The Beginning of Something Beautiful!

The Bluefield College team arrived safely in Bucharest on Friday evening. After  a quick dinner, the team fought through their jet lag and began the prep work for the mural on the hallway.

All day Saturday, the team was busy at working mixing, painting, drawing and enjoying being together. On Saturday evening, the team attended the Providence youth group meeting where they sang and team leader, Walter, gave his testimony. After the meeting, the group spent the next hour or so learning the Romanian way to play UNO. It was a great time of fellowship for all.

Today, the team has been painting. Around noon, two team members (Pip and Emily) went down the street to buy fresh bread for lunch. As they were walking back, a brother from the church stopped to talk to them because he had heard about the painting ministry being done at the Ruth School. He spoke very broken English but knew a lot about the Ruth School and its ministry. An hour later, the brother (Marian) came knocking on the door to help paint. He was quickly put to work painting mountains. After completing his task, he told us that he must go home for the day but will be returning tomorrow at 4pm after work to sacrifice his time to paint for Jesus Christ. Marian's faith and willingness to serve have already been such a blessing for this team.

Here are some pictures of the progress so far...
