Psalm 67

 For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm. A song.

¹ May God be gracious to us and bless us
   and make his face shine on us—^[b]
2 so that your ways may be known on earth,
   your salvation among all nations.

³ May the peoples praise you, God;
   may all the peoples praise you.
⁴ May the nations be glad and sing for joy,
   for you rule the peoples with equity
   and guide the nations of the earth.
⁵ May the peoples praise you, God;
   may all the peoples praise you.

⁶ The land yields its harvest;
   God, our God, blesses us.
⁷ May God bless us still,
   so that all the ends of the earth will fear him.

67 DAYS! :o)

I had my first team meeting yesterday, and I am getting SUPER excited about the trip to Romania! My team has made me feel right at home, I already feel as I'm part of their little "family"! I just know God has GREAT things planned for this trip! I feel incredibly blessed to be given this opportunity!

If anyone would like to donate ANYTHING that may be useful to these orphans at camp, we would ALL appreciate anything you can do. Some examples I was told were items like water bottles, toothbrushes, clothes, frisbees, etc!

Thanks again to each of your for your support, love, and generosity!  

Blessings!!

One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want. Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.

Hey all!

So I have about 2 weeks to come up with $2100 (75% of the cost of the trip) and I have to admit I am starting to sweat! I know God is calling me to go on this trip and that I need to trust HIM FULLY, but it is  harder than it sounds.  I DO have FAITH that he will provide and pave the way so I can go on this missions trip, but handing it over 100% is a struggle for me!

Thank you to all who have reached out financially, or by praying, and even all of you who have sent me such nice and encouraging messages! It ALL helps and I am forever grateful!

I am arranging a family day photo shoot through my church in which all the proceeds will go to not just me, but my entire team that is going to Romania this summer! I'm praying for a successful fundraiser, won't you too?

Thanks again to each of you!

Dear Family and Friends...

Dear Family and Friends,

I am going on a mission trip this summer to the country of Romania. I am going to be part of a team of people from Crossroads Church who will hold a summer camp for orphaned children, ranging in age from 8 to 18. I am very excited about this opportunity and I would like to ask you prayerfully consider supporting me through prayer and giving. The dates I will be traveling are June 29-July 8 and the cost is approximately $2,800. I’d like to share some information with you about the children we will be serving.

 There are approximately 125,000 orphaned children living in Romania. Many of these children have grown up in state run orphanages from the time of birth. Some have been left on the doorsteps of these institutions by family members or parents who suffer from poverty, addiction, and mental illness. These children grow up suffering physically, emotionally, and psychologically. They are regarded as unwanted and undesirable and are treated as outcasts in their society. The care and education they receive is substandard and sets them up to repeat the vicious cycle of dysfunction.

For the past 10 years, teams from Atlanta, California, and Colorado have gone to Mures County in Romania to minister to the "least of these." These teams have held week long, overnight camps that focus on sharing God's love and His hope with these children. These teams have built play structures, provided dental care, and transported medical supplies, clothing, and school supplies to various counties in the western region of the country.

I believe that God is calling me to join Him where He is already at work and be a part of this year’s team. I want to share His love and His hope with these children at camp and remind them that they are cherished and valued and that their lives have purpose and meaning.

Please pray that our team will be knit together and that God will speak through us during our week with the children in Romania. Please pray for our health and safety and for the health and safety of my family while I am away. Please consider making a donation toward my trip costs if you feel led to do so. Your donations are tax deductible and may be given to the church on my behalf.  I have also set up a Pay Pal account for those of you who would like to donate can go directly to the site and conveniently submit a donation.

Thank you so very much!

In Him,

Erica S. Hackworth
