Through God's grace I made a plan with the entire church and involved other men and ladies from the church. I made a list with all the members who had stopped coming to church, the church's friends who visited us from time to time, and the friends and relatives who aren't saved. I split the church in four groups. I designated several leaders for each group and gave them responsibilities and involved them in the mission points as well. This past month we visited several new families and started to have meetings in their homes each Monday and Thursday. They agreed to have regular meetings in their homes because they are large families. Please pray for them. They are fiddlers. Some years ago they were open for the Gospel, but their relatives forbade them to receive us anymore. Now they have a new desire to hear the Word. Please pray for these families, Fane B. who is a cymbalist and his wife Mihaela, Dorel and his family.

We started the ministry again in the mission point from 23 August District. A group of people from our church go there each Wednesday and Sunday. I appointed a leader for this group and once a week I accompany them too. People started to come again to our meetings. Another group goes to Filistache village once a week. This group is made of two families that visit another family that got baptized. They have fellowship in their home. The other two groups are in charge of Bobesti and Glina. I am a leader in these two groups and get involved 4 days a week in this ministry.

The church has a new energy since I challenged the people from the church. Our services are full of grace and refreshment. Many times the programs last over an hour. Actually our services last for 3 hours. Because of our involvement in other peoples' lives the church is overcrowded with people who want to stay in the presence of God. Please support us in your prayers that God would give us grace, wisdom and guidance for this ministry.

I made a plan for reading the Old Testament with the entire church. We started with Genesis and are reading seven chapters a week. On Sundays we answer several questions from those chapters. Then we study the last chapter in church.

Each Friday evening we have a prayer time for two hours. The people from the church understood the power and importance of prayer. Each time around 20-30 people come for prayer. We pray for the members' problems, our mission points, the people that started to visit us and the growth of the church. We have started a men's meeting twice a month. We have fellowship and training for those who want to get involved in the ministry. Please pray for all these projects.
