Every Saturday of this month was a new opportunity to tell the good news to the children and to provide them with healthy teaching for their lives. I tried to involve Mricica more this month. She is always my help with the children's program. Two other teenagers, Cristina and Doina, help along. Neither Cristina's parents nor Doina's know the Lord. But they come to the teenage club and have the desire to help with the children ministry. I pray that God will give me wisdom to motivate and mould the children.
The children and I went out into nature. We spent a good time playing together. We got to know them better this way and believe it will help us serve them better. Adriana and Alina invited two of their friends to join us, Sergiu and Aliona. Valentin also brought his friends who had not been to our programs for quite a while. This is the way God works with children.

During one of our times together, we made evangelistic bracelets. I challenged them to show it and present it to one of their friends. Valentin came the next time and told how he had presented it to two of his friends. I pray that God will use each of them to make Himself known among them.

Other people from our church and I participated in the evangelistic project in our town. I was really happy to be a witness of Christ. God strengthened us despite rejection and mockery from some people. I was motivated and encouraged by the verse that says, "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."
The whole group who gets together on a weekly basis participated in this event. God motivated each and everyone of us. Tamara confessed how troubled she felt when thinking about doing outreach.  It was the first time for her. God spoke to her personally and she decided to come. There are also other wonderful testimonies of the people from our group that shared how God worked during this time of outreach. Despite shame and fear or other obstacles, as a group, we understood that God gave us the assignment to reconcile people with Him. I pray that He will use us in this respect and give us His power.

The children, ages 4-6, get together every Sunday. Brother Costel is the one who shares the Word with them.

We have already started the preparations for the summer camps. We also went to the school we had visited for Easter and handed out the invitations to VBS. The principal told us that there were parents who enrolled their children for the summer camps. We thank God for His strength!
