My final stop on this Eastern Europe journey was Brasov, Romania. 
Brasov is a beautiful little city nestled in the Carpathian mountains of central Romania. It’s springtime in Brasov which meant the weather was perfect and brilliant flowers pouring out of hanging baskets were around every corner.

This old town is full of stunning gothic, baroque and renaissance architecture, old churches, and hundreds of sidewalk cafés. I loved the culture of Brasov! The people were friendly and the pace of life was very relaxed, where people take time to just enjoy life together. One of my favorite slogans was posted on café umbrellas all around. It reads “Brasov – Probably the best city in the world.”
Even greater than this incredible location was the people I got to spend time with here in Brasov. It was a blessing to spend 4 days with the October World Race squad. 
This group of 48 young adults have become family to each other over the past 8 months. They are being stretched as they learn who God is and who they are. My heart was encouraged as I heard stories upon stories of how they have experienced God in the nations. They’re encountering God in brand new ways. They have walked boldly into impossible situations where they’d all be fools unless God showed up. God, of course, showed up time after time, bringing supernatural healing and transformation. They literally experienced God returning sight to people who were blind and healing cancer right before their eyes. One of the racers said, “Out here, I’ve met a God I never knew back home in the confines of my safe and comfortable world.” Their eyes are being opened to see God in new and fresh ways. T
he very ground they walk on is being changed because they carry with them the presence of God. God continues to go before them as they fearlessly blaze the trail seeking to see His Kingdom here on earth.

Please pray for this squad as they head into their last 3 months of ministry. If you want to follow them and hear more incredible stories of God working in and through them, visit their blog site: http://www.theworldrace.org/?tab=teams&group=groupg
