Hello,
Did you know that tennis is the second most popular sport (by registered sportsmen) in Romania? I didn't until I looked it up just now. Did you also know that Romania is the 9th largest country in Europe by area and 7th largest by population? Me neither.

"Why are you telling me random things about Romania?" I hear you ask. Well, I'm telling you these things about Romania because I'm going there!

In January of next year, I'm going to hop on a plane and fly to Romania. Youth With A Mission (YWAM) hosts a Discipleship Training School (DTS) in the city of Cluj.

"What is a DTS?" To answer that question, I will defer you to their website: http://www.ywamcluj.ro/dts.php

"DTS is an exciting time of discovering and drawing near to God. It is structured to provide Christians with the opportunity to take five months away from the pressures and responsibilities of life to focus entirely on Jesus."
"Through in-depth teaching and training, DTS emphasizes the development of a strong Christian character, not just the accumulation of knowledge. Students will learn to follow the example of Jesus in every area of their lives by focusing on intimate relationship with God, application of Biblical truth and bringing God's love to the world."
"After the twelve weeks of training, you will complete your DTS requirements by putting what you have learned into practice on the mission field. Your 8 week mission trip to another country, will include intercession, ministering, serving, teaching, witnessing, proclaiming the gospel and anything else that might be possible to share the love of Jesus."
"After the mission-trip we will have one final week back in Cluj for debriefing and finally graduation. Outreach locations and prices vary and that information will presented in the beginning of your DTS."

Doesn't that sound awesome?? For those of you keeping track at home, 12 weeks of training, plus 8 weeks of missions, equals 5 months away from California! The training is all going to be in Romania, and the mission trip is either going to be in India, or Thailand.

I am writing not only to let you know my plans, but to ask for your support either through prayers or through your support with a gift of money. The schooling is very expensive. I have earned most of it myself but I have about $1000 left to earn or collect through family and friends support. If you are able to contribute, you may send it to my parents.

Please know that through your support, you will be contributing to God's work being done for others that are very far from God and in countries that do not have a bounty of information regarding God and His plan for them to live with Him forever. I want to thank you in advance for any ways that you can support me and the work I feel God has called me out to do. Thank you for all your love and care. The Lord bless you and keep you.
