We also have a counseling ministry for those who need counseling or for those who do not feel they need it but they behave in such a way they show they need help. They are called to be counseled.

September is the month of autumn holidays. We celebrate the Day of Harvest. This is a good opportunity both to thank the Lord and to share the Gospel with nonbelievers. We were invited with the people of our church in Talmaza village to an evangelistic event (they had a baptismal service and the Day of Harvest). The children and the young people from our church with our worship team had a rich program and I performed the baptismal service as that church had no pastro. After this we celebrated the Day of Harvest and the people from that church asked me to have a special message for the celebration. I preached from Luke 12:13-21.

We celebrated the Day of Harvest in our church on September 28. We used this opportunity to invite new people via mail. But this year somehow the invitation reached people on September 29. We are so sorry for this. Nevertheless many nonbelievers were confronted with the Gospel. The program was very special and wonderful.

We also started the daycare center. We have 15 children. This year in the project are involved both Russian speaking children and Romanian speaking children. This is not a problem for us as the teacher speaks both languages.

Upcoming Events

The youth ministry in November and the ministry with the men. By God's help, we plan to start a church program in Russian. This will be after the New Year's Eve. We plan to have the evening service in Russsian.

Prayer Concerns

• Please continue to pray for the daycare center. We started this project this month and we have 15 children. Our budget decreased and we would need $200 per month (September-May) and plus $200 for the winter months (November-March for heating).
• We pray for the youth ministry and for the spiritual growing as well as in number for our church.
• In October we want to organize in Anenii Noi a Conference on Hermeneutics and Homiletics. Please pray both for professors and the students that will come.
• Although there is still a lot of time until Christmas, I want to challenge you to pray for a project we plan to do this year. This project is entitled "A Walk in Bethlehem". We also want to get involved in some social projects for children and old people.
• Also, please pray for the Russian program we plan for the period after the New Year's Eve.
