It was amazing how God could use regular people like us to make an impact in other people's lives! I thank God that I had the opportunity to go to Moldova this summer. No matter what kind of mission work you do, it always makes an impact on you one way or another. As we got to know the kids better, we noticed that there were a lot of kids that had already accepted Christ as their Savior, but they didn't know what to do after that. So, we began a small bible study group with the older girls where we would pray and study the bible together. I saw these girls change from day to day. They hungered for something more and profound in their lives and they found that fulfillment in the word of God. I will never forget the kid's smiling faces, their cheerful laughter, their outstretched arms, their honest prayers, their innocent faith and most heart clenching... their goodbye tears. It was a beautiful reminder of how God wants us to be like a child; innocent and pure before the Lord (Matthew 18:3).
