Going into all the world ... with the IMB

We are just putting our blog together. We are glad that you are interested in hearing about and seeing what God is doing in Moldova! We will be going through orientation for a couple of months, spending the holidays with our family, and then we are off to Bucharest Romania for language study! We should be in Moldova the end of March or the first part of April ... the flowers will be beautiful around this time! If you would like to know more about church planting in Moldova please follow this link: http://web.mac.com/lomjr From the Open Windows Summer 2008 devotion: Why the Cross? Devotional Passage: 1 Peter 2:21-25 Jesus' death on the cross is a shadow of what we deserved from God's hand. Facing a holy God during judgment, yet having sin permeating our lives, would cause us enormous agony. Our destiny would include an unending death. We would want it to end, but our pain would continue forever. Praise God that He took that punishment upon Himself. Why the cross? So "that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness." Thank you Jesus!! Smile, God loves you!
