claudia militaria once again i'm back on the set with my father john and brandy our friend you probably recognize brainy from many of the songs that we've played here before years and years and we came back from our trip from romania  our christmas trip that we take every year and we had the opportunity to go with my brother emmanuel which he will never come on camera he said and my friend brandy and of course my father we had a very exciting trip it was a very fast trip and we're here to just give you some more details of what happened welcome you guys think yeah you guys are excited sure talking about this absolutely it was a very fun trip was it for you brandy it was action packed very good special for the first time we go in romania you have so much about them you see so many things that twenty years i've been hearing about romania so finally it was my first time with the ministry to go there and to see meet the people  see the sights of where you go and actually to see firsthand to see firsthand how the military ministries operates over there and also to see the villages of the children and the project that's taking place there so  dad left first you left first that right i went to germany first we he went first in your other team over there in germany and then brandi and my brother emmanuel and myself we left the we can after that and  really started from the first day we got there and stopped until we came here we didn't have one moment actually to even sit down and sleep in or do any of that stuff and it's pretty interesting because we went from every two nights we switch beds and that's kind of unheard of when you go on to different trips to concerts which beds it was kind of interesting to do that for me in locations and different meals and different people and this is a good learning experience for all of us you know you always need some  verses fourteen i believe which one is it's here if we go romans ten verse fourteen how then shall they call on him and whom they have not believed and how should they believe in him if whom they have not heard and how shall they hear without a preacher and how sh preach unless they are sent as it is written how beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace who bring glad tidings of things and that's the main focus here at john the time ministries is to respect the gospel and you know i am not an evangelist i  of i'd like to put things together and show to express myself in different ways my dad on the and he's an evangelist he goes and preaches the gospel everywhere and for me i've always had the joy of putting together packages or food or just show someone that someone cares and they're not rejected so this first bases everything on our our goal here is our military histories and goes further more about spring the joy spring the love spreading that someone actually cares for the forgotten ones is that correct at yona special flight exactly because if we didn't we would have been delayed two other two more days but somehow we got there on time you know on thursday evening we met our other we actually had another brother in christ that wanted to help us for the first actually i met of the first time you met him before  emmanuel and also for them or the first time in their first time so we got all got together we built a nice assembly line among ourselves and we started from putting in putting our packages again and we start with the cups bright red meat we are trying here you have a loose wire i go to put it in the will you see pictures as we're talking here we started with a little cups that we brought from romania and then we had went over to put in all the goodies from germany like we had some special cookies chocolate like teddy bears all year round and we sent him from america to romania and then in the very end words that card you have that card we need a special post card where we put a bible verse on there and then on the back of it we said this is someone died here and then then we create all these packages are all day long and then the following day we die in our cars and went to the village and actually we pray because we was afraid for the snow you have coming and because those are all that were there they never clean them  importance that when we work together we have unity worked well we were productive and then we were and got things done exactly and then we went for three three days i believe three days we  hundred kids that's actually the highest amount of children that we reached out physically by hand by hand they hand out a little package to them so that was something incredible fantasies and thirteen villages in three days what we did we went the packages we went in with our team my brother you know from clue she plays recording he's actually a choir director and our friend brandy or cigs so we came in there were christmas carols and he was sitting in the romanian and lot of the kids actually knew the songs because they're taught in school those songs and then they were actually impressed also to hear britney sing in english is that her voice was incredible and she was able to show them her gift that the lord gave her and did you enjoy that part singing to them yes it was you kind of don't know if they understand you but then you guys have told me hey you know they do they they do here american so they end and you know i sing a couple christmas songs that they hadn't heard before for the very impressed by your voice i mean the plotting her it was it was pretty pretty neat to see that in when you go in like that and it's off or you have it's sometimes it's more powerful when the lord muse in that capacity with the see with their own voice saying i'm going to listen to my parents i'm going to listen to my teacher i want to bless my my parents i want to bless my teacher bless my school and i want to receive christ as my personal savior in my life and i accept him to give me that joy in that piece in actually that e mail which receiver from that teacher which she was so moved because of the presence of peace where she fell while we explain about the message of christ and also we lead them in prayer exactly we have our schedule is we are a lot of our programs all of our remaining programs air and in europe in general and of course the remaining number one all from a good network and we put our schedule on there and we put our e mail in our toll free number and she e mailed an e mail to us explaining how impressed she was with what we gave them she says she was very impressed and it was an incredible gesture for us to come in and last year we receive the same packages and they were the were so so excited to actually meet us for the first time and they said such joy brought to the kids and it was impossible to the even for her to afford or do something something similar to what we did this year because they're on a very fixed budget very low budget for a school and for a teacher her salary i mean the i mean they can even do art their own needs how can they actually reach out and do it for their own students and something like this was something that really came in their area and lot of people for having forgotten them and  want to think us and she also want to explain what my dad was saying that was there was some of the influences power when he spoke and prayed over them the kids were just impressed by it they felt such peace and love that they were comforted comforted  and they want to think us very much for what we brought them in this was literally the next day after we