Castle Event Report

Hi Everyone...have lots of pics to get to you.

First I'll give you the link to my album for the Castle. It was at the Castle of Hunedoara and put together by Peace Corp working in that area. There were several organizations participating and this was the very first time they did this event. It served as a fundraiser for the non-profit organizations. Our group from Potter's House had three stations: face-painting, a dart game and a place to get your picture taken as part of the nativity scene (the picture will help explain).

It was also an opportunity to point to Jesus. The leader who was in charge of the photos would ask children to identify people in the nativity scene. He said that the majority did not know anyone; a few pointed out Mary. Some of our group spent time sharing the truth of Jesus' coming as a babe for their salvation.

Overall it was a wonderfully blessed time. You'll see some non-Romanian looking girls in the pictures. They are part of a short term missions team from Australia. The rest of their group were helping with another event the Potter's House was doing on the same weekend which was feeding the homeless and again sharing the truth about Jesus' birth.

Thanks for your prayers - all went well. An added bonus for me was being introduced to another organization in Timosoara serving disadvantaged children. After the holidays, I will set up a meeting with the organization head. I also met a little girl from there who melted my heart. That is another story. Enjoy the pics!
