

Monday we visited two mission programs that help abused or pregnant women. There was a time in Romania where 80% of all pregnancies ended in abortion. It only cost $6 to have an abortion (and $1500 to have a baby). We brought donated clothes and baby blankets as well as money that some American churches have saved up for them over the past year.

The East Memorial Team took one of our translators - Ramona to dinner at a nicer restauant where David Hicks ate cowbrain and brussel sprouts. While not his favorite, David said it reminded him of Salmon. John Jordan took a bite too and said it tasted like potted meat.

After lunch the East Memorial Team handed out tracts at the Centre in Timisoara and after about 1/2 an hour and a few brief conversations with locals and a number of tracts handed out - the cops put a stop to us. They were polite, so were we. But both policemen were invited to the outreach tonight at Golgotha. We pray they will come. Perhaps the very thing they put a stop to will be the Gospel they themselves will preach later.
