Taking Action in Romania

Service.  It’s one of the four cornerstones of APU and a very important value on campus.  It seems like almost everywhere there are opportunities to serve both on campus, off campus, or even in Mexico or overseas.  This summer, I have the privilege of traveling to Romania with nine other girls to partner with an organization called Remember the Children and work in an orphanage as part of an Action Team through the Center for Student Action.  

A couple weeks ago, the Center for Student Action put on an all Action Team retreat in Running Springs as a training for all the teams going abroad this summer, but the weekend turned out to be much more than a training.  It was a time of bonding for my team.  We came out of that time not only learning that there is so much we don’t know about Romania but also with the excitement of all that is to come in our next two months of planning and while we are there.

We’re embarking on an adventure and we’re not quite sure what the future holds.  But if we’re certain of one thing, it’s that God has a plan for our team and this trip, and we’re so excited to see what He has in store for us!
