I traveled with eight children to a camp in the mountains for four days. Many parents didn't allow their children to come to camp because they were afraid of accidents. It was a wonderful experience for the children with many games and sports activities. These children had not been to a camp before. They were very glad, especially the girls who cried all the way back home. All of them are children of adults from gang no.2. I was glad they came. They don't play outside even in the village because of the gang no.1.

I went on the streets and contacted several young people. I invited them to church. Some of them prayed with me, but they didn't come to church. I think we should fast more for this ministry.

I made three pastoral visits and thirty evangelistic visits in Fundeni village. There is a lady there who started to come to church three months ago. She is thirty and has two children. She had been attacked by the devil and hadn't slept at home for months. Then she came to church. We prayed for her and the situation calmed down. Her husband was an alcoholic and he wanted to kill her during the night. He hasn't work for 20 years. After this lady decided to follow the Lord her life changed. Both she and her husband started to work. We planned her baptism for October 25.

Recently another lady started to come to church. She has attended a few times last year, but her husband told her not to come. It seems to me that she is more committed this time. She asked me if she could come only on Sundays, because Wednesday she is at work. Her name is Cristina. She is 22 and has two children. Please pray for her. One time when I went to pick up some ladies from the church in my car, and she came too. But I heard that her husband was cursing and telling her to come home. He knows me because I have visited him before. He said he had given his life to the Lord but he hasn't followed Him. When I heard what he said, I told his wife to go home, but she didn't want to. She had come with the other ladies to the church. I visited brother Petrica again who hadn't come to church for years. He came again.

My wife was sick with a cold for almost two weeks. I also got a cold, but now I am feeling well. Praise the Lord.

Please pray for:

1. me and my family to have fervor for the Gospel. We need strength and wisdom for developing the ministry in Frunzanesti and the surrounding villages
2. my family to be a testimony in the church and village;
3. the Lord to give wisdom to the children in Frunzanesti
4. the Lord will guide me to reach the young people's hearts
5. Rita and her husband and for Cristina and her husband to follow the Lord together
6. the treasurer who is hard-hearted and doesn't want to come to church;

Prayer requests: personal spiritual level:

1. that the Lord will strengthen and use me in His ministry;
2. for fervor in studying the Bible
3. for me to be a testimony in my family, in the church and in the village
4. for my family to help and support me in ministry;
5. for wisdom in taking my master degree.

Prayer requests- the spiritual level of the ministry:
