Gary Stoll explains how a short-term trip to Romania changed his life.
"By my own admission, a big part of me wanted to come to Romania in 2003 was for the experience and for enhancing my CV. Never did I think that 20 years later I would still be serving here. But God in His grace has taught me the importance of long-term vision in short-term missions. Little did I know that God was using my short-term mission trips every summer to prepare me for long-term overseas service.
"Not everyone is called to be sent as a long-termer overseas. But we are all called to be partners in the gospel in whatever shape or form that may take, and short-term mission can help ignite a passion for missions both at home and on the field. Therefore, short-term missions can be of great value.
"Ioana and I set out in 2014 on a two year overseas mission here in Piatra Neamt. Two years have now become nine and a half years. So we are extremely thankful to God for you, for your long-term support, and your heart for overseas missions in Romania!"
