My team and I were 3. In the journey was a staff whose involvement in the camp was in the worship team. We have to travel through Sighisoara which is considered to be the most admirable and well preserved inhabited citadel in Europe, with a reliable old-fashion architecture.
We missed the maxi-taxi to Sighisoara so, we had to wait for 45 minutes for the next maxi-taxi.
We had many attractive luggage which we arranged in a good way in-front of us at the station were we stood. while we were waiting, Five guys with three ladies walked to the station. Two was smoking and they came in front of us with a terrible look on their faces.
They looked at us and the luggage. I looked strait into their eyes without any fear. One of my team member was afraid because he is a Romania and he knows what the guys was up to so, he was really scared and pull some bags so close to himself.
I noticed they were up to something but I was not really sure of what exactly was they were up to but was challenged by their attitude.
I was ready in to face the challenge "but not to fight." I encourage the team not to be scared or fearful but to be bold and gather courage because nothing was going to happen.
After some minutes, they went to stand in another place and everyone at the bus station held their bags close. I got to know their mission. Glory to God the maxi-taxi arrived few minutes later.
We used a strategy to pack our luggage inside the bus. one person stood with the luggage outside. One stood at the back of the maxi-taxi where we kept them and the rest packed everything not living one any behind.
After we had entered the maxi-taxi, I looked outside to the guys then I said to myself "MISSION NOT ACCOMPLISHED" and we all laughed.
Wow, that is a lot of bags! You guys were lucky. I hope the luck continues to follow you!
ReplyDeleteWell there Moses, nice to meet you. Thank you for being my birthday follower! I have known many people who have served with YWAM- a great organization. My niece is adopted from Romania and I have a friend, a violinist, from there, so blessed be the ties that bind, my friend. Do you have a favorite Christian author?
ReplyDeleteWe have friends in Timisoara, they are with Greater Europe Mission.
ReplyDeleteAlso familiar with YWAM in Africa. We spent a year in Uganda, East Africa, and they have a very nice training camp in Jinja. Some of our children went there. Rukundo was an orphan who had been raised at Kasana Children's Center. After YWAM training he returned to Kasana as a "father" to one of the family groups and to work in the community.
Romania must be so very different from your life in Nigeria or even Ghana. Thank you for allowing God to move you and use you as He sees fit. Walking with Jesus is certainly an adventure, isn't it?! You never know quite where you might end up next :-) Now we are in Argentina.
