DTS outreach

We are a DTS ( Discipleship Training School ) from Rovaniemi doing our practical part. We thought that it would be fun to share our experiences with you. So please, check it out! :)

The 15th of December we left our home country for Romania. Our first destination was Medias, a town in the middle of Romania. This far we have been working with gipsies, visiting a hospital and an orphanage home, taking part in several church services etc. We have also been able to experience Romanian Christmas traditions, which means going singing carols from door to door and visiting house after house, eating cake after cake. We have enjoyed this different way of celebrating Christmas, the Romanians are sooooo wonderful and generous that you can´t help loving them.

The Romanians are also very people orientated and relationships always come first. For example, even if you are in a hurry there´s still time for a cup of coffee with a friend that you happen to meet on the street. Something to think about for all Finns...

On Saturday we´ll go to Sighisoara, a place not too far from Medias, and there we´ll spend the rest of our time in Romania. The 15th of January we´ll go back to Finland for a coulpe of days, and then our outreach continues in Iceland.

That was shortly our news. From now on you can follow our outreach here. We´ll update this blog as far as it´s possible.

CRACIUN FERICIT! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
