This month was very cold and the kids mostly came to the kids' programs. I was sad to hear the news about the death of the mother of a teenager who used to come to church. He came to church until he was 15 and then he quit. He is now 17. Although I invited him to come to church again, he wouldn't because the priest talked him out of it. Both his father and I were very disappointed. I want to visit him again and talk to him. His name is Ion. Please pray for him. I shared the gospel with seven young people. Two girls, Nuat and Onita, gave their lives to Christ.

I made two pastoral visits and 30 evangelistic ones. I was very busy with organizing things in our church. As a young church we need to be more organized so that we can be an example for all the people who come. I realized that people who came to church who were not true believers created confusion and damaged the church's reputation. Therefore we advised the people that started to come to church, but didn't really repent of their sins, to tell others that they attended the church and would like to repent. This way we want to have a good reputation in the village and this area. We also talked about the conditions people should meet if they wanted to be part of the church's committee from 1Timothy 3 andTitus 1. We had four days of fasting with the whole church and we prayed for these things. We are going to fast again this coming month so that people will make responsible decisions when voting.

I want to thank HeartCry for the money they sent for my wife's surgery.  She was hospitalized on February 15 and had the surgery on the 18th. She stayed in the hospital until the 21st.  I want to thank everyone who prayed for us and also brother Nicu V. and the church in Pucioasa. The Lord provided for some of our needs through them . The church in Pucioasa had a special offering for my family and I want to thank them because they stood by me.

My wife is feeling better after the surgery. She will have her stitches removed on March 4. I want to thank brother Sorin P. once again and the people from Pucioasa. I pray that God will bless and reward them  for all prayer and financial support. God is faithful in preparing the means to overcome this trial. Praise Him for His kindness and faithfulness!
