Thankfulness

The sun shines brightly most days in Lubbock Texas. We are surrounded by the warmth of the love of our family and friends, and we are led by God's peace. We have settled into a new home, new jobs, and a new pre-school. Olivia is loving the constant availability of her grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. We are so blessed...We praise God for His love and faithfulness to us.

We would like to thank you for your prayers. We hope that you will keep in touch.

May God continue blessing you and yours as you serve the God of Glory!

Leave of Absence

In late August the Meador family will be leaving Romania for a three month medical leave of absence. We want to thank you for your continued prayer and support as we seek care for Cindy's health issues and discern God's direction for our lives. Please pray for spiritual growth for the people and work of the Church of the Nazarene in Romania.

Tigmandru Baptism

We just returned from Tigmandru where Pastor Roberta Bustin baptised four believers in a lake near the village. Rev. Norman Patterson and I assisted her. After the baptism we enjoyed a grilled sausage picnic together. I preached in Sighisoara on Sunday morning where I shared some of the signs of a great church: a community of people who need God, obey him, worship him and speak boldly for him - (based on the church of Acts chapter two).

Vacation days!!!

We just got back from a vacation at the beach in Bulgaria, and to the mountains of Sinaia, Romania. You can click the link above (Photos from Romania) for more pics from our trip.

A Simple Gesture

[Cindy] I walked into the small store and bought a bottle of water. On my way out I saw a young girl waiting for her coffee to exit the coffee machine. I reached out and patted her shoulder and smiled at her and went on my way. I climbed into the van and as I was shifting into gear the young lady passed by the van, turned, smiled and waved at me. I returned the wave and the smile. It warmed my heart. She said something that I couldn't hear, and then she turned around and walked over to the van. I rolled the window down and she began talking to me. I didn't get much of what she said. I told her that I only speak a little Romanian. She smiled. I touched her shoulder and wished her a good day. She wished me the same. As she walked away she turned once more and we exchanged smiles and waves again. I prayed for her as I drove home. Maybe I will see her again. U[ntil then I will continue to pray for her. God knows her name. He knows where she lives and what she needs. I close my eyes and I see her precious little face. "Be with her Abba, comfort her I pray."

Trash Day

About a week ago a car pulled up at the old abandoned house (in front of our house) and workers donned themselves with rubber boots, gloves, and masks. They then stepped into the old house and began to clean out all that was in the three story building. It took them 2 days and several dumpsters full of trash to clear out most of the contents that had accumulated. The trash is now gone and the open windows and doors are now covered with a wire mess that prevents any further dumping. OH you bet I am singing praise to my precious Lord!! It was exactly one week after our street was newly paved with asphalt that the car rolled up and the workers exited ready to do some serious cleaning. After seeing some little mice exit and enter the old house a few days before, I am thankful that He sent in a cleaning crew - You bet I am giving God the credit. He is listening...
