We set out today scrambling around trying to make sure that we have everything ready to get on that plane this afternoon headed for Romania. We also set out today thanking God for all of our blessings, and for allowing us to walk along side Him to show others the love of Christ, and bring others to know Him.
We started out as a team of six and did several group fund raisers. Unfortunately, four of those team members cannot travel this time due to medical and/or surgical problems in their families. We pray for speedy recoveries for each and every one of them. This left only two of us, but we know that God has a plan and we are excited to be part of it! At the last minute, a third team member jumped on board.
We will be staying with, and working with Rachel Ross of Forget Me Not Ministries, at the Isaiah Center in the village of Tinca, Romania with the Roma (Gypsies). We are celebrating Christmas and have new clothes and gifts donated by many of our family and friends. We will be helping Rachel at the Isaiah Center loving on those sweet kids, and helping with different projects. We also plan to spend time with the older teens at Caminul Felix, a Christian orphanage, to do something fun and have bible study with breakout sessions to love them and encourage them.
We ask for your prayers for our health and safe travels, as well as for our families who will be here at home. We ask for your prayers for Rachel Ross in her ministry, and for the work that is being done in Romania. We pray that God will use us to bring His love, and hope, to everyone He puts in our path.
Please follow us along our journey and be part of our team as we will make entries daily with lots of pictures during our stay in Romania.
Because of Him,
Kim Chappelle, Missy Chappelle and Lois Wadsworth

Hey Lois and Kim...I've been thinking and praying for you this morning. God will bless your work and the gypsy families that you will minister to. He will be with you every step of this journey. His arms will hold you close and His angels will surround you with protection. I pray for travel mercies for you while going, while you are there and returning home. Send those daily blogs & pictures coming!! Give Rachel & Iza a big hug for me. Tell them we will be seeing them there in 17 days...I can hardly wait!! Tell Paul & Dana hello and give my Octa a BIG HUG for me. I feel your excitement as I think about you and pray for you. As always, you will receive many blessings along the way and hopefully you will feel the many prayers being said for you every day. Kim and Lois...I love you.
Stay safe.

Can't wait to read your blog every day. Have a safe trip. Wish I were with you. Give Rachel and Iza special hugs and kisses from Grandma and Pa-Pa Gulley. Tell the Isaiah Center children that the bumblebee lady sends her love and tell Tim and Rodika Hello also. Sara Anne