went to their school i mean that was impressive wasn't ready to actually see so one think you the next day it was it was just you could tell when you came there and after when we were leaving even when we were there just the reception that they how they received us and the move how the holy spirit movement in different ways on these people and like you said how it changed went to this last school we went to a kindergarten actually preschool kindergarten we had we spend extra time with them and we said we handed them out scars and the knees and the parents were there and they were just like they don't know what to say they were in awe of what was happening that somebody actually wanted to take their time and sit there with their kids and hand out stuff like we could give to everybody because we have about two hundred and they were mainly made for the little little ones and also we gave to defend really which we give them was a price the put some pasta sugar flour and oil and besides the pantry items we also had a couple sisters in america that the lower part of their heart to crochet some scarves and some hats for them some beanies and then brandy would you do well we package them in the bags were labeled with the name and number of family members so that we could go accordingly so each family got however many they needed so each one we have labeled and organized so that we make sure they get what they need to have it's pretty cold right now i mean there's no snow on the ground this in a little bit but it's very cold and the holidays are coming and so they're going to need food exactly this is perfect for them because you know they have rice rice and pasta oil and and sugar i mean that stuff is and flour obviously is very important items for them for us americans that's nothing that's like what is that percy great thing but to them it's like gold in their hand and not only the gospel of what we're bringing in the lives of the literally these families have sixteen fifteen fourteen twelve people in this these families is unheard of yet and i was and then we had all the bags set up with all of the you know the oil all of those supplies so not e tiny room like two bedroom or three bedroom house with fifteen kids think about it and some of the bedrooms are even finish people in this in the winter they have very hard winter and it's hard for them to survive  many times i was asking how they survived special romania that's why the romanian people they call the third world country country and the romania because when you go to c b or clues to me sure or i was born to people they don't even that member the last to revisit her the year before i'm sorry and then finally we went back again it is the same widow remember where we went in with the go in the in the house well and you said they said last year and i saw a picture she did have the other use of some of the house but this year it was just that one side i believe amazing amazing condition and she's still there and it's i mean it's it's just very grateful but you see the needs of the people so well a lot of people say why do you the time off from work and my brother night and we go and we sacrifice a week to two weeks off and do all this why do we do this because you know a lot of from my experience growing up in the missionary family in the ministry ten you hear these stories about all these people giving these packages out but the i seen it they give it out to the big cities the big churches and somehow some of these packages don't make it all the way to the villages to the to the ones  or toured shortly afterwards and my thing as since i was small i have always said i want to do i actually want to make sure that package that we put together knowing how many supporters have helped us i want to the responsibility of actually go in and outsider i mean i've known you for twenty years but coming from romania john and know firsthand what people need know the spiritual needs of the people you know the  the country other parts of the world that's different story of course we'll do it will be him but at this time he has called us to to go help the remaining people and i'm glad that we have opportunity get to go to remain in this christmas and and share the joy of the birth of partner because they have been so faithful to this ministry over the years because we cannot do it all so to give to eighteen hundred kids package for christmas but the most important things is that the package is the message of christ  spread because when we saw a message in the some young you know young children like that we saw results over the year i remember years ago i receive a message in the facebook of the minister when a young man sent me a message said you don't remember me i was eleven years or twelve years old i forgot that she he said there are in that age i was in that place and then he gave me give me the place where he was and how i heard the gospel i repeat the sin there prayer i you know what are always doing because i was just a child playing with others but that seed which actually you saw in my heart make me to think about when i was i me times you think is this really worth it but when you see emails like this after that the day after or fifteen twenty years later you're getting a message like this saying that you do remember and then you have to continue believing and having fa that you're still in the sea to someone's heart and they will never forget even in their darkest times they'll remember it and i'm happy that we would do that once again the only thing the same when i'm just i'm grateful for the sponsors and like you said the partners people that jackets and so it was a blessing to put that request anything in the month within a month and then even the last two weeks the day before up to the day i left to come here to fly god you know that it provided and the people you see that do the thing you're willing yeah you're willing you had your you had in your heart to do this and if it's god's will which you believed it was but you were willing to do it yes and i sent out letters and i said well it's you know me they're going to go or not people responded they are moved you know by i believe the spirit of the lord and people that i hardly even knew there were a few of my clients that love on a day these two this couple put together the collect teddy bears and they're always calling us john come over here and pick up some more teddy bears and we want to thank them for their efforts for the last several years putting that together your cousin from fresno that reason factory correct she's the last three champion reasons the last three or four years she's been able to donate to us reasons which we think are very much for that and her company and of course the church in english  know if you need anything right to be part of another missions trip or part of a project that we're putting together and then of course all the supporters out there that donated financially and in all the prayers number one are they see because this year there were grannies working in our schedules are very tight and we have to make it happen in and they give everyone for all your prayers and you're in the safety you know that the lord protected us the whole way there and all the way back in and and but i miss anybody else and they they were incredible because the picked up some picked us up with their cars less borrow the car because we did not have a car there and he just drove us around and brought us back to our destination in and then
