Budapest and the Danube River

















The team was able to spend a day in beautiful Budapest. One of the highlights was a stroll along the Danube River.

Beautiful Gypsy Children

















The emptiness of sin is portrayed in this drama. The inability of drugs and drug abuse to satisfy the soul's deep need is portrayed here.


















The T.I.M.E. team sits on a hill overlooking a valley inhabited by Gypsy souls in need of Jesus Christ. Pray for the lost souls of Romania!

What a blessing! About 80 souls received Christ as a result of the T.I.M.E. ministry's evangelistic dramas! These "wordless" dramas are great for the mission field because no one has to learn a foreign language to present the gospel!

Leah said that the Romanian countryside was truly a beautiful place! It was a beautiful place of mountains, rolling hills, and farmland.

Leah Is Back From Romania

This is Leah with a group of Gypsy children in a village in Romania.

It sure is great to have Leah back, but honestly, I think she'd get right back on the next plane to Romania! She had a wonderful and blessed trip! About 80 people trusted Christ as a result of the "wordless" gospel dramas that they did! Praise the Lord! The T.I.M.E. teams out of IBB Miami have a great ministry for evangelizing lost people around the world. We've hosted a team in Cambodia and hope to have another team back again someday. Thanks to everyone who prayed and helped to send support for Leah to be on this mission trip. Lord willing, she'll be going to South America next summer.

Cindy's Bronchoscopy Tomorrow

Well, here's the new info. The PET scan works like this: you take in this glucose solution which is designed to act as "food" for cancer cells and any other "active" hungry cells. Basically, active cells are either cancerous or infectious. Two places in her lungs "lit up" as active. They are located in the left lung near the windpipe. So as of right now, they know that she either has cancer there or she has a very serious infection. The blood work has ruled out infection. Cindy was treated with strong antibiotics last month and so she doesn't think it's an infection. I hope she's wrong, but we'll see. Tomorrow at 1 PM she will have outpatient surgery. They are going to do a bronchoscopy. They will insert a tube through her nose and it will have a camera as well as the ability to take tissue samples for a biopsy. We will meet with the doctor again on Tuesday morning to discuss the results of the biopsy. That's where we stand as of now. We'll update you when we know more. Pray for us as the portion we pay is mounting. Insurance pays for 80% but these tests are $2,000 to $3,000 each. We've had three this month, plus the surgery is coming up tomorrow. I have no idea what that's going to cost.

Thank you for every prayer sent to the throne of grace. God bless ya'll!

More on Cindy's Health

Cindy went for a PET scan and an MRI yesterday. She was supposed to see her doctor next week for a follow-up to discuss the test results and discuss treatment. Cindy changed that appointment to Thursday. But this morning the doctor called and told Cindy that he'd prefer not to wait until Thursday, but wants her to come in tomorrow (Wednesday) at 8:30 CDT. So, we'll know some more tomorrow and will update the blog then. Thanks for all your prayers!
