MONTENEGRO TEAM

There is a group of young adults from Bucharest, Romania that I have dubbed "The Romanian Invasion". I gave this affection name when nine of them came to our home for an overnight visit. Think about--9 of them slept in our home--anywhere--everywhere--mattresses, couch, floor, bed, chair! It was a riot! They like to eat, too! They like to talk. The like to pray. They ask me to speak to them like I used to do in the Presidental Chapel at the Bible School that I founded in Hungary back in 1994.

You see, this is where I met most of them. They sat under my ministry for two years as students. We connected! Oh, did we connect!! They have so much energy and life . . . what fun!

When I told them that Lynne and I were starting a youth camp in Montenegro they wanted to join us. They are fluent in English and we were doing the camp in English, so, I quickly agreed. They were a big help! It would have been nearly impossible to operate the camp without their help. Skits, Drama, Games, Kids Klub Outreach, practical help and joining in any way that they could to help make the camp possible, they helped to make the camp a success.

Something happened in that camp in 2007! Some of them fell in love with Montenegro and its people, Montengrins. They became burdened about moving there to be missionaries.

Romanians moving to Montenegro to be missionaries! Wow! Can you believe it?

Well, in 2008, most of them returned to help again at Camp Monty. Hook, line and sinker! That did it! Three couples made known their desire to me to join Life Impact For Eternity. Here they are:

Tamas [Csika] Florin and his wife, Ana
Alex and his wife, Anca
Adi and his wife, Nicoletta

Csika [pronounced Chee-kah] is the director. They will help me with Camp Monty in the summer and do follow-up on the campers. They will start Bible Clubs for the youth. They will conduct evangelistic meetings. They will do Sports Outreach. They will become involved in church planting.

Since then, George Stanciu, has joined the team. I wrote about him a few days earlier in another blog post.

Lynne and I are excited about them! The Romanian Invasion is ready to roll. Well, they need their mission support before they can really "roll", but, they can hardly wait to move to Montenegro. Yes!

If you would like to help them please let me know. Email me at ericwmurphy@gmail.com or ericmurphy_life@hotmail.com and I will share more details with you.
