Regarding my preaching activity in church, I have started a series of messages from Romans. I pray that God will guide so that I can deliver His complete message.

From August 17 until August 20, we had day camp for kids and teenagers. My wife and I and a few other young people help. Around 50 kids attended and we believe it's been a blessing both for them and their families. Some of the parents showed their gratitude for what we had done. My assignment was to lead the songs and teach the Bible lessons for the teenagers. While I had been familiar with the kids ministry because of my wife, I had the opportunity to work with them more consistently, especially with the new group of teenagers. We are praying for the work. I am thankful for the way my wife worked with these kids who have actually grown up as teenagers now. I pray that God will guide us to see how we can serve Him better.

I want to share a few things about the day camp. This ministry is not an easy thing to do as we need a team. I challenged several young people from church and eventually made up a team. They did their best and showed their dedication to this ministry. They had the opportunity to do something practical.
I've been particularly impressed with Viorel, a deaf-and-dumb young man who is an orphan. He did everything he could to help with the day camp. Actually, I came to realize that it didn't take just  words to witness to someone and Viorel totally showed it. He helped with everything, befriended the kids and showed God's love in many ways. All the people that helped did it for the first time. God's Spirit blessed us with unity and good fellowship. We pray that God will call them to be full-time kids and teens ministers.

Last week I started counseling two young people that are in a relationship with the view of getting married. I talked to each of them and urged them to honor God with the decisions they made for their lives. My wife and I made the decision to support them until they get married. We'll do counseling with them just as we have done with other couples before them.

I visited a place called Ursoaia where a new church is being planted there. As a youth pastor, I was invited to preach there when they had a youth evangelistic night. Along with youth from our church, we had a singing program and I delivered the sermon.
