Bucharest, Romania — A Sheldon woman who is serving as a missionary in Romania has found a way to remain connected with the services at her home church in Sheldon, Iowa.
Mandi Rodger says she listens to the online stream of the Sunday morning service from St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Sheldon via the KIWA website.
She says it’s the little things she hears in those services that serve as something of a lifeline to home.
Mandi says the focus of her mission work is on Romania’s abandoned children.
We asked her how she came to choose Romania for her mission work.
Mandi is living and working in Bucharest, the capital city of Romania, and says that, at least for now, a lot of her time is spent learning the language.
Mandi is a graduate of Sheldon High School, and is the daughter of Doug and Juanita Rodger of Sheldon. We talked with Mandi, online, via Skype Wednesday afternoon.
