it was a very interesting trip we've never experienced some of the stuff that we experienced ever before which we'll get more in detail later on in the show but first of all i want to say thank you to everyone that's helped us with everything and prayed for us prayed for  safety which is very important was very important on this trip and for all god's blessing that he helped us with everything that we did before we start before i want to get into any details of the trip i wanted to read the scripture that my dad and i picked out before we start this disciples basically rebuked the kids from coming to jesus see a lot of people forget that kids are innocent they are the future of our of anything of this world and they just put them aside  ministries we see the kids as innocent people that need to show love to and to understand there's someone out there that loves them and i thought of that you know that was a very important because jesus says here but jesus said let the little children come to me and do not forbid them for all such is the kingdom of heaven so we need not to forget the killing kids at all and that's our focus with these christmas packages to show their love to these little children because where we go to we go to the little villages tucked away in areas that you can never imagine where they're at a lot of people think of the cities think of the local towns or the cities but they forget about the villages and that's the focus that's where we do we go to the local to the deep deep villages where it's impossible to go many times even by  call or even by i mean you need a horse with a sleigh to go through the snow to get to some of these villages but that's why i want to mention first i want to focus on that that the kids that's what was our focus on this trip to show them the love that when they grow up one day he laid hands on them and departed from there so jesus prayed for them and laid hands in love on them out of his whole heart because he knows that kids are the future of the world and before you is thirty two to describe the three this part of rumania which we people live in that loose even near to the city we were in this time when it's a lot of poverty people even so much poverty their homes are made by mud i mean even the locals call it the third world over a million people i never actually heard people say was us three and then we had two other people from germany that joined us here and then we had two other people from the local areas it was a smaller team than usual but you know it was actually a blast we were very prosperous in what we did we finished packages even faster than before  it was a short trip and successful but what we did first we started off with arriving there to the local room in the local city where we used to go to where we stationed in the little church where we brought today we went to these little chocolates from the flea market we got a good price for these so these are actually ukrainian chocolates we got these when to one of these in each package and in the church in english get it's like a cookie remain in stout cookie were it's either filled with chocolate filling or bonilla tooling we bought these to pull one of these and then we also have a box or reasons that were donated from america from fresno california actually  we appreciate them for helping us out in martin poppy put to these in each package and then lastly we also have chocolate bars that once again the church an english shot helped us purchase these these are pretty big chocolate  chocolates to put in the package and when the kids see this they are shocked because a lot of people came to fortify this to give to their child for christmas so we're we're happy to have the and then our brother george eco is putting together our bags that every year we do we put a label on here with a scripture from isaiah explain the meaning of christmas trees child so they know the message of the meaning of christmas and this is a good way of spreading the word at christmas time teddy bears in each package and so we're going to be putting this in in a package with all the goodies that we have this is something that these kids never receive anything their families don't even have anything to give them for christmas and of course we go to the villages not the cities most which are the villages where nobody actually goes to them we're predicting approximately one thousand we're trying to do these packages for them see this is what we did those are all the items that we put in each package and we were able to give rocks me fifteen hundred out including a local network where we always give some kids probably probably two hundred fifty kids and that exactly in a local church that helped us with that always helps us we're actually in connection with them all the time but that's approximate fifteen hundred packages we made this year it's not necessarily the number that we focus on it's actually were we go to retouch we want to go to areas where nobody goes that nobody even considers going where it's actually impossible to go this year we were hit with a lot of snow a lot of weather conditions and somehow we made it halfway through there and were able to distribute all those packages but you know it was it was not planned that we certain things happened for instance we got stuck in the snow for a little bit for five days and four nights and we got delayed coming back home but we think god for his protection and providing th supplies to stay while we were stranded literally stranded in a little village when we didn't know esol there at all but god help us knew someone then they welcomed us in their home and opened their arms wide open with food in i mean we were eleven people two rooms only which is pretty close quarters especially for us americans growing up here in america we're used to our big homes and you know we all want our little spaces in our house but we think god for allowing us to stay in the local schools on benches sleeping on them but he opened a house for us where we could stay but the villages where we visited where we visited read you he went to the local schools we spoke to them ahead of time  christ and the important things is when we came in those religious and show later on in the video we share with them about christ and what it's all about and not only giving gifts to the kids but also give them hope for the but pretty bundled up think we have a good so here that is providing us enough heat in this building and we'll be able to put this together so we start off with two of these special chocolates from ukraine that we have put to these in the package up and a teddy bear that's how we create these packages of military each and every one of them like this by hand and then we hand this distribute to the kids pretty warm in there where the men which is the pastor of that building over the church of that place he's building a new place and we pray the lord to provide the funds to be able to get the bigger location and we move our organization over there from romania from the south of the romanian to the north of roumania because from next few years we like to touch those area again and that's why we pray the lord to provide the funds to be able to go in the new building but we been very thankful because we have that place thinking this for everything that we did for them actually to come out there was nobody actually never went out there to give out packages and then we went back again but unfortunately the we were blocked in we got blocked in and we were able to leave you know are supposed to donate this food but unfortunately the roads are blocked and it's impossible for us to go in that area to deliver this by hand so we're actually in the one of the elders home here that he's the main guy that travels around these villages over and sugar these are just necessary you know how should i say pantry needs that they need to have to survive if they're trafficking or if they don't have anything so this will make a difference for them than in the winter months especially now when they're trapped in their homes so what our plan is to do is to put all the supplies in the package and then we go and we'll put them by name by how many kids are in each family and after that when the roads clear up a little bit don't come in and the list out was given to us by the locals here by that of one of the elders in the in the church so unfortunately we were not able to go to the the rest of the village the schools that were planned to go to to donate the rest of the kids packages so we have been here to where the elders of the church that you can go and donate them personally to the schools because they're expecting us to come by but there are more the all these dry goods we thought of it had a time saying this is a good pantry need in everyone's home to have was a rope from germany or germany we had two people that came with us from germany we actually drove all the way from germany  put each bag with all how cording to how many kids or having people who are in the family we put all the food in there and we gave the permission to the local elder of the church over there to deliver them once the roads opened up because of weather so bad that the villages were actually snowed in like six feet high at least an area sixty nine people were snowed in literally i mean we didn't believe until we saw with our own eyes when we got stuck in the saw how easy you heart stranded in there so if we are going because we left early in sent them to us to come and take us to make us get out the cars because it was impossible for the plan machines the reason part of the reason we got stuck was the workers first of all was a saudi a lot of what went drinking at the bar followed him half way through between a village in another village and it broke down that's what happened we broke down and then all of a field where was one of the worst conditions possible i mean the windshield was incredible the bathroom you know we were thinking we actually had a bathroom in the house because most of time here is kind of villages you have to use our houses but we are thankful that god you know even though you go why would god allow you to get stuck in the snow we don't know why but purchase some more stuff for romania and also to pay for the gasoline and for our tickets and to see the blessing of god you know we need team and only the lord can put a team together would like to receive our
