Close to tears

Today and yesterday have been very emotional days for me. The reality that the dream I've carried for so many years is so close is just overwhelming me. We were able to open and we unpack the container today and set up house. It is amazing to see the place looking like a home. How blessed we are!

Rodica and Tatiana were there marveling at the beauty of the American furnishings, bedding and dishes. Things were fitting into place and incredibly wonderful.

The Home of Hope is that much closer to being a home!

Last week I also hired a Project Manager. She is an incredible, talented and bright young woman who is a recent university graduate. I can't say enough at how blessed I feel to be working with her. Please pray for Elena as we lead this ministry together.

Sara is a fellow A/G Worker here with us. She came to work with something that fell through before she arrived, but through much prayer and searching she feels like she will also serve with us at the Home of Hope. She will do life education skills training and help on the planning team for the Home.

Thanks for your prayers each step of the way with this. I feel that God has brought each thing together at just His right time.

Now please pray for the ladies who will come into the home. Our target date is October 1 to have everything ready to go. Please pray that God will bring the right women to us to begin the work.

I also ask you to pray for several important meetings we'll have next week in forming partnerships with other NGO's that work with the issues of trafficking in Moldova. Many are not sure of us as evangelicals and we pray that we can build a bridge to them, that they will see that we are safe to work alongside.

We are so blessed.
