Adventure of Love
Dear Friends, Prayer warriors, and future missions partners,
We, the Grows, have been accepted to work with Global Celebration, the ministry of Georgian and Winnie Banov. We are both honored and humbled by this incredible opportunity! From May 31-June 10 we will be going to Bulgaria and Rome to love on Gypsies, the poorest of the poor, and learn more about Jesus and his love. As you can see, this missions trip has been appropriately named "Adventure of Love."
I ,Karriane, went to India last year with the Banov's to love on orphans, widows, and gypsies. I loved on those in garbage dumps, orphanages leper colonies and served these beautiful people food at a grand feast! There, they still are on the cast system and have been cast out of society, but not out of the kingdom!
(Karriane "Dee-Dee" and her beautiful friend Ishwara from the Bliss house.)
Upon getting married October 14th we knew adventure was around any possible corner and waited for God's voice to show us what adventure that may be. Then he spoke and confirmed what was placed on our hearts was his desire.
Psalms 32:8
"The Lord says, " I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you."
In Bulgaria we have the honor to tangibly love these precious chosen ones that Jesus loves so very much by providing them food, joyful music, prayer, and anything else we have the ability to do to honor them as Jesus honors and loves them. After Bulgaria, in Rome, we get the opportunity to learn more about his wonderful love some more. It is quite an exciting time in our marriage and lives.

James 1:27
"Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained by the world."
(Karriane dancing at the bliss house with the children.)
We look foward to this and know that God has something very special for us to give and to gleen on this wild adventure to bring back here to the States!
We cannot do it without your help though!
We will need plenty of prayer and help with finances.
Would your please prayerfully consider sewing into the kingdom as God uses us for his Kingdom?
