As a result of the previous month's competitions, we managed to have more people coming to our practices even though we no longer had as many coaches. I started to spend more time with coach Sergiu D. so that we could plan together our activities. I would like to give him more authority and responsibility so that I can have a reliable person when the ministry extends. He was the one who helped the most with the previous contest. I would like that to happen with each of my disciples. One thing I enjoyed was the good news I got from the former disciples that used to work with Denis. Denis moved to Romania to study there as he is involved in the ministry there with the church from Cluj, Manastur. He is a light among his colleagues. He already started practice there too. Although his coach is not a Christian, he noticed Denis was a good sportsman and he wanted to have him for the contests there. I continue to encourage him to be a light there.

Another piece of news is that Nicolae F. is in the States and attends a church there. He continues the practice and lso helps with organizing sport shows. His coach is a Christian and they have a Bible study once a month. The best thing I hear about my disciples is that they continue their walk with the Lord even when I am not with them. Nicolae G., one of the people who received a black belt, went to study in Chisinau. He is getting baptized on the 27th of April.

I had thought before of when I would see the results of this ministry. And God gave me the joy to see it. He started it and continues to bless it. When I see that, I get to plant the seed of the Word even more faithfully, knowing He causes it to grow.

Besides the groups I lead, I also do individual practices with some children. I made the decision to talk about spiritual things when we get together. There is new child that I stared to train and it has been wonderful to see how God works in his life. His father is a good friend of the priest. He even mediated for the priest's child to come to practices. He has come twice already. But the boy I was telling you about has already attended his third bible study meeting with me. After the first lesson, I asked him to do something on his own. But he needed help so he asked his father to help him. His father had to read the parable of the Good Samaritan. We believe that God will continue to work in this way.
