Romania Funds

Hello Prayer Team,

I would like to make a financial need known. On e3 trips the budget is set to include two staff to lead and organize the trip, and normally I fit into this category. For my Galati, Romania trip I am the third staff member and because of higher priced tickets and because the team is not big enough to cover the costs of three staff I will need to raise my cost. The costs for my second trip to Resita, Romania in essence will be covered by this money as well.

Please pray about how the Lord might want you to partner with me for these back-to-back trips to Romania. The cost I am trying to raise is $1800. I do have some money saved up in my support account that I can put towards this but wanted to give each of you the opportunity to help get me to Romania to share God's good news. Thank you for praying and following the Lord's direction!

If the Lord leads you to give to this opportunity, you can give online or by mail. To give by mail, write a check made out to e3 Partners Ministry with a note saying it is for Chris Truax send this to e3 Partners Ministry, 600 Development Dr Suite 120, Plano, TX 75074. To give online (by credit card), go to https://www.gmf.org/donation/donate.asp, near the bottom click 'I'd like to give to an e3 staff member' another box will appear asking for my name and amount you are giving. Giving either way is tax deductible and you will receive a receipt in the mail.

If the Lord is leading you to pray for these trips, please start praying now for preparations, open hearts, team unity, and that all of us will reflect God's Glory in everything we do!

SIDE NOTE: I love it when people leave me comments on my blog. Although, I would like to reply to some comments, but have no clue who you are because you are using a screen name I am unfamiliar with. It is probably best just to reply to my emails with comments but if you leave a comment on my blog please sign it with at least your first name. THANKS!

Agape,

Back from Colorado

Hello,

Thanks for your prayers for my church retreat to Estes Park, CO! I had a great time ministering to 11 Kindergarteners, and leading worship for K-5th grade. I also enjoyed my free time in the mountains.

The kids ministry was great! I enjoy leading worship for kids because they really get into it. The drama, games, and bible studies were fun with the Kindergartners. They were (for the most part) well behaved and attentive. On our last day I made sure to give a clear gospel presentation (I brought an evangecube to help me) and two kids Alex and Dawson said they wanted to pray to receive Christ. And there was much rejoicing (in heaven and on earth)!

Seth, Alex, and Hays

Worship Band the "Realities"

The whole week we were teaching the kids to keep it R.E.A.L. for Christ. The R - redeemed, E - eternal, A - abilities, and L - legacy were the talking points of each day. I hope that each of you realize that Christ has redeemed you (even though you did not deserve it), He has an eternal destination for you, He has given you abilities to serve Him, and He desires that you will leave a legacy that points others to Him.

Thanks again for your prayers! In 20 days I will be leaving for Romania! More to come on that.

Agape,

Chris
