Final Thoughts

On October 14 & 15 we returned to Sofia and conducted another Equip Level 1 seminar for 15 people at the Church of God headquarters building. Then on the 16th we conducted a marriage seminar for a small church there.

On Sunday, October 17, we flew to Vienna where one of our dear friends, Milan Sefcik, picked us up and took us to Bratislava, Slovakia for the rest of that day and Monday. We had not been there for a couple of years and wanted to stop and see some of our friends there. Slovakia was our main focus for a number of years and we came to know and love many people there so this was a real treat for us. On Tuesday, October 19, we flew home.

While we were in the Sofia area, as has become our custom, we went and bought basic foods at the Metro store (their version of Costco), filled bags and delivered them to poor Gypsy families living in the slums of Sofia. God has given us a heart to serve these people and try to help them lift themselves out of their pitiful circumstances. In many respects, this is why we do what we do. I will let the pictures tell the story.
