I made several mission trips this month. I worked with Toni A. from Strehaia, Marian J. in Pitulicea, Cosmin C. in Ramnicu S. and the people from Draganesti Olt.

I went to Strehaia with brother Moise M. The purpose of the trip was to strengthen the ministry in Strehaia. We did outreach on the streets and called people to salvation. We also wanted to encourage Toni so that he could be bold when sharing the gospel. He was going through some tough times as he was weary in facing the routine. Lord willing, we want to go there again in the spring and help them with some evangelistic events in the area. We are thinking about something to impact the whole town.

Another mission trip was to Ramnicu Sarat. Brother Cosmin C. organized a campaign of handing out Bibles in the village where he works as a doctor. We went to people's homes to talk with them and give them a Bible. Cosmin got the contact info from the people who wanted to hear more about God. Cosmin is going to visit them.

The third mission trip was to Pitulicea, where Marian J. works. I preached in the church that Sunday morning. Then we had a talk about better organizing the ministry. I encouraged them and made a strategy plan for the upcoming year's evangelistic campaigns.

The last mission trip was to the mission in Olt. The occasion was the funeral of 21 year old student. He died in the reading hall of the university. His death shocked the whole community and it deeply grieved the family and the church. This young man, Dan V., became a Christian five years ago and he lived a fruitful life, bearing a good testimony and being involved in the church ministry. Approximately 600 people attended the funeral service. It's been a good opportunity for many people to hear the gospel and the Holy Spirit touched the hearts of many. I was glad to be there to comfort those who were suffering.

I spent the rest of the time visiting the people from our church, especially the ones going through a hard time.
